IN THEIR OWN WORDS

From the transcript.

Machine-transcribed, so it may contain errors. Every timestamp opens the episode at that second.

1:39I'm wearing them right here. And like you said, they are a ultra low latency wireless studio headphone. So that's kind of a category that hasn't existed. There are obviously plenty of consumer headphones that are wireless. You know, Bluetooth options are all over the place, but the issue with Bluetooth is it degrades the audio quality. So you have compressed audio and you also have a lot of latency.

2:06So, you know, audible delay between what you're doing and what you're hearing, and especially if you're trying to use them for recording, that just wouldn't work. So that was the problem that we were trying to solve with these. These actually just launched today, this morning. So brand new on the market is as new as could be. But yeah, that's really the goal is to kind of provide a uncompromised performance of a professional studio headphone, but with wireless technology.

2:34I was looking at the specs and you've achieved something like 5.4 milliseconds of delay. Yeah, exactly. So 5.8 milliseconds of latency. So we developed a proprietary wireless technology that we call RealSound that delivers completely uncompressed PCM audio. Oh, sorry. I thought you cut in there for just a second. But yeah. So basically, you know, that was the two design challenges for us were one, creating wireless uncompressed

3:08audio that was low enough latency to where it wouldn't be a problem. So 10 milliseconds is kind of that threshold of audibility where it starts becoming distracting and affecting your performance if you're recording with the headphones. So we wanted to keep it as low as possible and as high quality as possible. And then the other challenge was creating a really, really neutral and accurate frequency

3:35response in a closed back headphone so that it can be used for both recording and for critical listening and mixing purposes. Talk to me a little bit about, I think as I was reading through the product specs, they were talking about the fact that it not only has this ultra low latency pathway, but it also has regular Bluetooth. So if you want to use these for something other than this ultra low latency,

4:02like if you just wanted to monitor something that was a Bluetooth feed from something else, you could do that as well. Can you talk a little bit about that design feature? Yeah, absolutely. We wanted to just include all of the different connection options that we could really think of. So it does have traditional Bluetooth for if you just want to take it outside

4:20the studio, connect to your phone. But then you also can connect wired via analog. There's a USB-C port in the headphones you can connect directly to. And then we have the transmitter for wireless that can be plugged in directly to your laptop via USB-C. Or you can run an analog input into that from a mixer or audio interface. So there's a whole bunch of different ways you can connect it.

4:45So yeah, you can sort of take it between whatever scenario, whether you're mixing on the go or tracking in a traditional studio or just listening to music on the commute to work. And from what I remember seeing, the headphones themselves, there's also a connector unit. And as I understand it, that software programmable, you can do things with these that you can't do with a standard set of regular wired headphones?

5:12Yeah, so that's another aspect is they have built in DSP. So there's digital processing happening on the headphones that allows you to do things like customize the frequency response. One thing that, you know, we noticed from our research is if you wear glasses, or, you know, sometimes just different head shapes, different amount of hair can affect how this seals and the amount of bass you hear. So being able to actually tweak the frequency response can be really

5:41helpful and you can save kind of your custom profile in the headphones so that it goes with you whenever you connect them it just automatically comes up you can even do up to three different versions of like custom eq profiles and then there's also virtual studio monitors so it creates basically a binaural like virtual studio environment so it sounds like you're sitting

▶ 00:00:34If 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?▶ 00:00:38How about multiple musicians in studio, some needing to share the same mix, others their own, without having one transmitter per headphone?▶ 00:00:45What is the history of Lewitt and how did the idea for these come about?▶ 00:00:55Are there any head-related transfer function techniques built into your headphones? What are your thoughts on using headphones to mix in 3D?▶ 00:01:01The 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?▶ 00:01:04Is there a difference in latency between the two when both interfaces are used—the wireless and analog interfaces on the transmitter simultaneously?▶ 00:01:06Are the batteries replaceable? What is the runtime if being used at full volume?▶ 00:01:08In 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 with a YouTube link?▶ 00:01:10Since DSP is built right in the headphones themselves, all four inputs—real sound, Bluetooth, USB-C, and analog modes—get the same treatment, correct?▶ 00:01:32Is there any way to tie the transmitter into a pro mixing console with balanced outs? What's the feed?▶ 00:01:34How is the sound rejection and noise cancellation? Is there active noise cancellation on these, or are they just relying on the fact that it's a closed headphone?▶ 00:01:36Are these headphones comfortable to wear with glasses? I've had problems in the past with headphones.▶ 00:01:38Can 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—is that a new method of micing?▶ 00:01:42Is there a cushion option for hot and humid environments? My 7506 is getting sticky, and my Sennheiser HD25-1-2s came with velour.▶ 00:01:44If 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?▶ 00:01:48If 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?▶ 00:01:52What adapters are included with the LW6 package?▶ 00:01:54Is it a standard wireless connection or through a proprietary dongle? What frequency band is it in?▶ 00:01:55What's the most popular Lewitt mic?▶ 00:01:55How many mics are in the Lewitt catalog? What variations are out there for people interested in exploring the brand?
