Tc Electronic 1394 Driver



Windows installed 'Texas Instrument 1394 OHCI Compliant Controller', driver version 10.0.15063.0 with a date of 6/21/2006 which sounds like it installed the 'Legacy' driver. However, I can't find any reference to this driver and whether it is the 'Legacy' driver or not. Drivers filed under: TC Electronic.

Sound quality 9.7/10

Desktop Konnekt 6 sounds really good. Music played by this interface has a lot of definition, clarity and detail.

Guitar inputs are of exceptional quality. Highs are cut so there's no hiss there, but it sounds a little bit like a Line 6 POD Studio interface. Preamps do their job well and sound fine. Compared to M-Audio Firewire 410, Desktop Konnekt seems to have more low end, less highs and slightly smaller dynamic range.

What's totally awesome is that this device has a power supply with a grounding pin. It saves you from ground loop problems if you're working on a computer with power supply that has no grounding, like a Mac mini or a notebook.

I didn't have an opportunity to check its microphone preamp yet.

Headphone output sounds nice and it can get very loud.

The included M40 Studio Reverb sounds smooth comes also as a plug-in (AU, VST). It offers hall, plate and room algorithms.

Phase issue, all analog outputs

There's a 180 degree phase shift on all outputs of the Konnekt 6. In other words the phase is inverted. In theory this shouldn't make a difference as the sound is a wave and it doesn't matter to human ear if it's compression or decompression, because both are perceivable. IMHO it does sound a bit different especially on headphones, giving an impression of more saturated and fuller low end, and, what's worse, it also affects double and quad tracking guitars resulting in a certain weird quality in recorded material.

It seems at first that the Konnekt 6 has balanced analog outputs, but they are so called ground sensing balanced (electronically balanced) outs and their design doesn't allow inverting the phase. The third pin doesn't send inverted signal.

Tc Electronic 1394 Driver

Systemsoft driver download for windows xp. Support at TC Electronic has problems with understanding written language - detailed description of the case that included information on how to identify the problem was answered after weeks with a suggestion that I used faulty wiring, even though I used previously tested standard instrument cables and this was also mentioned. I tested two different Konnekt 6 units and other interfaces that use the same TC designed chip - Focusrite Saffire PRO 14 and Presonus Firestudio Mobile. Firstly I thought that it could be a software issue, but the same situation occurs with Direct Monitoring and no computer connected.

Round trip latency, driver performance (Mac OS X Lion, Intel Core i5-2410M)

Measured round trip latency goes down to 6.96ms (307 samples @ 44.1kHz) at Core Audio buffer size of 14 samples and operation mode set to normal (lowest safety buffers setting). With the buffer set to 128 samples at the same operation mode, the latency raises to 12.13ms (535 samples). These are more than acceptable values, however there are interfaces out there that perform a bit better in this field. There's no latency drift - it's stable no matter what. Drivers are reliable and solid. Performance wise I encountered no dropouts even at the lowest latency with 12 tracks loaded with Overloud TH2 (preset - Big Stack 80) in Reaper. CPU usage reported by Reaper was around 66%.

Update - the latency is lower by 9 samples (0.204ms) on the headphone out. It seems that the main level knob is digital and the phones level knob is a simple analog potentiometer. This makes the lowest possible round trip latency go down to 6.757ms (298 samples @ 44.1kHz).

Safety buffers can be adjusted through TC Near Control Panel. You can choose between normal and safe modes 1, 2 and 3. Normal is the lowest setting that allows minimal round trip latency.

Ease of use 10/10

This is where this Konnekt really shines. On a desk it's more like a mixer with its meter, buttons and knobs located on its slightly angled top. It offers fantastic access to its functions and after only few days of using it I can't even think of going back to a classic interface with everything located on its side. What I exceptionally like about Desktop Konnekt 6 are that big volume knob with a backlight and output dim button. Switching to headphones couldn't be quicker. Instead of the usual direct monitor level control there's a smart input/daw balance knob. That's brilliant. High resolution meter can be used to monitor input and output (pre and post volume) levels. In addition there are signal/clip indicators located just by gain knobs. There's another knob for controlling reverb which can be mixed in for tracking.

TC Near Control Panel

The new 1394 bus driver tries to use asynchronous block transactions at faster bus speeds to retrieve the contents of a node's configuration ROM. The legacy 1394 bus driver uses asynchronous quadlet reads at S100 speed—or 100 megabits per second (Mbps). Drivers softhard 1394. Button, point the directory to where 1394Camera.inf is stored (e.g. C:Program FilesCMU1394Cameradriver). Ignore the warnings about the driver not being digitally signed or that windows can't be sure the driver will work. This section provides installation information, specific to IEEE 1394 device drivers in Microsoft Windows 2000 and later operating systems. Vendors supplying their own IEEE 1394 device driver should make that driver a member of the Base setup class in the INF Version Section of the driver's INF file. MathWorks provides an adapter to the CMU 1394 Digital Camera driver as part of their Image Acquisition Toolkit to allow developers quick and easy access to images from firewire cameras within the MATLAB environment. Known issues and limitations.

Price 8/10

Desktop Konnekt 6 is a well designed product. It's reliable, functional and it sounds great, too.
