▶ 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.▶ 00:43:10Can 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?▶ 00:52:14Where 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?
