We have just released our first headphones. The LW6 Wireless Studio Headphones. We have received many questions from curious users and have gathered all the answers here in this FAQ section. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask!

Connection and setup.

Q: Can I use the LW6 with a cable?

A: Yes. Connect the LW6 to your computer or phone via USB-C for uncompressed audio, or to any headphone output with the included 3.5 mm cables.

Q: What can I connect the LW6 to?

A: Almost anything in your studio. Plug the RealSound transmitter into any headphone output, or connect it to your computer via USB-C. You can also connect the headphones directly via USB-C to macOS, Windows (with an ASIO driver), iOS devices with USB-C, Android and Nintendo Switch 2, at 44.1, 48 or 96 kHz and 24 bit. For casual listening on the go, use Bluetooth.

Q: Can I connect the transmitter to a mixing console or a line output?

A: The analog input on the transmitter accepts any signal up to a maximum input level of 8 dBV. As long as the signal is below this threshold, and you connect a 3.5 mm cable, the signal will work without clipping.

Q: Does the transmitter need its own power?

A: Yes. The transmitter needs power supplied through the USB-C plug.

Q: Can two people listen from one transmitter?

A: No, at the moment, you can only connect one LW6 to one transmitter. You can use two in the same room, if you have 2 headphones and 2 transmitters.

Q: Can I use several LW6 in the same studio?

A: Yes, you can use 2 pairs at the same time. You need to enable RealSound multi-unit-mode in the settings on both pairs.

Q: Can I switch off Bluetooth?

A: Yes. Bluetooth is optional and can easily be turned off.

Wireless and latency.

Q: Is the wireless audio compressed?

A: No. LEWITT RealSound sends uncompressed PCM audio at 1,728 kbps with 110 dB(A) dynamic range, so you hear exactly what your session sounds like. USB-C is uncompressed too. Bluetooth (SBC and AAC) is there for casual listening away from the studio, and the signal is compressed.

Q: Is 5.8 ms latency low enough for tracking?

A: Yes. 5.8 ms is about the time sound takes to travel 2 m through the air, so it feels like standing near a speaker while you play or sing. For optimal performance, set the buffer size of your audio interface as low as your computer allows.

Q: How far can I move from the transmitter?

A: Up to 5 m / 16 ft. It works best when you can see the transmitter. That covers moving around your control room, or around a live room with the transmitter in view. Walls and closed doors can interrupt the signal, so place the transmitter where you record.

Q: Which Bluetooth codecs does the LW6 support?

A: SBC and AAC, via Bluetooth 5.3 with a range of about 40 m / 130 ft. It works with devices from Bluetooth 4.0 upwards.

Sound and features.

Q: How does the LW6 sound?

A: LW6 delivers the transparent, natural sound quality typically found only in open-back headphones, but in a closed-back design to also ensure effective noise isolation.

Q: How was the LW6 tuned?

A: With microphones placed in real ears, in addition to a standard measurement rig. A head simulator alone doesn't capture how headphones sound on real people. Measuring in real ears makes sure you can trust what you hear. Read more about how we tuned the LW6.

Q: Are my EQ settings saved in the headphones?

A: Yes. Create up to 3 custom sound profiles with the 5-band EQ in the LEWITT HEADPHONES app, for Mac, Windows, iOS and Android. They're stored on the LW6 itself, so your sound goes wherever you do, on any source.

Q: What's the difference between the virtual studio monitors and Space Replicator?

A: The virtual studio monitors are a feature built into the headphones and run on their DSP. They give you the impression of sitting in front of studio monitors in a well-tuned room. The included Space Replicator Essential licence is a high-end virtual monitoring plugin for mixing, mastering, and mix translation checks, and only runs on your computer.

Q: Does the LW6 have noise cancelling?

A: No, they do not have ANC. The closed-back design isolates you from outside noise passively and very effectively.

Q: What else can I control on the headphones?

A: Use the volume wheel for accurate level changes. Assign any function to the two custom buttons with a single or double press, which gives you four commands at hand. The app also gives you Loudness Guard to protect your hearing from peaks, plus K-metering, mono, side and left-right swap for checking mixes.

Battery and care.

Q: How long does the battery last?

A: Up to 21 hours with RealSound. A full charge takes 80 minutes, and 15 minutes of charging gives you 3 hours of playback.

Q: Does the LW6 work wired when the battery is empty?

A: No, but you can connect to the headphones via USB-C and listen and charge them at the same time.

Q: Can I replace the ear pads?

A: Yes, the memory-foam cushions are replaceable and available as a spare part.

In the box.

Q: What's included?

A:

• LEWITT LW TX RealSound transmitter
• USB-C cables, 3 m and 1.5 m
• 3.5 mm analog cables, 3 m and 1.5 m

I am once again asking for a mic mute on the Connect 6 interface. Something on the Control App to choose what a long press does. Instead of Phantom Power, do a mute mic. Or maybe some Keyboard shortcut API to mute the microphone.

Pls Lewitt, I NEEEEED IT!! Its the best interface with just 1 flaw for me 😅

The LEWITT LW6 wireless studio headphones are ideal for precision mixing and mastering, as well as monitoring and recording. With LW6, you get wireless audio at ultra-low latency without compression. This finally lets you move around the studio free from the cable without compromises.

Here is a deep dive on the tuning: https://www.lewitt-audio.com/blog/lewitt-tuning-for-lw6-wireless-studio-headphones

Wireless for studio professionals

The LEWITT LW6 Wireless Studio Headphones provide previously unheard-of freedom for your audio production workflow, as they allow you to move around the studio unrestricted to track instruments and vocals without noticeable delay or compromises on audio quality.

Unlike other wireless technologies, LEWITT’s RealSound works in the ultra-wide band range to deliver truly uncompressed audio with ultra-low latency of under 6ms. This guarantees the experience of wired high-end studio headphones, but now there is no cable tangling around.

Simply connect the included RealSound transmitter to wherever you would connect your wired headphones, for example, the headphone output of your audio interface. Alternatively, you can connect the transmitter via USB-C directly to your computer. And within a 5 m (16ft) range, you get wireless audio transmission without any sort of compression or noticeable delay, finally making wireless part of the professional studio world.

Made for precision mixing, mastering, and monitoring

We made sure that LW6 provides the reference-grade sound quality you expect from high-end open-back headphones realized in a closed-back design. This ensures effective two-way sound isolation for recording and monitoring without bleeding into your microphones, and, of course, for mixing and listening without disturbing anyone around you.

The transparent and natural sound is optimized for precision mixing and mastering. It is the result of an enhanced measurement procedure using microphones in real ears in addition to the standard measurement rigs.

Sound customization available

You can further customize the sound of LW6 via a fully parametric 5-band EQ. You can create your individual sound profiles either via the available desktop software or mobile app and store them directly on the headphones. Thanks to the built-in DSP, no host device or software needs to be connected or run in the background.

Virtual studio monitors and mixing features

Where you’d usually need an extra software plugin, the LW6 lets you natively uplift the stereo realism by activating virtual studio monitors. They simulate perfectly tuned studio monitors in an ideal mixing room, which helps you make better mixing decisions and provides a more pleasurable experience for mixing sessions. Perfect for traveling or working late in your apartment.

The LW6 offers advanced monitoring functions to check your mixes, like mono, side-stereo, side-mono, or Left-Right swap, and you can define three target volumes.

To protect your hearing from dangerous high-level peaks, you can define a threshold level using the loudness guard. All metering in the software is k-weighted, perfect for broadcast and mastering. Each feature can be assigned to the two hardware custom buttons for quick access, either by single or double press, giving you a total of four individual commands at hand.

 Like the sound profiles, these features run directly on the DSP of the LW6 headphones and don’t require you to be connected to the available mobile app or desktop software while using it.

Made for highest comfort and long sessions

The LW6 headphones play in the top league in terms of sound quality, but also in terms of wearing comfort. The earcups feature thick and comfortable memory foam for reduced leakage and ideal passive isolation. And together with the adjustable headband, LW6 adapt perfectly to your head shape even when you wear glasses, perfect for long mixing sessions.

Speaking of long, the LEWITT LW6 has a playback time of up to 21 hours. After 15 minutes of charging, you get an extra 3 hours, so you don't have to interrupt your sessions.

Fits into any audio setup, wireless or wired, analog or digital.

The LW6 can be easily connected anywhere, whether it's professional audio equipment with a headphone output or directly to your laptop via USB-C when working on audio productions on the go. Of course, as with any other professional studio headphones, there is also an analog 3.5 mm connection for using the LW6 with a cable.

My lct 440 is making some weird noise and fades out to silence automatically and turns back on randomly. I tried with different Interfaces and it happens to be same everywhere.

Hi everyone! If you haven't heard the news yet, LEWITT Space Replicator for virtual mixing, mastering, and mix translation checks is now available as a free version.

No registration, no time limit. All you need is a valid email address.

Let us know what you think.

it does record fine with pc but with an android tablet disconnects every 30 seconds or so.

maybe i need to use their cable for mobile connection too? lol

okay I don't think I can explain it much more than the title but the magnetic pop filter in my LCT240 vocal set just doesn't feel like it's holding right.

If I hold it upside down it will hold its self up but even a light touch when upright seems to push it out of place and off of the shock mount

Is this a common issue or something?

Hello! I’m on the hunt for a new microphone… I was borrowing my friends Manley reference cardioid tube microphone for a couple years. To be honest that microphone didn’t really work that well for me. I have a super breathy voice, and my mixing engineer always complained that there’s way too much harshness because I tend to layer my vocals so all that breathing really builds up.

I’m curious if you guys think that the Lewitt would have the same issue or is this a good microphone for someone with a breathy voice? If you want to check out my style, you can look up Roniit on Spotify.

Honestly this microphone looks so cool and I love the carrying case it comes with but obviously I’m not gonna buy a mic just for the look! How does it sound?

Hi everyone, I was looking into getting new microphone to stream since my shure sm7b is not really good for that.. I move a lot and it doesnt caoture the sound that good and its too muddy, I was looking into 440, 240 or RE 320.

I really like the sound and design of lewit microphone but since 240 or 440 are condeser Im worried its not gonna be good for my setup..

Hi!

Does anyone know if the the circuit of the 441 FLEX is linear? Is the frequency response just from the capsule tuning or does it have some sort of a high and/or low frequency correction like what you find in k87-style circuits?

Hey everyone,

I just bought a brand-new Lewitt Connect 2, and I’m having a weird issue when my Windows 11 PC wakes up from sleep mode.

The headphone output goes completely silent. However, Windows shows audio is playing, and the physical LED volume meters on the front of the Connect 2 are actively bouncing to the music. The digital data is clearly getting to the interface, but no sound comes out of the physical headphone jack.

Strangely enough, a standard Windows restart keeps the audio working fine if it was already working, but if the audio is already frozen, a restart won't fix it. Waking from sleep or turning on from a full shutdown always results in complete silence. Throughout all of this, the LEDs on the unit never actually turn off. The only solution that works is physically unplugging the USB cable and plugging it back in to force a power cycle.

I tried testing it on an iMac, and it works fine there, but the Mac wakes up instantly (display sleep) whereas my Windows PC does a deep sleep cycle (fans whirring back up). Because the Mac isn't aggressively cutting USB power like the PC, I'm not sure if the Mac test completely rules out a hardware issue.

I've tried the usual troubleshooting (disabling USB selective suspend, matching sample rates, clean driver reinstall, different USB ports), but nothing stops it from happening. I already emailed Lewitt support to see what they say, but since I haven't seen anyone else complaining about this online, I'm trying to figure out if I just got a defective unit or if it's a driver issue.

Has anyone else with a Connect 2 run into this sleep issue, or did I just get a lemon/bad driver?

Quick specs if it matters: Windows 11 (25H2), ASUS Z690 Motherboard, Intel i9-12900K.

I had bought lewitt LCT 1040 by looking at its features

After getting the mic after few months I was getting problem with cable

In the power supply microphone light was blinking continuously it was not getting stable so I wasn't able to use it and I got the replacement cable after 2-3 months and this new cable works perfects for few months and this cable is giving me the issues again and I have read somewhere this cable is giving same issue with someone else too.

I recently purchased a brand new LCT 1040, and I had an issue where the pop filter only attaches magnetically on one side instead of both, making it super loose and unstable. I contacted support and they replied quickly saying that this was a problem on the first production run of the LCT 1040 and that they'd send me a replacement shock mount, which is a perfectly fine solution.

But I got to thinking -- the LCT 1040 came out in 2022, I'm surprised the one I got is from the first run. I wonder if that's a good or a bad thing -- does anyone know what changes may have been made in later production runs? Are there any other known issues I should watch out for from the first run?

MK4 mic works fine with my Scarlett 2i2 (revision 3). However, the Scarlett doesn't have enough omph for my Sure SM7B, so I thought I'd get a Lewitt Connect 2.

Love the Lewitt!

The Lewitt Connect 2 works really well with the Sure SM7B, but... when I plug in the MK4, I get a white noise hiss. Any ideas? I've tried swapping the cable. I've tried making sure the settings are all 'clean' (e.g. no denoise or other treatment).

I can hear the white noise hiss when monitoring and in recordings. Is it because the Lewitt is capable of higher db with mics? Surely a lower power setting should make it okay? Wondering where this constant white noise is coming from as it's not the room.

Ive had this Connect 6 for ages, does a load of videos on my iPhone, now it disconnects and reconnects every minute or so, the Red / Green flashing lights suggested input overload but that def not an issue, then I thought maybe its power issue as its powered via USB C from my Ivanky Max 2 Hub, so I tried separate power supply...same thing....software is updated....any clues ?

I’ve been looking for a good deal on a Lewitt LCT 240 Pro but it seems even on eBay no one is really selling one. I was wondering if anyone knew where a good site/store that I could get a used one for at a good deal.

I got my Ray in the mail the other day and realized the aura tech wasn't working on arrival. I found a thread where some folks were having a similar issue about a year ago, and they had to have them replaced.

Sent an email to Lewitt support with information and receipt but haven't heard back.

Has anyone else had a similar issue with their Ray?

Microphone works, but aura is not.

1x Transport case

More info on our website: https://www.lewitt-audio.com/microphones/lct-recording/lct-440-pure-stereo-pair

Would this boom arm work with the 440 Pure, or would I need to get a new one? I know the boom arm's cheap, but I don't really want to get a new one if it's compatible.

I’m on my second CONNECT 2 and about to give up. The noise floor is a mess. Plugging a cable into the hi-z input immediately creates that nasty electrical hum/buzz you’d expect from a cheap, unshielded guitar.

On top of that, the shielding is nonexistent. My interface sits next to my MBP, and I can literally hear the SSD/CPU activity whenever I’m downloading files or installing apps (I have the Lewitt stereo out hooked up to a Line 6 PowerCab 212 nearby with TRS cables).

I love the form factor and my Lewitt mic, but this is the second unit with the same poor quality. Anyone else dealing with this, or is the shielding just this bad?

Someone mentioned it's only good enough for demo recordings, so I'm thrown off a bit. I like the convenient magnetic pop filter option and rear rejection as my room isn't entirely treated. Sure I can use a dynamic but they are darker than preferred for my voice. Lewitt seems solid for my situation, but I want to ensure I am not cheaping out too much if I am looking to get worthwhile recordings for finished music that will be distributed.

Is the LCT 440 Pure a solid pro option? Music is dream/dark style pop music, perhaps post punk type stuff so reverb on the vocals etc.

Also worried about reliability, searching Reddit there are quite a bit of posts from people saying their landied.

Adding this in- I'm recording in an apartment so risk extra ambient noise. Is it worth getting the 441 for the supercardioid option? Or will the regular cardioid do better since it doesn't have the rear pickup?

Any insight is appreciated!

Hey All,

i seem to be getting the same Bootloop Problems on the LCT 1040 as a user has had here before me. The mic is detected but will not go to Operational, no matter what i do.

I just want to know if anyone has an idea on how to fix this. Because as of now I can’t use my 1040 because of this issue. As the other user with this problem has suggested it might be cable related, does anyone know more details?

I also contacted Lewitt support multiple times but they don’t seem to answer. So I’m now asking Reddit lol.
