Neumann unveils first audio interface
- Details
The MT 48 audio interface is the first product with Merging Technologies inside. Based on the Merging Anubis audio interface (which remains available), the MT 48 features additional USB and ADAT connectivity, as well as a new user interface, optimised for maximum ease of use in studio and home studio applications. The MT 48 has four analogue inputs and eight analogue output channels (four stereo outputs) and is expandable via ADAT (switchable to S/PDIF) and AES67. MIDI I/O is included as well.
The interface also boasts two powerful headphone amplifiers with ultra-low output impedance, driving any headphones to peak performance. Onboard DSP effects include sophisticated EQ, complex dynamics processing, and reverb.
“The MT 48 represents a major step forward for Neumann,” states portfolio manager Sebastian Schmitz. “By adding Merging Technologies’ expertise in AD/DA conversion and digital audio to Neumann’s deep knowledge in microphones and monitoring, we have created a product that is truly exceptional in terms of sound quality, functionality, and ease of use.”
Neumann’s CEO Ralf Oehl adds: “As a legendary microphone manufacturer, Neumann has always been synonymous with excellence in recording technology. Over the past decade, we have shown that Neumann can bring the same uncompromising quality to loudspeakers and headphones. The MT 48 completes the ideal signal chain: finally, you can have Neumann quality throughout, from the sound source to your ear.”
The MT 48 audio interface will be on display at NAMM 2023 and will be available from Neumann dealers worldwide in a few weeks.
