How to use multiple K683A on one computer?
It's recommended to get K669C condenser mics instead, which have an XLR port to work with a multi-channel audio mixer. And it's a much easier way to use more than one mic simultaneously.
You can also have a try. Basically, for Windows users, you just need to download an app called VoiceMeter Banana. If you use a Mac, just create an aggregated device by using the MIDI Audio setup. But you can still follow our blog to have a try or take a quick look here: How to Use Multiple Microphones on One Computer.
Windows
For Windows, we suggest you do it via VoiceMeeter Banana or ASIO4ALL.
VoiceMeeter Banana allows 3 inputs at most, but you cannot separate the recording tracks. ASIO4ALL, which has no limitation on the number of inputs, is only accessible on some of the recording software, such as FL Studio.
VoiceMeeter Banana
Open the Voice Meeter, select different microphones under different “Hardware Input” channels.
Click on a recording program, under preferences, choose the Voice Meeter as the input source.
ASIO4ALL
Open up DAW, go to its preferences. Set the audio device to ASIO and ASIO4All v2.
Open up the ASIO4ALL panel (you can find the ASIO4ALL driver in the right corner of the computer). In the panel, you need to click to activate the little power buttons beside the USB mics that you are going to use.
Start a new track. Hit the record, you are up and running with multiple mics at the same time now.
Mac
For Mac, use MIDI Audio Setup:
Open the “Audio MIDI Setup”, create your own “Aggregate Device” list by clicking the checkbox of all the "USB PnP Audio Device" under the "IN' list.
Go to “Garageband”, check out the “Preferences”, and you will want the “Audio Input” to be the “Aggregate Device” that you have just created.
Click the plus button to add a new track. A menu will pop up, just select an input that is marked as "input+one figure" (one figure represents a mono microphone; two figures for a stereo microphone), such as "input 1".
Create another track and choose an input different from the first one, such as "input 2". Now two tracks are set and ready to go.
To make sure that you can pause the recording of any one of the mics separately, you need a recording button for each microphone track. Click “Track” < “Track Header” < “Show record enable button”. Then click on these buttons on each track, and they will flash a red light.
