Neumann MT 48: The Ultimate Reference Audio Interface

The Neumann MT 48 is a premium desktop audio interface and digital mixing console that brings uncompromised reference-class sound to your studio. Developed in close collaboration with Merging Technologies, it is the first interface designed to unlock the full dynamic range of Neumann’s legendary microphones, KH-Line monitors, and NDH headphones. Featuring class-leading AD/DA converters, massive DSP power, and an intuitive touchscreen, it provides a perfect, bottleneck-free signal chain from input to output.

Swiss Precision and Massive Headroom

The MT 48 sets a new benchmark for audio fidelity in a desktop format:

• Unmatched Dynamic Range: High-precision AD converters boast a staggering 136 dB(A) of dynamic range—offering four times the resolution of comparable interfaces.
• Premium Preamplification: Two extremely low-noise mic/line preamps deliver up to 78 dB of clean gain, easily accommodating the most gain-hungry dynamic and ribbon microphones.
• Audiophile Headphone Outs: Features two superb, ultra-low impedance headphone amplifiers designed to drive high-end studio headphones to their absolute peak performance.

Built-In DSP and Dual Output Technology

Leave the computer screen behind and mix directly from the hardware:

• Intuitive Touchscreen: A high-resolution color touchscreen provides immediate, tactile control over levels, panning, and routing without needing to open a software control app.
• Console-Grade Processing: Internal DSP provides a fully parametric 4-band EQ, a three-way dynamics processor (gate/compressor/limiter), and a high-quality reverb on every channel.
• Record Wet and Dry: Neumann’s unique Dual Output Technology allows you to record the processed, DSP-effected signal and a clean, dry backup signal simultaneously to separate DAW tracks.

Comprehensive Studio Connectivity

Designed to be the highly flexible hub of your modern production environment:

• Versatile Analog I/O: Features two XLR/TRS combo inputs, two front-panel instrument/line inputs, four line/monitor outputs, and two headphone outs.
• Digital Expansion: Easily expand your setup using the built-in optical ADAT / S/PDIF ports, adding up to eight additional channels of external preamps or converters.
• Network Audio Ready: Fully supports RAVENNA/AES67 networked audio out of the box, with an alternative firmware available for Dante compatibility (requires Audinate license).
