Komplete Audio 6 Mk1 vs Mk 2

adrian dix

Hi

I am using a Komplete Audio 6 Mk1 at the moment.

Is there any advantage in buying a Mk 2 now that we have windows 11 ?

Does the Mk 2 have a lower latency ?

Here is a good answer for you:

"Native Instruments’ KA6 Mk2 is undoubtedly a step up from the original unit, the Komplete Audio 6, which only had a maximum sample rate of 96 kHz. The interface is now capable of recording up to 192 kHz at 24-bits, which should be a huge sigh of relief for anybody working in film or gaming.

The original model (Mk1) was limited – best suitable for hobbyists or lo-fi bedroom artists in need of a mic input or two. But on Mk2, Native Instruments has been able to re-imagine the KA6 in such a way, that the unit is now a totally viable option for professional producers. Producers and DJs can plan to utilize it during live performances as well, which simply wasn’t possible before."

Windows 10 drivers will work on Windows 11.

Thanks

I'm more interested in the latency and working with the latest Windows version.

It doesn't seem to say anything about that

"In terms of latency, from the buffer size menu, you can select all the way down to an almost mythical 8 samples. Most interfaces rarely give you an option below 32 samples".

Be nice to get N.I drivers for Windows 11
