QUESTION · TUESDAY FOCUS

If 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?

THE PANEL'S ANSWER
Brian Fisher

The transmitter has a 16-foot range; connection status is visible in the app, and crackling/dropout occurs at the outer limits.

IN THEIR OWN WORDS

From the transcript.

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

14:56How much running room do you have here, Brian? Yeah, so the range of the transmitter is about 16 feet. And so you can actually see your connection status in the application if you're getting like towards the edge. But in practice, you know, in a typical control room, you're not going to get much further than that. The main thing that you need to keep in mind is the transmitter should

15:22be kind of in clear view of you and the headphones without any large objects obstructing it. But yeah, you'll start to hear if you get to the very, very outer limits, you'll hear a little bit of crackling and kind of the early signs of dropout. So it's pretty obvious when you've reached kind of the edge of that boundary. Okay. It sounds like that you can turn around in the studio and get some gear, no problem.

15:47But if you decide you have to go pick up the mail, you're in trouble. Yeah. Out on the street. Run to a different room or out of the house. It's not going to work. It's a little iffy. All right. Fair enough. Well, it's trying to do something special. I mean, this isn't just a low-grade wireless system that if you lose it, it's no big deal

16:03If you're listening to something back, you want it to maintain connection as much as possible. Let's sneak into our next question. And this one here is from Peter Belvin in Houston, Texas. How about multiple musicians in studio, some needing to share the same mix, others their own, without having one transmitter per headphone? Ah, can you do a couple of sets off of something?

▶ 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.▶ 00:43:10Can 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?▶ 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?
