They have returned to HS Towers, tired and weary, khakis ripped and pith helmets slightly the worse for wear, from an arduous expedition in the far east. There, they discovered an ancient machine buried deep in a derelict temple in the Kunlun mountain range of the Tibetan plateau.

Some features:

- 48kHz/24-bit
- Tibetan bowl samples
- Each sample individually editable with...
- Multi-wave LFO
- Multi-mode 2-pole/4-pole filter
- Two envelope shapers
- Distortion, bit crusher and sample rate reducer
- EQ, chorus, phaser, flanger and echo multi-FX
- Convolved reverb featuring a wide range of impulses

The microphones KMS 104 D and KMS 105 D are the transition of the well-established KMS 104/105 analog microphones into the digital domain. Based on the AES42 standard, these microphones are an ideal choice for live and on-stage applications.

They provide all of the features of their analog counterparts. Additionally, they offer the advantages of the digital circuit technology, such as extended dynamic range, a more robust operation (EMC safe) and the avoidance of clipping as a result of the integrated peak limiter/ compressor.
