Lewitt Connect 6 Interface Review / Walkthrough / Explained

Software Walkthrough: • Lewitt Connect 6 Contr...
Today I walkthrough, explain, test and review the new Lewitt audio interface which has DSP processing, I compare it to the Focusrite 18i20, I test the SM7b on this interface, play instruments on the D.I. inputs and walk through all the processing.
Note1: The GUI in the software is not choppy like that in use. It is only choppy like that in the demo because my computer is old and struggles with screen recording.
Note2: The mobile connection does not have an automatic mix minus, in order to achieve this you would need to send mix A or B to the mobile output, and then shut off the mobile input audio for that mix. This will eliminate any loopback to the mobile device.

Outstanding review! I'm not sure if I missed it in the video but I want to mention that besides a lack of physical mute, there is also no way to turn the volume of the monitors and headphones all the way down without the software. If you turn the dial all the way down, your monitors and headphones will still output a conversational level of audio (depending on the level of the input). Surprisingly, the single dial didn't bother me as much as I thought it would but I still like a physical mute too. I'm waiting for this bug to be addressed before I make a review too.

Interesting that Americans are aware that their stereotype is "too high energy and obnoxious". But the stereotype isn't what Bandrew usually is like, instead it's more being inappropriately friendly and excited,. As a cold and sober German, I don't want strangers to talk to me as if we're super duper close friends. Yuck. And the "I'm so excited about this" attitude always seems painfully fake. That's why I like this channel, the enthusiasm is down to earth and believable.

Thank you so much for the support Rainer, as always I appreciate it so much. It has a specific target audience, and if I had realized this prior to publishing the video I would have pointed it out...it's like a beefed up version of the Elgato Wave XLR. For some people it's going to be exactly what they're looking for and it'll fit into their workflow. For many others, the shortcomings are going to be too much to overcome.

Great video Bandrew! I agree with you, I like the idea of this interface and it is a great addition to the market. It would be great for me in my scenario for streaming games and casually chatting with my friends on discord, but I wouldn’t personally get it because of the poor line in inputs and no Hi-Z on the line in inputs. I play my guitar regularly through my audio interface on my PC using guitar tone simulators, and this interface doesn’t seem to compete with my Audient Evo 8 in terms of music capability. So personally I wouldn’t switch from my Evo 8 to this interface even for the DSP processing.

For my purposes, the only big downside to this interface is the lack of a physical mute button. Everything else is tailor made. The DSP features on offer here are finally enough to make me want to migrate way from my GoXLR Mini. Then again...I do still have the good ole Rolls MicSwitch that I previously used for muting back when I used the Scarlett Focusrite Solo...I could totally just dust that thing off 😎. I think all I want for Christmas is a Lewitt Connect 6 🎅🎄😉.

Great review, thanks! The line in part was super useful, I found something similar on the Rødecaster Pro II when using the SE Dynacaster > dbx286s (for the expander…) > RCP2. Same thing there, there seems to be very little headroom: it clipped very easily despite adequate levels. Lowering the output on the dbx solved it though.
@Podcastage Жыл бұрын
Yeah that line in test is going to be new on all my reviews going forward, and the comparison to the 18i20 will be in all of them too because if an interface can't beat a 5 year old entry level interface preamp then...ruh roh.

PSA for anyone researching budget interfaces: Presonus Revelator io24 has as good or better software/DSP capabilities at literally half the price, a metal casing, hi-z inputs, and a pretty nice iPadOS app that essentially mirrors/controls what's going on on the PC. io24 lacks the direct phone port and, while the preamps aren't bad, if you have a gain-hungry mic, you may need a fethead or cloudlifter (which would negate some of the cost savings). imo, io24 offers best interface features for the price.

What’s the best, yet affordable microphone & interface for connecting to my pc to use for recording vocals? I’ve had a few condenser mics but I’ve never really used them, I’ve always been a usb mic kind of feller. I’m currently using the Samson c01U Pro mic & it’s doing me well but I want to convert to condenser mics. I’m sitting here messing with this cheap old condenser mic & phantom power supply that I bought years ago & cost me around 20 bucks & it’s way too much static in it & it’s so annoying.
@Podcastage Жыл бұрын
There are plenty of good interfaces. Once you hit around $100 most of them sound pretty good too. Focusrite Scarlett, Native Instruments stuff, Arturia Minifuse. Then you have Universal Audio Volt, SSL 2/2+, Motu M2/M4, etc. The interface listed all sound pretty darn good and it really comes down to what feature set you need. That's something I can't answer for you.

I purchased the Lewitt Connect 6, but could never get it to work on my PC. I am unsure if was supposed to be plug-&-play (in which case it failed), or if they expected me to go into the BIOS and disable the integrated audio on my motherboard. And if that's the case, then why didn't it come with instructions to do so?

This isn't a plug and play device. It requires additional software which you download from their site, but to my knowledge you shouldn't need to go into your bios and disable your mother board audio. Sorry to hear it didn't work for ya.

Or do you have to choose which computer is in control of the interface and which one just receives whatever settings the "master" has set?

That sounds like a problem with the device. First thing I'd try is restarting the computer to make sure everything is functioning on that end. Then I'd try a different usb port on the computer to make sure it's working. Then if it's still not working, I'd try a different USB cable. If it's still not working, then I'd contact Lewitt because something is wrong if your computer doesn't even recognize the device. It require any actions for the device to be recognized. Good luck, sorry I can't be more help.
