Neumann Unveils the MT 48 Audio Interface:
The Perfect Link Between Microphones and Monitoring

Berlin, Germany, 3 April, 2023 – Neumann, one of the world’s premier manufacturers ofstudio equipment, is proud to announce the launch of its first-ever audio interface, theMT 48. This innovative product represents a significant milestone in the company's
nearly 100-year history, as Neumann expands its portfolio beyond microphones,
loudspeakers, and headphones to include the crucial interaction with the digital realm.
The MT 48 thus realizes reference class Neumann quality from input to output.
The MT 48 audio interface is the first product with Merging Technologies inside. The Swiss
Brand is famous among audio professionals for its expertise in premium AD/DA conversion
and networked audio. Based on
the acclaimed Merging Anubis
audio interface (which remainsavailable), the MT 48 features
additional USB and ADAT
connectivity, as well as a new userinterface, optimized for maximum
ease of use in studio and homestudio applications. With a dynamic range of 136 dB (A) and mic preamps with up to 78 dB
gain, the MT 48 sets a new benchmark in audio quality. It thus captures the full soundpotential of even the best microphones without any bottlenecks. The MT 48 has 4 analog

inputs and 8 analog output channels (4 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 extremely 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.
Additionally, the MT 48’s unique
Dual Output Technology allows
users to record the pre-FX and postFX signal simultaneously. Four
independent mixers, one for eachstereo output, allow for perfect monitoring, thus fostering creativity for inspired performances.
An intuitive touchscreen interface allows users to change mixer levels, pan positions, andother parameters with ease. Monitor mixes and all settings can be adjusted directly on theunit. 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,” states Portfolio Manager
Sebastian Schmitz. “By adding Merging Technologies’ expertise in AD/DA conversion anddigital audio to Neumann’s deep
knowledge in microphones andmonitoring, we have created a productthat is truly exceptional in terms ofsound quality, functionality, and ease ofuse.”
Neumann’s CEO Ralf Oehl adds: “As alegendary microphone manufacturer,
Neumann has always been synonymouswith excellence in recording technology.
Over the past decade, we have shownthat 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 soundsource to your ear.”3/3
