Konnekt 24D is a groundbreaking audio interface that integrates TC's world famous effects in a state-of-the-art design. The Fabrik C channel strip and Fabrik R reverb known from TC's PowerCore platform are built into the Konnekt 24D and they work even when the unit is used in stand-alone mode. Konnekt 24D is designed for recording and performing musicians who want the highest possible sound quality from input, through built-in real-time effects, to the recording application.
Two combo inputs on the front panel combine outstanding mic preamp quality with true Hi-Z guitar optimized inputs. The light ring gives you easy access, instant control and visual feedback on important parameters directly from the front panel. You can stack up to four Konnekts together using TC NEAR™ - Network Expandable Audio Recording - to obtain a massive amount of I/O and effects channels. If you are working with active monitors, you'll be delighted with the analog volume control that ensures a wide dynamic range. Dual headphone outputs are convenient when you’re two in studio and one of the headphone outputs comes with an auto speaker muting function. If you don't need all the I/O or the DSP effects, choose Konnekt 8, which is a non-DSP version of Konnekt 24D with less I/O.
TC effects inside - in short
We’ve built two of the newest and most innovative TC effects into the Konnekt 24D - Fabrik C channel strip and Fabrik R reverb, both known from the PowerCore platform. Once you’re connected you have instant access to superior reverbs and dynamics processing. In fact what you get is rack-mount quality processing that you normally only would find in a dedicated 19” rack unit.
The effects can be used in stand-alone mode and offer unique direct monitoring capabilities, even between devices. Both Fabrik C and Fabrik R are based on MINT™ - Meta Intuitive Navigation Technology - a completely new approach to working with audio. The MINT™ technology allows you to execute complex audio adjustments simply by moving icons around the screen.
IMPACT™ - Integrated Mic PreAmp Circuit Technology
Konnekt comes with two high quality IMPACT™ preamps that give you the very best opportunity to make outstanding quality recordings. The IMPACT™ preamps are based on dedicated and steadfast technology that ensures a perfect and unbiased signal flow, from start to finish.
Guitar audio Hi-Z inputs
We’ve built dedicated guitar input circuits into the Konnekt. The inbuilt Hi-Z functionality gives you high impedance inputs that are based on tailor-made circuits, dedicated for guitar and bass. The Hi-Z inputs will give you the highest level of quality and preserve the original tone and sonic quality of your instrument.
Ultimate signal path
Konnekt 24D is designed with an ultimate signal path. The 24-bit/192 kHz audio interface is based on TC’s years of research into analog design and converter technology, as well as the experience from other landmark products like the Finalizer and the flagship System 6000.
The internal architecture ensures optimal performance and quality, and gives you an optimum signal path from the inputs, through to the built-in real-time DSP, and on to the recording application.

* We recommend running Konnekts on a dedicated FireWire bus.
If your computer has one or more FireWire connections on the chassis they will typically run on the same FireWire bus. You may connect the Konnekt to one of these. If you intend to run more FireWire devices simultaneously, such as e.g. an external hard drive, we recommend running this device on a separate bus.
This would typically be on an installed FireWire PCI card. Note that such a FireWire PCI card typically has 3 ports but these also operate on a single bus.
