Not a fan of the one-knob-does-everything user interface and as a Linux user I suspect the software won't work for me. Other than that, this looks like a killer combination of features. If I was a Windows/Apple user in the market for a streaming-type device this would be at or near the top of the list. I would like to see a limiter (and maybe some effects like reverb and distortion) added to the features but maybe that'll be in a future firmware update. BTW you should definitely do a Hindenburg review.
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
I also kind of despise the one knob...push to cycle stuff ...it's why I moved away from the elgato interface and the presonus. Kind of a deal breaker for me...not sure why it annoys me so much
Is it possible to switch monitoring between near field monitors plugged in via the LR Line outputs and a small single commercial speaker plugged in via the mini R/L out? I can get audio monitoring in both the near fields and the mini speaker, but it necessitates unplugging the line outs from the back of the unit to get audio to the mini speaker. Is there a switch monitor feature I am missing? Thanks.
Sadly, it would be the same situation for you with this interface. You’d need to unplug the LR and plug in the 3.5mm stereo out and vice versa. They are controlled together. I would have absolutely loved if they were separate from each other.
@@AudioHotline Thanks. Yeah, what a shame. Seems like such a simple thing to incorporate into it, I'm surprised as it seems like it would only make it more attractive. I'm probably going to return mine, as it was a feature I thought it had.
Clip guard was introduced with the Lewitt Connect 2. I am not positive if Lewitt will add that functionality through firmware for the Connect 6 or if that is even possible for the 6. As of right now, the Lewitt Connect 6 doesn't have anything like that. However, the processing is way more customizable on the Connect 6. The compressor on the 6 will help even out your levels, but yeah there is no clip guard.
For a voice over, podcast and other recorded vocals..not live streaming or music stuff .. for max 2 mics input need which is the best interface under 300 ..lewitt 6 or audient id14 or ssl2 or motu M2 ?
I don't know which interface you went with, but I have the Motu M4 and it is pretty barebones. There is no software apart from the driver with basic settings like buffer size and sample rate. Gain is barely enough for something like an SM7B. The headphone jack is great and it is actually the main reason I bought the Motu a couple of years ago, but I'm using a dedicated headphone amp now anyway. I wanted something better with DSP effects that could be fully controlled via software, so I ordered the Lewitt today.
They initially talked about sending it to me, but I haven't heard anything about it recently. Maybe I'll follow up with them. It isn't currently in the review pile, but I am sure it will be in the near future. In the meantime here is a review from a guy/channel that I trust a lot (in case you don't already watch him). Obscure Mics: czcams.com/video/s_5Um8xj2Uo/video.html
I think the reason I personally like the look of it is just simply due to the fact that there is a uniqueness to this interface. It doesn’t look like the average interface and I find that appealing. Initially I was on the fence though, I was maybe even leaning toward not liking the look. HOWEVER, I do think the design choice was an absolute risk, because I do feel like a lot of people will probably agree with you.
@@rudyabel4877 🤣 yeah, there was a period I was sick a lot but I tried to record through it. I can hear what you mean. I am surprised no one else has said anything… but I am glad 😂
Thanks checking out CONNECT 6 and for putting together such a great informative video!
I just bought the Vocaster 2 to go with Lewitt 240. Uggg I should have bought this

With ya on the knob kahn
Awesome, connect 2 review coming soon? 🎉
Yep 😊 it is my next review!
@@AudioHotlinehell yeargh!!! ❤
Your voice sounds very good on this mic. Does it have a mix minus to record phone interviews?
Can we use the usb-c port and connect to smartphone for call in interview?
Absolutely! The usb-c plug labeled “mobile” can do that!
Thanks, next question. Can we connect usb-c mobile labeled port to macbook to have 2 loopback channel like the Rodecaster Pro ii?
@ yes! This is also an option. It just shows up as “Connect 6 Mobile”

I also hate the whole one Knob wave these companies are doing lately it takes a while to get used to 😂
@@itsprod.472 I dont want to get used to it lol
I don't even want a single knob, I prefer to control everything via software.
nice knob!
Trying to record video with studio sound is there anything like that ? I can't find it anywhere?
I would love if Lewitt make an app for tablets like Presonus.
Please review rode nt1000. It's a mic that is not as popular as nt1

Any clip guard or something to stop it from clipping?

Problem with one knob that works for everything is that it will be more likely to get break down easily.
That's true, I have already pressed that knob a ton. Hopefully, it holds up!
The potential for jokes around knob playing is way too high for CZcams.

Will you ever review the donnor dc 20

That was a beautiful shameless podcast plug
Can you record videos on iphone using lewitt as audio i/p?
Did you ever find out answer to this?
@@MyTimeNotFree Yes you can. You need a 3.5mm to lightning converter.
Plug an aux between the headphone o/p on lewitt and the iphone.
Is is better than audeint I'd 14
It sounds good but, while it shouldn't matter, it is butt ugly.
Which is something for a device you have 24/7 in front of your monitor.
😆

use mouth declick for the love of god I can hear the chili.
Chillllll…i 😈
@@AudioHotline LOL! At least brush your teeth if you're going to voice after lunch.
@@rudyabel4877 🤣 yeah, there was a period I was sick a lot but I tried to record through it. I can hear what you mean. I am surprised no one else has said anything… but I am glad 😂
@@AudioHotline I'm a voice actor. Mouth clicks are triggering.
@@rudyabel4877 lol! Fair enough! I feel like I am usually pretty good about them, this is a bad showing though.
