The audio interface that suits you

CONNECT 2 is an audio interface that can be used for music, podcasts, streaming, and anything else you might need.
LEWITT's unique AutoSetup technology adjusts your voice and instruments to their optimal sound with just a few clicks, ensuring proper input settings, consistent levels, distortion prevention, and noise reduction. And with LEWITT's signature pro audio specs packed into a compact enclosure, you no longer need to adjust your audio interface settings to get the results you want. CONNECT 2 adapts to your recording environment.

●The unique Auto Setup function matches any scene. Simply select the source you want to record and the sound you want, and CONNECT 2 will automatically set up the appropriate input settings (input gain, +48v, low cut), your preferred preamp character, clip guard to prevent distortion caused by excessive input, compressor to provide a consistent level, and denoiser to learn and remove background noise.
All functions are processed on the powerful onboard DSP with a latency of just 1ms.
Furthermore, AutoSetup settings are saved in the unit and are applicable not only to Windows/Mac environments but also to iOS devices such as iPhone/iPad.

●Customizable touch-based user interface The touch-based capacitive control interface provides clear visual feedback control.
The central touch wheel controls levels for mic, instrument input, headphone, and monitor, and each input and output can be muted directly on the device.
The 25-step LED ring provides an accurate visual meter, and all LED colors, including those on the buttons, can be freely configured to your preferences using the CONTROL CENTER software.
In addition, the Custom button on the main unit allows for workflow shortcuts, such as quickly switching from recording to monitoring scenarios or calling up the CONTROL CENTER with a single push.

Professional-spec input and output

Microphone Preamp: The powerful microphone preamp with 72dB of gain and 118dB of dynamic range takes full advantage of the AutoSetup settings, allowing it to be adapted to any microphone type without the need for a signal booster.
Hi-Z input jack: Equipped with a Hi-Z instrument jack boasting a dynamic range of 121 dB. Connect a guitar and enjoy a direct input signal that faithfully captures your performance.
It's compatible with everything from vintage single-coil pickups to the latest active humbuckers, and its ground break loop circuitry enhances hum immunity. As with the microphone channel, CONNECT 2's AutoSetup lets you automatically set the input gain by strumming your electric guitar for a few seconds.
Preamp Sound: The built-in DSP effects provide three iconic preamp characteristics with zero latency for both microphone and instrument inputs. Choose from Clear for perfect clarity, Warm for vintage tone, and Vivid for a sparkling sound.
Headphone Output: CONNECT 2's zero-ohm headphone output preserves your headphones' frequency response, ensuring an accurate listening experience. If you use high-impedance studio headphones, you can get the power you need by enabling high-impedance mode in the CONTROL CENTER software. To save you the hassle of searching for adapters, CONNECT 2 offers headphone jacks for both sizes.
Monitor output: Frequency response is 20Hz to 20kHz, and a high-volume speaker mode with a maximum output of 12.2 dBV can be selected from the CONTROL CENTER software. The ratio of the unit's input to the PC playback signal at the monitor/headphone output can be adjusted as desired, enabling direct monitoring with zero latency.
Easier Streaming and Loopback: The easy-to-use Loopback channel lets you capture your computer's playback audio. Perfect for streaming, sample recording, Zoom calls, or playing along with your favorite YouTubers.
Dedicated streaming modes include mobile streaming mode, which mixes the device's input sound to software Input 1/2, and
Equipped with macOS streaming mode that sends software input to loopback and main unit input to software input 3/4.
Easy to use with streaming software, mobile devices and mobile apps.

●The perfect compact solution with the autofocus microphone RAY (sold separately) When used in conjunction with CONNECT 2, the condenser microphone RAY (sold separately), which incorporates the unique AURA sensor and was developed to ensure that "you sound the same whether you're close or far from the microphone," Ray compensates for changes in volume and tone caused by the distance between you and the microphone,
In addition, by using CONNECT 2 in conjunction with the DAC, you can control sudden over-input, signal level consistency, and even background noise.
Whether recording voice or instruments, the world's most compact and advanced solution allows anyone to achieve professional recording results, even if it's their first time.
