Renowned for their range of microphones, Lewitt Audio have announced their first foray into the audio interface market with the release of CONNECT 6.

According to the press release, CONNECT 6 is a Dual USB-C audio interface featuring extensive analog and digital connectivity, full iOS/Android device integration, and excellent sounding studio-grade preamps. The onboard DSP offers virtual channels, a mixer, loopback, and individual routing managed via the included Control Center software.

You can set up workflows from basic to complex easily, and since your audio is processed via the hardware-based DSP, your setup is highly stable and independent from your computer’s performance. Everything is conveniently managed on a single device avoiding the need for time-consuming workarounds.

Designed for musicians as well as for podcasters, live streams, online calls and more, CONNECT 6 expands the classic audio interface towards personalized and smooth audio workflows, with crystal-clear sound quality and high ease of use.

Noise-Free Preamps And Convenient Auto Setup.

CONNECT 6 provides crystal-clear sound with any microphone. Simply plug it into any of the two studio grade preamps via the XLR/ Jack combo inputs. Both preamps come with an industry leading low noise performance of -133dBV EIN and 72 dB of gain (!!!) which is more than enough to use any microphone without needing expensive signal boosters. Activate Auto Setup and let CONNECT 6 find the optimal settings for your voice or instrument automatically.

DSP Effects On Board

Enjoy professional sound right from the start by adding DSP-powered effects to your voice. Refine your sound using an expander, compressor, or 4-band EQ without introducing latency to your monitoring or using precious CPU power from your computer.

Your Smartphone Or Tablet Can Be Part Of Your Audio Setup

CONNECT 6 lets you fully integrate your mobile device (or a 2nd computer) into your audio setup. Connect your mobile device via the second USB-C port for lossless digital audio transfer while conveniently charging it at the same time. This unique feature allows you to send high-class audio to mobile applications or record audio from your mobile device onto your computer. You can also connect a 2nd computer instead of a mobile device to digitally send and receive audio between two computers. CONNECT 6 is Apple MFI certified for iPhone/iPad and works perfectly with Android devices.

Mixing, Routing, And Loopback Made Easy

Creating a custom audio setup and presets is super easy with the included Control Center software. Combine the microphone signal with other audio sources from your computer, mobile device, or other inputs. With three virtual stereo channels, a loopback channel to capture audio from your browser, game, or Zoom call. You can create two completely independent audio mixes, Mix A and B.

For example, Mix A could be used for personal monitoring while Mix B is being sent wherever you need it, be it your DAW, a streaming software, or a virtual meeting. You can even send your mix to applications on your mobile device. Both mix outputs feature a one-knob Maximizer to ensure that your mixes always have the optimal loudness level.

Two Independent Headphone Outputs

The two independent headphone amps bring out the best in any headphone. They are powerful enough to drive high impedance studio headphones. Both can be fed with individual mixes and support zero-latency monitoring even with the DSP-powered effects engaged.
