Top critical review
1.0 out of 5 starsNot enough gain, terrible warranty
Reviewed in Canada on February 5, 2021
I bought the KA1 audio interface in March and it went defective 4 months later. While it worked the audio quality was good when recording. No issues there. One thing I disliked alot was there wasn't enough gain to power my headphones. If you like to listen to loud music, play your guitar or bass thru headphones, I'd suggest looking elsewhere.
The biggest issue for me though is the warranty. The unit started making terrible distortion when playing in "input mode". Native instruments said the hardware failed and their solution if to replace it with a refurbished.... I paid for a brand new audio interface, not a discounted refurbished, so I expect to have something new.
Do yourself a favor and pay the few dollars more to get a Focusrite interface instead. I regret not getting a Focusrite from the beginning.
