0:54Yeah, thanks so much for having me. I'm really excited to talk about it. Well, go ahead. I said I'm really excited to talk about these. I think you're about to say the same. Well, everybody's been looking for something like this for a long time. I mean, low latency, getting something that feels a little bit like a wired thing, but being untethered so that no matter what you're doing, if you have to stand up for a second

▶ 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?▶ 00:01:01The 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?▶ 00:01:58Where should people take a look to find Lewitt products? What are the retail outlets or online outlets and what can they expect to find there?
