Today I when checked the pins for the mic input with my VM with Pin-1 being ground, these are the readings I got with the switch on then off.įirst of all there shouldn't be any voltage if the switch is off right? The mic I was using is an old Audio Technica ATM31R condenser. Also the input levels were very close to being the same, no significant difference. Okay, I got a chance to check this out with my volt meter.Īs I mentioned above, I tested this with the switch both on and off and I got the same results regardless. With 6 ins/6-outs, it provides a flexible set of connections for studio and stage, with the. It’s an affordable interface that allows control over your modular system, with intuitive controls, great audio and a simple, modern aesthetic. Pin 1 is ground, and hence the differential audio signal signal (AC) is between pins 2 and 3, and the phantom power (D) is supposed to be seen between pins 2 or 3 versus pin 1. The Komplete Audio 6 MKII Audio Interface is the successor to the Komplete Audio 6, first released in 2011. Is this the normal way it works? No big deal, I'm just curious. With all the good folks here that use Audio 6 for an interface I thought someone may have some ideas.Īlso While I'm at it, I've noticed that when I change sample rate or buffer settings in Reaper, it's not reflected in Audio 6. So it appears the 48v Phantom supply is on all the time, regardless of the switch or the 48v indicator on top. I recently bought Behringer C1 and C3 condenser mics.

It supplies phantom power (switchable) and does not have the option for external power as far as I can see. Just so you know, I've got enough experience recording microphones, so I'm not mistakenly using a dynamic. I have a Native Instruments Komplete Audio 6 interface which I love.

The only thing I haven't done is reboot the computer because I'm in the middle of a rather heavy project. 2x combo-XLR /1/4' TRS inputs with 48V phantom power, and gain control for flexible stereo recording - 2 x 1/4' TRS line level inputs - 1 x SPDIF.
Komplete audio 6 phantom power upgrade#
I made some subsequent checks/tests and sure enough, the condenser recorded fine regardless whether the switch was on or off. Building on Native Instruments popular first generation interface, the KOMPLETE AUDIO 6 Mk2 features a marked upgrade in audio quality, with up to 24-bit recording and 192 kHz sample rates. Then I got to looking and saw that the 48v switch was off. Since everything was being recorded as it should I never checked. The strange thing is, the 48 volt power supply was off. I spent about two hours recording some dialog and it turned out good, just as expected. I finally got a chance to record with my new Komplete Audio 6 today using a condenser microphone.
