Neumann MT 48 US USB/AES67 Audio Interface

The Neumann MT 48 US USB/AES67 Audio Interface is a groundbreaking product in the audio equipment industry, designed for the discerning audio professional who demands unparalleled sound quality and versatility. This high-performance audio interface pushes the boundaries of sonic excellence, thanks to its superior converters, preamps, and headphone amplifiers. Developed in collaboration with Swiss manufacturer Merging Technologies, the MT 48 offers a staggering 136 dB dynamic range, setting new standards for audio clarity and precision. Internal DSP power allows for sophisticated monitor mixes with EQ and dynamics processing, all easily controlled via a sleek touchscreen interface.

The MT 48 is meticulously designed to integrate seamlessly within Neumann’s ecosystem, fully capturing the dynamic range of Neumann microphones and optimally pairing with the KH-Line of studio monitors and Neumann headphones. This ensures an ideal signal chain, free from any bottlenecks, delivering uncompromising sound quality from the microphone diaphragm right to your ears. Whether used as a personal studio workstation or as a standalone mixing console, the MT 48 is a versatile tool that meets the highest standards of audio fidelity, offering inspiring sound that fuels top-tier performances.

At the core of the MT 48’s prowess is its unmatched connectivity and expansion capabilities. It features two low-noise mic/line preamps with up to 78 dB gain, two line/instrument inputs, four monitor/line outputs, and two state-of-the-art headphone outputs. The device’s connectivity can be expanded through ADAT/S/PDIF and AES67, with a built-in MIDI interface to boot. The MT 48’s on-board DSP processing includes a fully parametric 4-band EQ and a 3-way dynamics processor per channel, along with high-quality reverb to fine-tune your sound. Moreover, the unique Dual Output Technology allows you to record both wet and dry signals simultaneously, providing an unprocessed backup if needed.
