I'm about 90% on buying one in the next 2 weeks.

You will not be disappointed, the built in effects might be a waste of time for you guys but, I assure you the sound quality will be top notch. I know of more then one mastering studio that has used the Finalizer product made by T.C as the final A-D converter for many a studio project to to mention there multiband compression. They make a good product.

Anyone have thoughts on how these interfaces stack up compared with the MOTU (UltraLite/Traveler) and RME (Fireface400/800) gear, other than the obvious stuff like #'s of pre's, ins/outs, etc?  More interested in sound quality, stability, etc. Not serious yet but thinking..

After what I've read recently in Grateful Dead Gear about TC Electronic, I'm sold on this company;s pedigree. They definitely seem to be the real deal. I have done some drooling over their guitar gear of late, as well. (Though, as I'm primarily an acoustic player, I've no actual need.)

I think I'll be buying the konnekt8.

I have used several of their delay and effects units when running live sound and really like them. Quality build for sure
CK1x, CK2x, CK3x > Hub Industry Cables > Naiant PFA or MK46 > 460B
CK1, CK8, CK63 > 460b

I'd like to hear some sort of comp with the FastTrack Pro if that's possible.  I'm very interested to hear this box.  It's so appealing to me.

I sold the Fast Track to partially finance the konnekt8, sorry.

I know that this is a really stupid question but I noticed that there is only 1 phantom power button.

Does that mean it can only power 1 condenser mic?  Or does that turn phantom on for both ports?

Not a stupid question.
The single button activates it for both ports. It's a fairly common thing until you get above the prosumer market...

Finally got to play with this over the weekend, pics* and audio clips will be forthcoming later in the week...


*had some trouble getting inside, they use progressively smaller and smaller star bits on that thing... finally got down to the last two screws and "doh!" those are smaller than all the others! None of my bits fit  :(

Here's a little sample.
Recorded as follows:
Guitar mic'd with Superlux SMK-H8K cards > TC Electronic Konnekt8 > FW > Laptop > Reaper @ 24/96
Gain knobs vertical ~50% of available.

This clip is brief and, it turns out that I could have gone higher with the gain but it's clean...

I'll run some more soon and I'll see about those pictures, too.

I like the sample.  This box is so tempting.
