    Hi Aiden, thx for the review. Just for clarification
    1. The Zero Ohm headphone output - The low output impedance is to maintain the natural frequency response of low-impedance headphones. With the high impedance mode, you keep the low output impedance, but you simply have more power on tap to drive your studio headphones.
    2. There a few people experiencing non-ideal behaviour with the scroll wheel, but we are already working on fixing this with a firmware update.
    3. Gain clicks- This phenomenon occurs with most digitally controlled analog preamps (in different intensities), so with CONNECT 2 you can run Autosetup first to find the ideal gain, (so you don’t need to adjust it while recording 😉), and activate Clipguard to ensure you can’t ruin your recording via clipping.

    • @sxbarral
      @sxbarral Місяць тому +4

      3 is still a party pooper. It should be possible to adjust gain while recording without artifacts like those. Maybe via a smoother ramp up over a short period of time instead of discrete steps being sent to the preamp?

      @@sxbarral Exactly... I don't buy it - "this occurs with most digitally controlled analog preamps". But you, @LEWITT-audio, are so proud of this "high-tech" piece of gear, so it SHOULD be better than "most preamps". right? ;) Sorry, but such an explanation is childish in my opinion.

    So I myself wanted to review this..I hear your gripe but what I would have loved to see are the 3 virtual channels like the connect 6! The connect 6 is a great little 2 input setup unlike other products. This too could take that niche. Having all it has and virtual outputs. This definitely could be added in a firmware.

    Physical buttons and knobs would have helped the usability issues. My smart phone still has physical buttons at the bottom. I think this is an issue where 'cool and flashy' is a substitute for 'cheaper than including physical controls', with usability at the expense. Decades ago, digital dashboards on cars were a luxury item because the displays and electronics were more expensive (remember, no cheap or good LCDs or LEDs). Now cheap cars have them because digital screens are less expensive to make and wire than physical panels and needles.
    It's short on gain, but it does make me appreciate the quick reach and controls on something like the Yamaha AG03

    Hmmmm just read their comment Aden. Well hopefully the scrolling is fixed. As to the ADC clicking hmmm yeah just use auto gane control and clip safe thingy they say.
    I'll leav this to the ADC experts. It sounds real cool other wize.
    Do you have an NT1 at hand? How does it sound with that? Remember my studio refrence is Sound-Devices 744-T with an NT1-A.

    Clipping with lowest gain setting with guitar humbuckers is a common problem with almost most of available interfaces, and also with Connect 2! And for 100% sure this will and can not get fixed. This interface is "out" for me due to this reason! I tried plenty of IFs, and finally got stuck with the Apogee Jam+, which makes the guitar job for me. Yes, it makes noise when touching or moving it, but it can handle also high output humbuckers well, and that's important to me! So "Lewitt" get back to your computers, and make a better job, building an interface that really can handle actual pickup models well!
