Near perfect Bargain
Peter Holland 25.10.2021
When I bought the Komplete, it came with a nice bonus software package from Native Instruments, along with Ableton lite. The software only is worth the price paid, and then you get the Komplete too! The housing is plastic, but do not be fooled: it will hold well and feels sturdy. The looks are good, There is the option of connecting your processed sound back from computer to your audio system through cinch. All works flawlessly and without any perceptible hum or hiss.
There is very little lag, nothing you couldn't get used to anyway.
Overall this little device exceeds my expectations. After using it for about a year now I can safely say it is worth more than its price. Way to go Native Instruments! And as usual thanks to Thomann for speedy delivery :-)

Very satisfied
Emplexx 16.04.2021
The main reason why I decided to get an interface was because I needed a 6.3 inch audio-in to connect my guitar to for recording purposes, and this one does the job.

Pros:
The input-host fader knob is extremely useful, and so are the blue meters for input audio on top of the interface. The build quality feels great, the interface is small, lightweight and looks good. I also liked the packaging of it.

Cons:
Honestly - no negative thoughts about this product. The biggest con was probably the aforementioned input-host knob being turned all the way to the "input" side out of the box, which had me a bit confused at first, like "why can't I hear the sound coming from my PC?".

Easy to setup. Good sound but the case is a bit fragil ( plastic).

Can't go wrong
Akseli 03.10.2021
To clarify, I use this mostly as a secondary interface for on-the-go audio work. For this purpose the interface has been perfect. It's small and portable, easy to use and elegant in its design. No complaints so far in couple of years use.

LG
Product of Berlin
Lahdo Gorieh, Lahdo 19.06.2022
I purchased this sound interface& got so many plugins gifted to it.

I received Ableton Live 10 Lite, Machine Essentials, Monark, Replica, Phasis, Solid Bus Comp& what I was stunned about even if it was not mentioned even Traktor DJ& Guitar Rig!

The USB audio interface Native Instruments Komplete Audio 1 has 24-Bit/ 192 kHz (Studio Quality), and you also have the possibility to set the kHz down to CD/DVD quality and so on.

The sound interface is mono, with 1 microphone line& one instrument line.

So it's even great for artists who want to sing& capture their instrument for the example given their guitar.

As a German language resident for me, it is important to support Native Instruments products.

It's so great that you can see the volume and direct monitoring mix controls as an LED on the sound interface.

So you always can watch out if your input is over-controlling with the volume.

Best greetings,

Perfect for what it is!
ruairinik 18.09.2024
This interface is perfect as a highly portable, super easy to setup and use interface. I didn't appreciate quite how easy to use it was until I used other interfaces and would get stuck on the basics. The huge knob for controlling the volume of main output speakers is a big plus - giving a real satisfying feeling of tactile control. The other knobs for the gain and headphone volume are okay too, although over time have started to degrade causing some clicks and rustles in the sound. Sometimes I need to give the microphone gain knob a wriggle before it will pick up the signal as it is meant to - HOWEVER I've been using this for several years and it has been taken with me everywhere, gotten wet, been dropped hundreds of times and it still works. So definitely a sturdy, practical, affordable interface option which does everything a focusrite can do and more!

Better than expected
Vinko P. 07.06.2020
As many others, I was considering either NA Komplete Audio 1 or Fucusrite Scarlett Solo interfaces. Decided to go with this one mostly because of the big volume knob, and headphones monitoring fader, vs the direct monitoring on/off button on the Scarlett. Some reviewers noted that volume from the headphones output is too low - I didn't notice this, even with 250 Ohm headphones.
Latency is excellent (very low) - microphone amp: excellent - build quality is actually quite good, despite it being all plastic.
The only feature missing is balanced outputs.

Delivers what is promised
iguatemi 27.05.2020
After using this interface for more than a month, I can say this is a great product. The drivers are stable and the latency is low.

The preamps are actually very good for the price range. Quiet and clear, you have a decent headroom when pushing it.

This is my new mobile go-to. It is all made of plastic, but a very sturdy one. The form factor is small, so it fits the desk really well.

You can't make a mistake getting this interface.

Sound Reflexive Theory
MinimizedPerformer 28.09.2020
Not an RME ,clarity and dynamics are the main features in the sound reflexive theory.I wouldn't trade it even though compared to the features on the market I could develop a much complex work flow around it.Maschine's have a specific sound that make a perfect choice for a home studio...I could balance on the Stanton Finalscratch and maintain the perfect track equilibrium.On the downsize the INST has a major Windows driver issue when recording in the Maschine 2,my setup is dependable on the stereo input.

Nice if you looking for simple interface
Mac R. 17.11.2019
I occasionally record spoken words only. I was looking for something simple and cost efficient. Komplete Audio works really well with my iMac, no technical issues. Looks good on the desk, too.
