Audio Interface for Kemper

  • Update: I think i'm gonna go with the Apogee Elements 24. My main issue was the headphone output with the 8i6 and others - although the Spdif socket are tempting.


    I looked at the Universal Audio stuff, the Arrow required Thunderbolt 3 and the Twin is expensive and potentially a gateway in to more plugin purchases.


    The Apogee duet was ideal in form factor and portability but it has been improved on by the Elements 24 - better headphone and improved dynamic range in the A/d converters.


    I just want to recorder my Kemper as I hear it through headphones. Very simple but with high quality. The Elements 24 will give me that and as I can control it via the IOS App - via wifi - I can hide it away and keep my limited space clear. It also can do SPDIF via an optical/SPDIF converter. Also, its sit at a price range in between the Scarlett 8i6 and the Apollo.



  • Don't forget you need a high quality headphone too. Maybe you alreday have that?

    I’ve got Audio Technica ath-m50x‘s. They sound pretty good to me but there are many levels of quality in all equipment. Do you think these would utilise the potential of the interface?

  • I don't know I have zero experince with those headphones. Only you can judge if they please you or not. If not, open this thread again or start a new.

    They are fine phones, I like them a lot more for listening than monitoring, but they got quality for the price. They arent the flattest, but still balanced enough to have a real idea of how your rig sound. Audios interfaces come and go, in the end you might buy a preamp for vocals, compressors, but to be fair, a clean and fine interface will last you years until you require something else. Good luck and enjoy.
