Komplete Audio 1 has a microphone and instrument input, making it especially suitable for making mono recordings - for example, vocals and guitar. On the back there is a pair of RCA connectors, so you can easily connect the card to, for example, a home hi-fi system. There is also a phantom power supply for use with professional condenser microphones.
Both cards offer two inputs, a VU-meter and a large volume control for precise input level adjustment as well as a headphone amplifier with its own volume control. Recording can be taken at up to 192 kHz/24 bit quality and, of course, there is also direct monitoring to mix the input signal with the computer backing. Just connect the card to your computer via USB and you're recording.
The bundled software package includes the popular Ableton Live Lite 10 recording program, Monark analog synthesizer emulation, 3 studio effects (delay, phaser, compressor), Machine Essentials virtual groovebox and Komplete Start sound selector. You'll also get access to the Sounds.com music library for two months, which contains over a million samples and loops that can serve as the cornerstone for your own compositions.
