Four DC-coupled 1/4" outputs are on hand to accommodate connecting monitors or CV-controllable synthesizers. Dedicated level controls for outputs 1-2 and the two headphone jacks enable convenient listening through your favorite active speakers and stereo headphones. The direct monitoring function utilizes a mix knob to allow zero-latency monitoring during recording, a custom blend of input and playback signals for overdubbing, or monitoring just the playback for mixing. The direct monitoring section also has switches for mono/stereo mode and source selection.The USB 2.0 bus-powered KOMPLETE AUDIO 6 Mk2 is compatible with macOS and Windows 10 systems, and includes a robust software collection with instruments, effects, samples, loops, production apps, and more.
