Thanks so much for this epic review, James & Mark!!!! Please let us know if anyone here has any questions
I have questions!!!
I’ll see myself out 😂
Are there any plans for a larger version? I was super excited to see this come out but had to go with a different option to get the 4 balanced input channels my synth setup needed. I would absolutely love to see this in something like an 8x8 rack version!
@@steven_porter mmm 8 by version 😋
Hi @LEWITT,
Doesn't it have an instrument input for guitars? (it says "Instrument" on the smart setup screen, hence I'm surprised it doesn't have at least a single Hi-Z input) Was it a deliberate decision?
Thanks and take care!
Need moar big pls help
Lewitt devices all look as if they were grown in a Borg cube.
I see style hits from the star destroyers we built on Kuat man that was a bit shipyard…. Wait what?
Forget the DI-Box and build your own impedence converter directly into your guitar. The TL072 is cheap and does the job just fine.
Great review....completely user friendly and forward thinking that's exactly what anyone working in a studio needs, well done Lewitt once again! Thanks guys!
Thank for a excellent well informative documentary
Very funny guys! 😂 Btw the Connect6 has really a Darth Vader look
What I really want to see is a pair of Lewitt headphones TBH. Another great review!

I thought about this as an on-the-road interface. I've heard - not from your review - that the box holds it's settings even when it is unplugged from the computer. Since it's already doing A->D conversion why not supply a simple transport and an SD slot? Then you could really take IT and just IT on the road. Looking forward to it's slightly bigger brother.
It does indeed hold its settings when unplugged!
Good shout, I’m sure @LEWITT may want to read
Great review. 👍
I started my home studio adventure about 18months ago... and the first 3 mics I purcahsed where Lewitts. The 340, 440 and 240 and they are still the only mics I use... I am saving up for a few more at the moment and I don't see why I should go elsewhere. Thanks Lewitt and great reviews as always guys!
Love your videos! Thanks so much for creating another masterpiece :)
I wonder how long until ATMOS will become such a standard that there’ll be budget ATMOS interfaces
While the software looks impressive I personally feel its such a missed opportunity to not have a high impedance input on a modern day interface there were some good options too, a toggle switch, the software asking you if you are playing an instrument or a whole seperate input.
To anyone getting into the game, shelling out money for a DI box is a bit of a waste. You need to get the interface, cables, a DAW, and some other plugins here and there such as amp sims, drum simulation, mic stands possibly a new computer or upgrades.
This interface may not be the best choice for a bedroom musician with some of the other options out there, but this looks like a good choice for people who only work with some kind of vocal audio.
I was going to leave a stupid comment, but decided otherwise.
This seems to be a nice piece of kit and great for streamers, content creators, or single musicians. Also a fair review and I do not doubt that you've would have told us, if it sucked.
The only thing I'd like to see on these interfaces is a way to extend them. If you're a windows user and need a third low latency input you can basically sell these things and start right over again. Not a complain to Lewitt, more so to the entire market. Daisychaining can't be that hard.
I know it's not a fair comparison for the price, but RME lets Windows users like me connect multiple interfaces and use the total channel count as if it were one big one. I currently have a UFX II but I could, for example, add a UFX+ and get something crazy like 124 channels in and out (30x30 on my UFX II plus 94x94 on the +) just using the regular RME driver. I believe Motu does this too
@@steven_porter i had a babyface rme pro , great for the drivers but hated the sound coming out of it, it was really thin and sterile but not flat.
No line in killed it for me. This wouldve been the perfect under 300 dollar interface
Funny enough i hated the design at first but now starts to like it as well smh, lewitt is always doing quality products indeed.
Question for you guys, how the a/d converters sound on this going to the speakers ?
So when is the 4-channel interface coming?
can you review Neve 88M USB Audio Interface?
Feature set is very interesting. Industrial design is YIKES. That new Avid desktop interface is almost as bad in this regard, but at least it's fairly symmetrical.
Hey Ant! I actually really like the design, but appreciate it’s probably a bit like Marmite! I think it will appeal to podcasters and live streamers more than it will musicians (and maybe that’s the intention with the lack of a hi-z input?) but I really like the fresh approach.
I love Lewitt mics and own several, the LCT 140 Air matched pair are unbelievably good and were recommended by Marc and for that he has my enduring gratitude. I like every interview I have seen with the company, they strike me as a great outfit, committed people who have genuinely caused sleepless nights for the dinosaurs. I'm a fan of such troublemakers.
I was pretty excited about this interface as I want to add a bus powered interface for recording away from the studio. Sadly I have been asking Lewitt the dynamic range ADC and DAC for the unit since last Friday and have received only delaying responses on email and social. Frustrating as I am quite well motivated to get one but not before I know the stats I am waiting for.
Hello Trevor, thank you for your comment. As you already know from our discussion on Facebook, we have forwarded the question to our product management team - they are currently converting their measurements to AES standard. They are going to provide you with the data you've requested in the next day or so. Due to high volume of support questions related to the release, our replies might be slower than usual, which we apologize for. We ask you for a little bit more patience.
Good news! Just got the data in for dynamic range. Mic inputs: 100 db A weighted, Aux Input: 103 dB A weighted, Speaker Output: 104 dB A weighted, HP Outputs: 105 dB A weighted
@@LEWITT-audio Thank you so much guys.
Looks like something the would be in K.I.T.T. !
No adat? What a pitty... (just to piss off Mark 😆)
If we're judging it by looks it is dreadful!
Hi, when you configure the DSP after powering up and connecting can the device be powered down and run in a pre-set state. Or does it need to have the software connected at every session for the on board DSPs to function. ? Thanks
It can run standalone once it’s set up
Seeing as it can be powered via USB C, can it be used with a powerbank as a location recording preamp, along with a tablet or laptop?
Yeah!
@@PresentDayProduction The mobile interview/podcast studio is shrinking by the day. Most of the weight is the spare powerbanks, just like a compact location video rig.
So is the DSP all in the software using CPU on the computer, or does it use the hardware in the unit? I definitely expect the former, but just curious.
DSP is in the hardware. Software app just controls it. When you disconnect from a computer, you settings will be retained and you can even use the DSP effects on the interface standalone with a mobile device only.
I need somthihg I can make videos with studio and multiple inputs for vocals synthesizer and guitar please let me know I can't belive that I can't find a thing to help me
Looks awesome. The all-white level LEDs seem an odd choice to me. I see no scale and no colours to let you know if you're getting close to saturation?
That’s why the software is super useful - I agree having some red at the top of the scale may be useful but the amount of time you’d be using this without a screen is almost zero anyway
That was my first reaction too. I ended up getting a Motu M4 largely because the meters are just wonderful. All 8 channels are on screen with full color meters. I only wish it showed a dB scale, but it's worked just fine for my home setup.
@@PresentDayProduction They could simply add it in the firmware, there is a red/green led in the 1/2 input. Just have it flash red when it clips if the led is green or flash green if it clips if the led is red. Sorted.
Yes I forgot to mention the input one and two LED’s go red and green. I was just focussed on the aforementioned all-white VU meters
@@PresentDayProduction Are white LED's the blue LED's of modern days? Purple should be the next trend purple and pink.
"Does the world really need this" ?
NO
But ill still watch for the quality , engaging and humours takes , no matter....
So.. 0:35 in... and on with the show.
Hello all
wow
Nice thumbnail 🤘🏽
Agreed! I think it is the coolest Thumbnail I have seen in a while!
@@valerie98 😂👏🏽👏🏽 cats are fun creatures, they were once worshiped as gods, they still act like it. Not the easiest creature to put a class 4 life support mask on , kudos to the photographer whom I sure received quite a scratching preparing this .
Wait what super impose mean?
Have a great week Valerie
Whys this thing giving me Sega vibes
I don't see where we are supposed to plug the controllers in? And where do the cartridges go?
Because it looks terribly out of date? Even a Megadrive looks better than that!
I love how accessible all this technology is making the world of audio and production but I can’t help but think features like AI based auto-gain are creating a new generation of clueless engineers who can’t even complete the most basic of tasks without the assistance of an app. Why bother learning to gain stage if an interface does it all for you? This is just the top of the iceberg too. MIDI chord packs, Soothe2, iZotope master assistant…
Sing... Talk... Play An Instrument... all very well, but where’s the setting for the grumbling testily in a croaky old unmusical pseudo-crap-rapping monologue, which one requires to record, personally?
I preferred the earlier Connect 4, ‘cause you could play a disc-based game with it, as well. Though, I suppose being given a massive thumbs-up should make anyone happy.
I love this channel...... But for the first time, I've just got to go hmm...
"Things that make you go Hmmmmmm"
A good quality (hiZ) Di box AINT CHEAP... can cost as much as a cheap I/O.. hell, even a good chunk off cash compared to this I/O....
At least have some bad Hi Z inputs.... And thats when you question, how bad is bad?
Convertors and shitty DI's today can be considered HQ....And a luxury a few decades ago......
25 quid will get you a perfectly usable Behringer DI box. If money is a problem.
@@ferociousmullet9287 And for that reason not to have a Hi-Z input on a portable Audio Interface is beyond my comprehension.
@@Rhythmattica Because when you are designing a product you have to draw a line somewhere, function creep is a thing. Also, whilst Big B might well be able to build and ship a transformer based DI box for 25 quid, Lewitt probably would not be able to due to economies of scale. Big B is probably winding its own transformers for peanuts. Lewitt would have to outsource and that would cost more. It is never as simple as we would like it to be. You can be very sure they left this feature off for a valid reason. Yes, they could also implement something like it with an opamp and some supporting circuitry for not much money, but again we are back to having to draw the line somewhere in order to hit a price point. And it might not perform as well as they would like...... I get your position, I really do. But having been involved in product design and the like, I get why that feature probably did not make the cut.
@@ferociousmullet9287 Im just saying, the market and design functionality (a portable Audio i/o) , manufacturing cost or not, Its a big enough missing feature that many others do employ.
Its surrounded by many competent interfaces with a Hi-Z input.
Maybe you'll just accept that as my opinion. No Prob.
It kinda looks like its for people who don't like technology and need an assistant to set up a simple input. Plus, no Dante.
Why would you expect an entry level interface to have Dante? You can always run VSC if you need Dante. I think this is a pretty fantastic product for a beginner to get started easily and then take over with manual controls when they're ready. If it lets a musician with zero pro audio knowledge get recording quickly, that's a pretty great tool.
