QUESTION · TUESDAY FOCUS

Can you elaborate on setting up mics in a recording studio while wearing these? Might the engineer actually walk into the active studio while wearing these to change the sound?

THE PANEL'S ANSWER
Brian Fisher

Within the 16-foot range and without obstructions, engineers can walk around to adjust microphone placement while monitoring wirelessly; potential signal loss occurs crossing into live rooms.

43:02into the active studio while wearing these to change the sound that is a new method of micing that i have never done interesting yeah that's interesting so like i said there's a 16 foot range of the transmitter. So, if you're staying within that range and you're not, you know, don't have a huge obstacle kind of blocking the way, you will get some cutout potentially if

43:30you're crossing over into a live room. But it would be interesting to experiment with placement and figuring out if you can find a place to put it where you would be within range as you're kind of moving around things in the live room. But in a home studio context or a project studio where you're kind of mixing and recording in the same room,

43:54it is really ideal to be able to, you know, be adjusting, you know, reamping guitar, adjusting the microphone with these on and then just walk back to your mixing station and not have to, yeah, worry about getting tangled up on the way. Sounds almost ideal to be able to figure mic placement out. I mean, if you're micing a viola or something like that, and you're able to move it and still have the headphones on that are connected to the feed, that might be really, really useful to save time.

44:23Anyway, next question. Here we have Guy Crockron in Seattle, Washington, asking, is there a cushion option for hot and humid environments? My 7506 is getting sticky, and my Sennheiser HD25-1-2s came with velour. Oh, headphone pads. Yeah, we do have some alternate headphone pads coming down the line. We're going to have, obviously, like replacement options for when they wear out or get funky after years of use.

▶ 00:14:56If you remain close to the unit, it will keep the latency low. What happens if you go a bit further? How much running room do you have here?▶ 00:16:08How about multiple musicians in studio, some needing to share the same mix, others their own, without having one transmitter per headphone? Can you do a couple of sets off of something?▶ 00:19:56What is the history of Lewitt and how did the idea for these come about?▶ 00:26:43The specs appear to treat real sound, Bluetooth, USB-C, and analog as separate modes. Can the LW6 stay connected to multiple sources at once? And if so, can you switch between them or actually mix them?▶ 00:28:02I believe you mentioned being able to use the wireless and analog interfaces on the transmitter simultaneously. Is there a difference in latency between the two when both interfaces are used?▶ 00:29:12Are the batteries replaceable? What is the runtime if being used at full volume?▶ 00:30:06In your YouTube video top 10 tips for recording vocals in your home studio you mentioned number four dial in your headphone mix. Can you expand on that here?▶ 00:31:00Since DSP is built right in the headphones themselves, all four inputs, real sound, Bluetooth, USB-C, and analog modes get the same treatment, correct?▶ 00:31:52What professional workflow do you think is the best match for the LW6's combination of low latency wireless and multiple input options?▶ 00:39:12Have you guys done any thinking about onset location audio? Can one transmitter go to many headphone receivers or is it only a couple of pairs?▶ 00:40:08Is there any way to tie the transmitter into a pro mixing console with balanced outs? What's the feed?▶ 00:41:06How is the sound rejection and noise cancellation? Is there active noise cancellation of these or are they just relying on the fact that it's a closed foam headphone?▶ 00:42:21Are these headphones comfortable to wear with glasses? I've had problems in the past with headphones.▶ 00:44:27Is there a cushion option for hot and humid environments? My 7506 is getting sticky, and my Sennheiser HD 25-1-2s came with velour.▶ 00:45:24If I'm feeding the transmitter with a pro headphone amp like an RND-RNHP, would I turn the volume knob on the amp to max and control the volume at the headset? Do you have to learn gain structure for these?▶ 00:47:32If using them wirelessly in a situation where your signal chain includes side tone (one's own voice in the mix), would the single-digit millisecond latency be perceptible or distracting for some users?▶ 00:49:23What adapters are included with the LW6 package?▶ 00:49:57Is it a standard wireless connection or through a proprietary dongle? What frequency band is it in?▶ 00:50:23What's the most popular Lewitt mic? About how many mics are in the Lewitt catalog?▶ 00:52:14Where should people take a look to find Lewitt products? What are your retail outlets or online outlets?▶ 00:53:49Is the LW6 in the supply chain already? What's the shipping status?
