The audio interface that's right for you
CONNECT 2 is an audio interface suitable for music, podcasts, streaming, and all kinds of applications.
LEWITT's proprietary AutoSetup technology adjusts your voice or instrument to the optimal sound in just a few clicks, from proper input settings and level consistency to distortion prevention and noise reduction. Furthermore, it packs LEWITT's signature professional audio specifications into a compact enclosure. You no longer need to adjust audio interface settings to achieve satisfactory results. CONNECT 2 will match your recording environment.
●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 from excessive input, compressor to provide consistent levels, and denoiser to learn and remove background noise.
All functions are processed on a powerful built-in DSP, resulting in a latency of just 1ms.
Furthermore, AutoSetup settings are saved within the device and applied not only to Windows/Mac environments but also to iOS devices such as iPhones and iPads.
● Customizable touch-based user interface: The touch-based capacitive control interface provides clear visual feedback control.
The central touch wheel controls the levels of microphone and instrument inputs, headphones, and monitors. 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 for the buttons, can be freely customized to your liking via the CONTROL CENTER software.
Furthermore, the Custom button on the unit allows for workflow shortcuts, such as quickly switching between recording and monitoring scenarios, or calling up the CONTROL CENTER with a single press.
● Professional-grade input/output
• Microphone Preamp: Features a powerful microphone preamp with 72dB gain and 118dB dynamic range to maximize the AutoSetup settings. This makes it suitable for all types of microphones without the need for a signal booster.
• Hi-Z Input Terminal: Equipped with a Hi-Z instrument terminal boasting a dynamic range of 121 dB. By connecting a guitar, you can enjoy a direct input signal that faithfully captures your performance.
It accommodates all guitars, from vintage single-coils to the latest active humbuckers, and features a ground break loop circuit for enhanced hum resistance. Similar to the microphone channel, you can use CONNECT 2's AutoSetup to automatically set the input gain by strumming your electric guitar for a few seconds.
• Preamp Sound: Built-in DSP effects provide three iconic preamp characters to both microphone and instrument inputs without delay. Choose from Clear for perfect clarity, Warm for a vintage tone, and Vivid for a sparkling sound.
Headphone Output: CONNECT 2's zero-ohm headphone output preserves the frequency response of your headphones, ensuring an accurate listening experience. For use with high-impedance studio headphones, you can enable high-impedance mode via the CONTROL CENTER software to obtain the necessary power. To save you the trouble of searching for an adapter, CONNECT 2 features both standard and dual-size headphone jacks.
• Monitor output: Frequency response of 20Hz-20kHz, and a high-volume speaker mode with a maximum output of 12.2 dBV can also be selected via the CONTROL CENTER software. The ratio of the unit input/PC playback signal to the monitor/headphone output can be adjusted to any desired level, and zero-latency direct monitoring is also possible.
• Streaming and loopback are now easier to use. The built-in loopback channel lets you capture audio playing from your computer. Perfect for streaming, sample recording, Zoom calls, and playing along with your favorite YouTubers.
In the dedicated streaming mode, there is a mobile streaming mode that mixes the input sound from the unit with software Input 1/2,
It features a macOS streaming mode that sends software input to loopback and the main unit's input to software input 3/4.
It can be easily used with streaming software, mobile devices, and mobile apps.
●A perfect compact solution with the autofocus microphone RAY (sold separately). By using the CONNECT 2 with the RAY condenser microphone (sold separately), which incorporates a unique AURA sensor and was developed with the goal of "sounding the same whether you are close to the microphone or far away," Ray compensates for changes in volume and tone due to the distance between you and the microphone.
Furthermore, by using CONNECT 2 in conjunction, it becomes possible to control sudden overloads, signal level consistency, and even background noise.
Whether it's your voice or an instrument, even if it's your first time recording, this is the world's most compact and advanced solution that allows anyone to achieve professional-quality recording results.
