Neumann introduces the new MT 48 audio interface

The new Neumann MT 48 is an audio interface without compromise. With its huge dynamic range, superior converters, preamps and headphone amplifiers, it sets new standards in sound quality.

Internal DSP power allows for monitor mixes with sophisticated EQ and dynamics processing – all intuitively controlled via touchscreen.

The first Audio Interface from Neumann

The MT 48 brings Neumann quality to the digital workflow. It is the first audio interface in its class that is able to capture the full dynamic range of Neumann microphones and is optimally matched to the KH-Line of studio monitors and Neumann headphones.

The result is an ideal signal chain without any bottlenecks: uncompromising sound quality from the microphone diaphragm to your ear.

The MT 48 was developed in close cooperation with the Swiss manufacturer Merging Technologies, whose high-precision AD converters offer a staggering dynamic range of 136 dB. This gives the MT 48 four times the resolution of comparable audio interfaces.

Features and functions

The MT 48 comes fully equipped for the reference-class personal studio: two extremely low-noise mic/line preamps with up to 78 dB gain, two line/instrument inputs, four monitor/line outputs and two superb headphone outputs, each with state-of-the-art AD/DA converters.

The interface can be expanded via ADAT/S-PDIF and AES67. A MIDI interface is also part of the game.

Four separate monitor mixes can be controlled directly on the unit via touchscreen.

On-board processing (printable during tracking) includes a fully parametric 4-band EQ and a 3-way dynamics processor (gate/compressor/limiter) per channel as well as a high-quality reverb.

So musicians get inspiring sound for top performances. And there is still plenty of DSP power for future developments.

In summary

The device’s features are summarized here below:

• Class-leading AD-converter resolution with a dynamic range of 136 dB
• 2 premium-quality mic/line preamps, 2 pristine line/instrument inputs
• 4 line/monitor outputs
• 2 ultra-low impedance headphone outputs with adjustable crossfeed
• ADAT / S/PDIF optical I/O, AES67, MIDI/GPIO
• Two driver outputs per input channel for pre-FX and/or post-FX recording
• Intuitive touchscreen user interface
