How 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?

Each transmitter pairs with one headphone; multiple musicians would need separate transmitters, though the transmitter has an extra analog output for an additional passive headphone.

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?
16:27Or what's the topology of the small radio system? That is a good question. I know you can run kind of multiple wireless units. Not off of the same transmitter though. You have that extra, you know, analog output on the transmitter, but they're designed to really go and be paired with one pair of headphones. So essentially, you know, when you have like different headphone mixes going out, you would take that analog connection, you would connect it to your transmitter, and then you would have that wireless feed of your headphone mix.
17:05You know, most likely everyone's going to have different headphones. Maybe some people brought their own. So it's unlikely that you'll see, you know, every single player in the studio with wireless. But yeah, if you did have that, it's a pretty low profile transmitter. and we include a special mount too, so you could easily mount it to a microphone stand or something like that if you need to keep it close and out of the way.
17:33So does it have like a quarter 20 on the bottom, or you said there's some sort of special mount? Is this for the box? Yeah, for the little transmitter that transmits the wireless signal, there's a little kind of adapter on the bottom, so you could like screw it into a mic stand. Ah, okay, cool, cool. I'm curious. This seems like a musician's best friend. If you're tired, as I am, I'm not a musician, but I spend all my time in front of microphones. And I just know that every time I grab one of my old headphone cords, I realize how managed to mess it up I've managed to get here.
18:13So the idea of not having all these curly cords that are driving me nuts, that strikes me as being a nice idea. What are the features of this that's going to make it easier for people to operate in the studio? And it seems like what you're headed for is something that makes life a little bit easier for you, but still has very few compromises in sound.
18:37Is that really the point of this whole thing? Yeah, I mean, you nailed it right there. I think obviously, you know, you can immediately see the benefit of wireless in terms of not dealing with tangled cords and all that stuff. But for me, one of the additional benefits is being able to use the same pair of headphones for a lot of different applications and have a very consistent sound quality.
18:59Because typically, you know, I'm in a mix in open back headphones. Open back headphones tend to have a more neutral sound profile that works better for mixing. and you use closebacks for recording because you need that isolation so you don't get extra bleed in your microphone. But, you know, our goal with designing the sound of these was to really aim for the neutrality and kind of transparency of an open back headphone, but in a closeback design.
19:26So you can mix on these, you can record on these, and there's not that jarring experience of switching headphones and everything sounds totally different from how you remembered recording it. So for me, that's a really big workflow thing that's helpful beyond just the convenience of wireless. Let's go to our next question. Coming in from Seattle, Washington, here's a really good question from Guy Cochran.
19:52What is the history of Lewitt and how did the idea for these come about? Ah, we always like origin stories and some of us have heard of Lewitt for quite a while, but tell us a little bit about the company too. Yeah, so it's based in Vienna, Austria. And it was founded by our CEO Roman. And I think about 2009, it was he originally worked at AKG for a while. And then eventually, when he started Lewitt, his goal and intention was really to focus on innovation, just with the idea that not everything that can be done with microphones has been done, that there's a lot of interesting technology out there that could be
