The MT 48 audio interface is the first joint venture between Neumann and Merging Technologies.
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. With a dynamic range of 136dB (A) and mic preamps with up to 78dB gain, the MT 48 sports 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 also provided.
The interface also boasts two powerful headphone amplifiers with ultra-low output impedance. Onboard DSP effects include EQ, complex dynamics processing, and reverb. Additionally, the MT 48’s Dual Output Technology allows users to record pre-FX and post-FX signal simultaneously.
Four independent mixers, one for each stereo output, allow flexible monitoring, while an intuitive touchscreen interface provides control over mixer levels, pan positions, and other parameters. Monitor mixes and all settings can be adjusted directly on the unit. For users wishing to operate the MT 48 from their computer or tablet, a Remote Control App and browser-based Web Control are available.
‘The MT 48 represents a major step forward for Neumann,’ says 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 has always been synonymous with excellence in recording technology,’ adds Neumann CEO Ralf Oehl. ‘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.’
