Description
The Lewitt Connect 6 is a professional-grade USB-C audio interface that is highly regarded for its unique and powerful feature set, particularly for content creators, live streamers, and podcasters. It goes far beyond a typical audio interface by integrating a full-fledged digital mixer and advanced routing capabilities.
Key Features and Highlights:
- Dual USB-C Connectivity: This is a standout feature. The Connect 6 has two USB-C ports. One connects to your computer (Mac or Windows), and the other connects to a mobile device (iPhone, iPad, or Android). This allows you to simultaneously record or stream a high-quality audio mix from both your computer and your phone, and it even charges your phone while it’s connected.
- Studio-Grade Preamps: The interface is equipped with two of Lewitt’s high-quality, ultra-low-noise preamps. With a massive 72 dB of gain, they can power even gain-hungry microphones like the Shure SM7B without the need for an external preamplifier, ensuring a clean and professional signal.
- Onboard DSP Processing: The Connect 6 has a powerful DSP chip that handles audio processing, which means you can apply effects with zero latency and without taxing your computer’s CPU. The DSP includes features like:
- Auto Setup: Automatically sets the optimal gain and other settings for your voice or instrument.
- Maximizer: A one-knob mastering tool to ensure your audio is loud and clear for streaming.
- Compressor and Denoiser: Professional-grade effects to polish your sound and reduce background noise.
- Powerful Digital Mixer with Lewitt Control Center: The heart of the Connect 6 is its software, the Lewitt Control Center. This intuitive mixer application allows you to create two independent stereo mixes. You can combine hardware inputs (mics, instruments), software channels (audio from your computer), and loopback channels to create custom mixes for your headphones, your live stream, or your recording.
- Flexible I/O and Headphone Outputs: The unit offers a versatile array of connections:
- 2 x XLR/Line combo jacks for microphones and instruments.
- 2 x balanced 1/4″ TRS outputs for studio monitors.
- 2 x independent headphone outputs (one 1/4″ and one 3.5mm), each with its own volume control, allowing a host and guest to have their own individual mixes.
- 1 x 3.5mm Aux input for connecting additional devices like a synthesizer or an external music player.
- Loopback Functionality: A robust loopback channel is built-in, making it easy to capture audio from your computer’s applications (such as a game, Spotify, or a video call) and include it in your live stream or recording.
