Digital Konnekt x32 – Patchbay, Format Converter, Audio Interface and hardware integrator

Digital Konnekt x32 not only puts patching and signal-splitting under preset control, and converts between formats. What comes out is also better than what went in.

Thanks to System 6000 grade clock clean-up and jitter rejection, Digital Konnekt x32 makes your other audio devices and DAW perform better while at the same time facilitating digital interfacing. Digital Konnekt handles AES, ADAT, SPDIF and Firewire audio, and provides extra features such as computer independent operation, convenient monitoring and UI lock.

Clock and jitter reduction

Thanks to System 6000 grade clock clean-up and jitter rejection, Digital Konnekt x32 makes your other audio devices and DAW perform better while at the same time facilitating digital interfacing. Digital Konnekt x32 takes any AES, ADAT, SPDIF or Firewire signal and transforms it into a professional and distributed Reference Clock. A solid clock foundation improves the reliability of digital interfacing as well as the performance of AD and DA converters in your entire studio.

Synchronous routing is 24 bit transparent, even between formats, while sample rate converters may be inserted on inputs that run free or use a different clock reference.

All the Tools – One Toolbox

Up until now, the pro audio market has only seen single function units such as format- and sample rate converters, patchbays, house clocks and audio interfaces offering digital signal handling. Never before have these essential functions been incorporated in a single platform linking your entire fleet of digital devices to your DAW.

Make your favorite hardware the heart of your DAW

With Digital Konnekt and the new Integrator plug-in, you can now utilize your trusted and favorite digital hardware tools within your DAW system.

Featuring TC's plug-in streaming technology, the Integrator plug-in (VST and AU) facilitates seamless integration of all external units with your recording setup; once connected, adding the unique sound of your Reverb4000 (or any other external digital hardware unit – TC or non-TC) is just a mouse click away. And with the built-in latency roundtrip measuring feature and your DAW’s latency compensation, your projects will not suffer from latency induced by external hardware.
