Neumann MT 48

Without compromising on design and performance, the Neumann MT 48 desktop audio interface is a dream for any studio. It is the only interface specifically optimized for the acclaimed Neumann studio microphones and their outstanding KH and NDH series of studio monitors and headphones. Two premium microphone/line preamps, state-of-the-art AD/DA converters, and ample input and output options (I/O) allow for professional sound quality and easy integration into your studio. Additionally, the MT 48 impresses with cutting-edge DSP effects and an easily readable touchscreen that enables intuitive operation.

The Neumann MT 48 is the first interface of its kind capable of capturing the full dynamic range of the celebrated Neumann microphones. Thanks to its precise AD converters, this USB-C audio interface offers a stunning dynamic range of 136dB. The low-noise microphone preamps provide up to 78dB of gain, guaranteeing crystal-clear sound quality. The MT 48 sets a new standard for desktop audio interfaces.

Regardless of your project, the Neumann MT 48 is up to the task. Its two microphone/line preamps deliver enough power to accommodate any microphone-hungry device. In addition, there are two line/instrument inputs that provide true reference sound. Four analog outputs, two high-quality headphone outputs, support for ADAT, S/PDIF, and AES67 digital expansion, as well as built-in MIDI I/O complete the offering.

The MT 48 features a built-in DSP that provides you with a fully parametric 4-band EQ, a feature-rich dynamics processor for each channel, and studio-quality reverb. You can control four separate monitor mixes directly through the device's intuitive touchscreen. And if something goes wrong, don't worry! With the MT 48's Direct Output Technology, you can create an unprocessed backup during recording. With the MT 48, you won't lose any outstanding performance due to an unfortunate EQ mistake.

The Neumann MT 48 is more than just an audio interface. It is a professional tool that supports you in creating inspiring recordings. It has everything you expect from a product bearing the legendary Neumann logo.
