The Komplete Audio 1 is the perfect entry point for anyone looking to record high-quality mono sounds, such as vocals and guitar, directly into a computer.

Product Description
Professional Recording Quality:
Capture every detail of your performance with high-definition 24-bit recording at sample rates up to 192kHz. The Audio 1 features two distinct inputs: an XLR microphone input with +48V phantom power for condenser mics, and a 6.3mm jack input with independent gain control for guitars, basses, or other line-level instruments. This dual-input setup allows you to record a vocal and an instrument simultaneously on separate tracks.
Intuitive Monitoring and Control:
The top panel of the Komplete Audio 1 is dominated by a large volume knob for quick output adjustments. It also features an LED VU-meter that allows you to visualize your levels and prevent clipping. For zero-latency recording, the Direct Monitoring function lets you blend the audio from your computer with the signal coming directly from your inputs, ensuring you hear yourself perfectly while performing.
Seamless Connectivity and Software:
Designed for modern workflows, the interface is USB 2.0 bus-powered, eliminating the need for an external power supply. The rear panel includes stereo RCA outputs, making it easy to connect directly to home hi-fi systems or monitor speakers. It also includes a high-power headphone output for detailed monitoring. To get you started immediately, it comes with a comprehensive software suite including Ableton Live Lite, MASCHINE Essentials, and various Komplete instruments and effects.
