Scope of delivery:
The Lewitt Connect 2 is a sleek and user-friendly audio interface that delivers pristine audio quality with minimal effort. Featuring an XLR microphone input (with phantom power) and a Hi-Z compatible 6.35mm jack input for instruments, it offers flexibility for a wide range of musicians and content creators while ensuring an effortless setup and streamlined workflow. The minimalist, touch-sensitive control surface, with a prominent central LED ring, provides access to key functions and enables precise adjustments with ease. Onboard DSP-powered processing tools, including Clipguard, a noise reduction algorithm, and a compressor, help maintain a clean and consistent signal. The Autogain function further simplifies the setup process by automatically adjusting input levels, while three distinct preamp modes offer tonal variety to suit different recording needs. Dual balanced 6.35mm jack outputs and two headphone outputs provide flexible monitoring options, making the Lewitt Connect 2 an excellent choice for beginners and professionals alike.
The Lewitt Connect 2 supports conversion rates of up to 24-bit/96kHz, ensuring professional-grade resolution, perfectly suited to both professional and home studio environments. The preamp offers three switchable profiles: "Clean" for an uncoloured sound ideal for post-production, "Warm" for added harmonic richness, and "Vivid" to enhance clarity and presence. Condenser microphones can be powered via the 48V phantom power switch, while the LEWITT Control Center software unlocks additional controls, including input/output monitoring and playback adjustments. The Loopback function allows the capture of system audio alongside live inputs, making it an effective tool for podcasting, streaming, and hybrid recording setups.
The Connect 2 features an Autosetup function that configures levels and settings within seconds, greatly simplifying the setup and recording process. The responsive touch panel allows input and output levels to be set intuitively, while a large mute button temporarily silences all channels to prevent unwanted feedback. A programmable Custom Button further enhances workflow by enabling quick switching between recording and monitoring presets or adjusting LED brightness to suit different working environments. Its compact and lightweight design fits into any confined workspace, making it an excellent option for smaller setups.
Founded in Vienna in 2010, the midsize Austrian company Lewitt describes itself as the world's fastest-growing microphone brand, and indeed Lewitt has quickly made a name for itself among producers. The reason: The firm has a passionate team that produces remarkably transparent-sounding condenser microphones with low self-noise. Development takes place in Austria, but by producing the microphones in China, among other factors, Lewitt can offer its high-quality products at extremely low prices.
The Lewitt Connect 2's built-in DSP processing provides essential tools for clean and dynamic audio capture, which, when properly used, ensure professional results. Clipguard prevents unwanted distortion by automatically limiting signal peaks, while the Denoiser minimises background noise and interference for improved clarity. The onboard compressor maintains coherent dynamics, enhancing audio consistency and delivering professional results in any recording environment. Customisable LED indicators add a practical and aesthetic touch, with adjustable brightness and colour settings available via the LEWITT Control Center. Whether for music production, content creation, or online communication, the Connect 2 delivers reliable performance in an elegant, streamlined, and effective package.
