The New Benchmark
Premium audio interface in Neumann quality with intuitive touchscreen control.
The 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.
About Neumann
Neumann.Berlin has been on the cutting edge of studio technology for close to a century and has been part of the Sennheiser Group since 1991. Founded in 1928, Neumann has created such microphone legends as the U 47, U 67, and U 87. Since 2010, Neumann.Berlin has established a line of award-winning studio loudspeakers, followed by very successful studio headphones starting in 2019. Neumann’s first audio interface MT 48 thus becomes the centerpiece, connecting the entire portfolio to create the perfect studio.
The Perfect Link
MT 48
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.
Swiss Precision Inside
The MT 48 was developed in close cooperation with the Swiss manufacturer Merging Technologies, whose high-precision A/D converters offer a staggering dynamic range of 136 dB. This gives the MT 48 four times the resolution of comparable audio interfaces.
Fully Equipped for the Reference-Class Personal Studio
The MT 48 offers 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 MT 48’s connectivity may be expanded via ADAT / S/PDIF and AES67; a MIDI interface is also integrated.
Intuitive Touchscreen Control
Four separate monitor mixes can be controlled directly on the unit via touchscreen. On-board processing 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.
Dual Output Technology
You can use the MT 48’s DSP processing for monitoring only, or you can print effects while recording. Or both at the same time! Thanks to the unique Dual Output Technology, wet and dry signals can be recorded simultaneously via separate driver channels. So, if necessary, you can fall back on an unprocessed backup.
