Neumann MT 48 Audio Interface
The Neumann MT 48 is an audio interface without compromise. As the first interface in its class capable of capturing the full dynamic range of Neumann microphones, it is the missing link in your digital workflow. With its class-leading converters, premium preamps, and onboard DSP, it sets a new standard in sound quality—all intuitively controlled via a high-resolution touchscreen.
-
Class-Leading 136 dB Dynamic Range: Offers 4x the resolution of comparable interfaces, capturing every nuance.
-
Premium Neumann Preamps: Two extremely low-noise mic/line preamps with a massive 78 dB of gain, perfect for any microphone.
-
Intuitive Touchscreen Control: A high-resolution touchscreen allows you to control the onboard 4-channel mixer, DSP effects, and monitor mixes directly from the unit.
-
Onboard DSP Effects: Includes a fully parametric 4-band EQ and a 3-way dynamics processor (gate/compressor/limiter) per channel, plus a high-quality reverb.
-
Dual Output Technology: Record both your processed (wet) and unprocessed (dry) signals simultaneously via separate driver channels for a "safety" track.
-
Monitor Mission: Transforms the MT 48 into a high-end monitor controller for stereo, surround, and immersive audio setups (e.g., Dolby Atmos).
-
Pro Connectivity: Features ADAT, S/PDIF, AES67, MIDI, and is Dante Ready™ for full system integration.
-
Two Reference Headphone Amps: Two superb, ultra-low impedance headphone outputs for precise monitoring.
The Perfect Link in Your Neumann Studio
The MT 48 brings legendary Neumann quality to the digital realm. It is the ideal signal chain, ensuring no bottlenecks from the microphone diaphragm to your ear. Developed in close cooperation with Swiss manufacturer Merging Technologies, its high-precision AD converters provide a staggering 136 dB of dynamic range, allowing you to capture the full, uncompromised signal from your microphones.
A New User Experience
The MT 48 is an audio interface and digital mixing desk in one. Its high-resolution touchscreen allows for effortless, tactile control over all settings. Create up to four separate monitor mixes directly on the unit—no need for clunky computer software. Simply use your fingers to adjust pan pots, channel faders, and effects for the perfect, inspiring monitor mix.
Advanced DSP for Pro Workflows
Run your monitor mixes with sophisticated EQ and dynamics processing. Thanks to the unique Dual Output Technology, you can use these DSP effects for monitoring only, or print them while recording. This technology even lets you record the wet and dry signals at the same time, giving you an unprocessed backup for total flexibility in post-production.
Ready for Immersive Audio
The Monitor Mission transforms the MT 48 into a state-of-the-art monitor controller for any format, from mono to immersive. It provides precise trim and delay functions, room EQs, and flexible bass management, making it the ideal tool for mixing and mastering in surround.
Universal Connectivity
The MT 48 is fully equipped for the reference-class personal studio. It includes two mic/line preamps, two line/instrument inputs, and four monitor/line outputs. Expand its connectivity via ADAT, S/PDIF, and AES67. While it ships with RAVENNA/AES67 preinstalled, the MT 48 is Dante Ready™, with optional Dante firmware available from Neumann to integrate into live and installation workflows.
