What they all have in common is the combination of simplicity and sensational sound, where one click is enough.

mute for every channelCONNECT 2 has a user-friendly interface that offers touch-based capacitive controls for smooth level adjustments and precise visual metering. With the touch wheel in the center, you can control the microphone and instrument input, headphones, and monitor levels. Each input and output can be muted directly on the device.

Autogain provides the perfect gain settings after a quick soundcheck. You can adjust the input/playback signal at any ratio for zero-latency monitoring. The Custom button lets you assign one of many workflow shortcuts like quickly switching from a recording to a monitoring scenario or bringing up the CONTROL CENTER with a single push.

enhanced hum immunityConnect your guitar to the Hi-Z instrument and enjoy a direct input signal that faithfully captures your performance. This differential input works with any guitar, from vintage single coils to modern active humbuckers, and the ground break loop circuit results in enhanced hum immunity.

As with the microphone channel, CONNECT 2 can automatically set the input gain after strumming your electric guitar for a few seconds. The tonal range of the preamp sounds gives you much more flexibility than other audio interfaces or available DI box solutions, and the 1-click studio-quality Compressor is a great way to adapt the dynamics of your playing.

accurate listening experienceYou need to be able to trust what you hear when recording and mixing. CONNECT 2's Zero-Ohm headphone outputs ensure an accurate listening experience and retain your headphones' frequency response. When using high-impedance studio headphones, you can enable the dedicated high-impedance mode to get the power you need to drive them. To save time looking for adapters, CONNECT 2 offers a headphone jack that comes in both sizes.

'RAY is a groundbreaking XLR microphone
with autofocus for your voice'Imagine if recording vocals was as easy as taking pictures with your phone. RAY is the first microphone to make this a reality. Featuring LEWITT’s new sensor-based technology called AURA, RAY dynamically adapts your levels and tone according to your distance to the microphone. It’s like autofocus but for your voice.

Instead of perfectly sharp pictures, you’re getting perfectly balanced recordings. With the groundbreaking AURA Technology and MUTE by Distance feature, RAY completely changes how we interact with a microphone. And with its Record-Ready sound, voice recordings for podcasts, streaming, content, and music production become easier than ever.

'RAY changes the rules'RAY overcomes major limitations that conventional microphones share – to ensure consistent sound quality you need to keep the proper distance and avoid moving around. Usually, when moving close to a mic, your sound becomes loud and boomy, known as the proximity effect. When moving away, your levels drop, and your sound gets thin.

RAY changes these rules with AURA, a sensor-based technology that precisely adapts your level and tone depending on your distance to the microphone. It’s like autofocus for your voice. You can focus on your performance while creating flawless recordings for podcasts, content, live streaming, and music production.

MUTE by Distance - a revolutionary way to mute your signalRAY introduces MUTE by Distance. Easily set a specific distance to automatically mute/unmute your signal. Step away from your microphone, knowing your audio will be muted or go live as you approach it. It's a game-changer for your live performance, stream, and content alike.

A MUTE button directly on your XLR microphoneRAY is the first professional XLR microphone with a dedicated MUTE button. You get clear visual feedback when MUTE is engaged, and it also works when MUTE by Distance is activated. This convenient way to control your audio is perfect for streaming, podcasts, and video meetings.

'a polished sound from the start'RAY embodies the signature LEWITT Record-Ready sound that artists, creators, and renowned studios have come to adore. This Record-Ready sound makes recording easy and gives you a polished sound from the start. The only thing you need to do is press record.

1" true condenser capsule and high-end studio specsA 1-inch true condenser capsule is the “gold standard” for detailed vocal recordings. RAY’s gold-sputtered capsule comes with a cardioid polar pattern that records everything in front of the microphone while rejecting sound coming from behind. With an incredibly low self-noise of just 8 dB(A), and the capability to handle sound pressure levels of up to 131 dBSPL, RAY will ensure your performance is never limited on the technical side.

With AURA off, RAY delivers the same outstanding results for vocal and instrument recordings as LEWITT’s best-selling studio recording microphone, the LCT 440 PURE. RAY uses a completely analog signal path and a gold-plated 3-pin XLR connector to integrate it to your current audio setup. All features are powered via the 48V phantom power coming from your audio interface or preamp.

Compact and camera-friendly designRAY's compact design perfectly integrates with the included shock mount which reduces low-frequency rumble and structure-borne noise. The camera-friendly pop filter attaches magnetically to the shock mount, ensuring it stays in place. This clever pop filter makes it easier to show your face to the camera, read a script, or view a screen while using the microphone.

RAY is the first microphone with our new sensor-based AURA technology to dynamically adapt your levels and tone according to your distance to the microphone. It’s like autofocus but for your voice. Instead of making perfectly sharp pictures, you’re getting perfectly balanced recordings.
