Studio Konnekt 48 is the member of the FireWire powered Konnekt audio interface family offering the most comprehensive feature set that the world has ever seen in an audio interface.
It is the most complete product TC Electronic has ever made, and it represents a milestone to the computer recording world.

Studio Konnekt 48 offers a comprehensive array of professional features that make recording, mixing and monitoring a breeze. All essential recording tools are in one box including world-class DSP effects, a wealth of I/O options, speaker management and many other powerful tools to take your recordings to the next level.

The extensive I/O section features 4 IMPACT II™ preamps. With 8 line ins on the rear panel, the total amount of simultaneously streamable analog inputs is 12 as well as 12 analog outputs. Two outputs feature digitally controlled analog XLR connections for optimal connection with your main monitor speakers while the analog output section has 2 independent phones out.

The comprehensive digital I/O section features double ADAT 96 kHz SMUX, TOS, S/PDIF and Word Clock I/O and the digital part is powered by the second-to-none DICE Jet jitter elimination engine.

Studio Konnekt 48 comes with nothing short of world-class DSP effects, including the Fabrik C Studio, an easy-to-use channel strip and mastering tool that offers 4-band EQ, multiband compression and limiting based on algorithms from TC’s high-end System 6000. Also running on DSPs you'll find the Fabrik R Studio no compromise reverb based on TC Electronic Reverb 4000 technology.
It has a DSP powered 24/8 digital mixer with 48-bit double precision summing on all mix points. There is no compromise routing for all outputs and a wealth of insert points offering top-notch flexibility.

Not only does Studio Konnekt 48 offer support for surround speaker systems, it does way more than that. The speaker management section is based on technology from the famous AIR™ speaker series, featuring individual speaker level and delay settings. The Bass Management feature gives you total control of your sub speaker and the speaker management offers instant control of up to 3 speaker sets.

Studio Kontrol Remote Unit
Studio Konnekt 48 comes with a cool, compact remote. With the Studio Kontrol remote at hand, you have access to all essential mixer parameters, including main level, mix levels, reverb level/decay time, speaker set selection, AUX sends and more. It has a built-in talkback microphone and a really cool light ring.

Anything else? Well, the cool factor of this remote is upped even further by the built-in guitar tuner.

Studio Konnekt 48 Press Quotes

Audio Fanzine May 2008 – Sleepless:
"The sound quality is stunning, I constantly rediscover subtle details in tracks or pieces, even if I know them by heart. The SK48 / BM6A association works really nicely, which is hardly surprising, because there’s every possibility that TC R&D uses Dynaudio speakers."

Audio Media March 2008 – Paul Mac:
'Studio Konnekt is a very capable potential addition to any native DAW set-up, and can also double as a standalone unit for field recording and monitoring duties – especially with the remote in the picture. Very nice indeed.'

Sound On Sound April 2008 – Paul White:
'When you consider that the konnekt 48 can save you the cost of a separate monitor controller, and factor in the quality of the onboard DSP effects, its price is very reasonable. The mic preamps sound very clean and transparent – the certainly compare well with anything available on a similarly priced competing interface – and having four of them is very welcome.'
