Can I use my Komplete Audio 6 Mark 1 for Quadraphonic audio playback?

Jakfrostishere

Hi there - I am creating a quadraphonic project in Logic Pro 10.7.9 on a 2018 2.6ghz i7 Macbook Pro to send pre-recorded sounds through a four-speaker P.A. I want to use my NI Komplete Audio 6 Mark 1 audio interface. Can I use the four outputs for quadrophonic playback?

Many thanks in advance.

That should work OK. It's actually mentioned in the manual that 3/4 can be used for surround playback so I don't see a problem as long as Logic sees all four outputs.

(4) MAIN outputs 1/2: The MAIN 1/2 outs are balanced outputs. Normally, these are coupled to a mixer, mixing board, or active speakers via 1/4" jacks. However, you can also use RCA (phono) cables with suitable 1/4" jack adapters.

(5) Outputs 3/4: The OUT 3/4 sockets are balanced outputs. They offer the option of additional outputs when setting up 4-channel applications, such as surround sound.

You can even go for a quadrophonic setup with the Audio & MIDI setup of your Mac, found in Applications → Utilities
