The Neumann MT 48 is an audio interface that aims to deliver uncompromising sound quality and set new standards in audio recording. It aims to provide an unparalleled audio recording experience, combining high-quality components, DSP processing, and an intuitive user interface for professionals in recording studios and personal studios alike.
Key Features
Swiss Precision and Collaboration:
Developed in collaboration with Merging Technologies, known for high-precision AD converters.
Merging Technologies' AD converters offer an impressive dynamic range of 136 dB, providing four times the resolution of comparable audio interfaces.
Ideal Signal Chain:
Designed to capture the full dynamic range of Neumann microphones.
Optimally matched to Neumann KH-Line studio monitors and Neumann headphones, creating an ideal signal chain.
Exceptional Audio Quality:
Class-leading AD-converter resolution with a dynamic range of 136 dB.
Two premium-quality mic/line preamps with up to 78 dB gain.
Four line/monitor outputs for flexible routing.
Two ultra-low impedance headphone outputs with adjustable crossfeed.
DSP Power for Monitoring:
Internal DSP power for monitor mixes with sophisticated EQ and dynamics processing.
Four separate monitor mixes can be controlled directly on the unit via the touchscreen.
Connectivity and Expansion:
ADAT/S/PDIF optical I/O, AES67, MIDI/GPIO for comprehensive connectivity.
Expandable connectivity options for future requirements.
Dual Output Technology:
Allows recording of wet and dry signals simultaneously via separate driver channels.
Provides flexibility to print effects while recording or to have an unprocessed backup.
Touchscreen User Interface:
Intuitive touchscreen interface for easy operation.
Adjust pan pots, channel faders, and other settings directly on the device without relying on external mixer software.
Stand-Alone Operation:
Can be operated stand-alone as a mixing console, providing convenience and flexibility.
On-Board Processing:
On-board processing includes a fully parametric 4-band EQ and a 3-way dynamics processor (gate/compressor/limiter) per channel.
High-quality reverb for added creativity and inspiration.
Recording Flexibility:
DSP processing can be used for monitoring only or for recording effects.
Wet and dry signals can be recorded simultaneously for added flexibility.
