Listen "Lewitt Connect 2 Interface Review / Walkthrough"

Episode Synopsis

Today I walkthrough, explain, test and review the new Lewitt Connect 2 streaming audio interface. I compare it to the Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 4th gen, test the preamps with the SM7b, demo the D.I. Instrument inputs, test the line level input capability, walk through the clipguard feature, eq settings, denoise capability, and compressor as well. This is an all around fantastic interface for someone who needs a single preamp and instrument input.Buy the Lewitt Connect 2 (Affiliate Links)Amazon: https://geni.us/connect2Sweetwater: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/connect2B&H Photo: https://bhpho.to/4kBgVGQThomann: https://thmn.to/thoprod/590334Buy the Shure SM7b (Affiliate Link)Amazon:  https://geni.us/shuresm7bSweetwater:  https://imp.i114863.net/sm7bB&H Photo: https://bhpho.to/3sRWmQbThomann: https://thmn.to/thoprod/129929RECORDING SETTINGS:Mic: Neumann U87 AiConversion: 24-bit / 48kHzGain: 29dBBoosted in Post: +8dBSPECS:USB: Bit Depth: 24-bit, Sampling Rate: 44.1, 48, or 96khzEIN: -129dBV (A-weighted) Gain Range: 0-72dBDynamic Range: 118dB (A)00:00 - Intro / Pricing / Disclosure 00:26 - What’s in the Box00:48 - Build Quality01:20 - Walkthrough of Interface02:24 - Specifications02:51 - Headphone Amp Discussion04:02 - Shure SM7b Mic Test (No Cloudlifter or Fethead)04:53 - Preamp Noise Test05:30 - Connect 2 vs Scarlett 4th Gen06:25 - Line In Test07:30 - Auto Gain Demo08:07 - Denoise Demo09:01 - Compressor Demo09:41 - Clipguard Demo10:20 - Clean / Warm / Vivid Demo11:42 - Mute Button Demo12:11 - D.I.
