About Boss GKC-AD

Just imagine the possibilities with the GKC-AD Analog to Digital Converter, a durable and high-quality device designed to revolutionize your audio experience. This portable and easy-to-use converter is engineered to transform analog audio signals into digital format, making it an essential tool for musicians, producers, and audio professionals.

The GKC-AD Converter is compatible with a broad spectrum of devices, including cameras, microphones, and musical instruments. This versatility makes it a standout choice for various applications, from recording studios to live performances.

This converter is specifically designed to drive the next-generation Serial GK interface from a Roland GK-3 or GK-3B Divided Pickup.

In essence, the GKC-AD Analog to Digital Converter is not just a device; it's your gateway to a world of superior sound quality and professional audio production.
