Neumann MT 48 U

Description

  • 2 mic/line preamps in premium quality, 2 sound-neutral line/instrument inputs
  • 4 line/monitor outputs, 2 top-class headphone outputs
  • 1x universal power supply including USB-C connection cable
  • DSP processing (EQ, Dynamics, Reverb), 4 independent mixers


The MT 48 is an audio interface without compromise. With its huge dynamic range, first-class converters, preamps and headphone amplifiers, it sets new standards in sound quality. Internal DSP power enables monitor mixes with sophisticated EQ and dynamics processing - always intuitive to use via touchscreen.

  • AD/DA converter in a class of its own with enormous dynamic range
  • 2 mic/line preamps in premium quality, 2 sound-neutral line/instrument inputs
  • 4 line/monitor outputs, 2 top-class headphone outputs
  • USB, ADAT and AES67 interfaces
  • Intuitive touchscreen user interface
  • DSP processing (EQ, Dynamics, Reverb), 4 independent mixers
  • Two driver outputs per input channel for pre-FX and/or post-FX recording

The MT 48 brings Neumann quality to the digital workflow. It is the first audio interface in its class that reproduces the entire dynamic range of Neumann microphones and is optimally tailored to the KH-Line studio monitors and Neumann headphones. This creates an exemplary signal chain without any bottlenecks: uncompromising sound quality from the microphone membrane to the ear.
