With extensive connectivity (ADAT, S/PDIF, AES67, USB, and Dante Ready™ for network integration), console-quality onboard DSP effects, and an integrated SD multitrack recorder, the MT 48 U delivers impeccable sound quality and an optimized workflow for studio, stage, and broadcast. Its intuitive touchscreen and remote control via Universal Control guarantee maximum ease of use.

Neumann MT 48 U: Digital Audio Excellence Redefined for Professional Mastering and Mixing
The Neumann MT 48 U is more than just an audio interface; it's a nerve centre for professional audio workflows, designed for absolute sonic fidelity and unprecedented integration. Representing the evolution of the renowned MT series, this 'U' version natively integrates the Dante option for state-of-the-art network connectivity.

Unrivalled sonic accuracy:
The result of a collaboration with a renowned Swiss manufacturer, the MT 48 U excels with its high-precision AN/NA conversion, offering an impressive dynamic range of 130dB. Its exceptional-quality, ultra-low-noise XMAX-Remote microphone preamps guarantee crystal-clear capture of the slightest nuances, with an extended gain range to suit all sources, from the most discreet to the most powerful. 32-bit floating-point DSP processing ensures impeccable audio quality throughout.

An Arsenal of Onboard Audio Processing:
The MT 48 U puts an arsenal of console-quality audio processors and effects at your fingertips, including meticulous digital modelling of EQs, compressors, limiters and reverbs. The dynamic Fat Channel features 4 parametric EQs, 4 compressors/limiters and 3 delays, allowing you to sculpt your sound with surgical precision. These DSP effects are directly integrated, reducing latency and freeing up the power of your computer.

Extensive connectivity and Dante preparation:
With extensive I/O including ADAT, S/PDIF, MIDI/GPIO, RAVENNA/AES67, the MT 48 U is ready for any environment. Dante Ready™ integration positions it at the forefront of professional audio network connectivity, enabling unrivalled flexibility for broadcast and complex installations.

Autonomous Recording and Streamlined Workflow:
A distinctive feature of the MT 48 U is its built-in SD multitrack recorder. You can record every channel and every mix directly to SD card, providing a secure, stand-alone recording solution without the need for a computer. Mixing and console management can be accessed remotely, and one-click virtual balance, coupled with seamless compatibility with Studio One Pro and leading STANs, streamlines workflow considerably.

Comfort and intuitive control:
The MT 48 U's user interface is designed to maximise comfort and efficiency. Its intuitive, high-contrast touchscreen offers quick, direct control of all parameters. What's more, the ability to mix and manage the console remotely via Universal Control ensures maximum operational flexibility.

The Neumann MT 48 U is the ideal tool for sound engineers, producers and musicians who demand uncompromising audio quality, versatile processing power and advanced integration into the most demanding digital environments, from studio to mastering.

Swiss precision:
The MT 48 was developed in close collaboration with Swiss manufacturer Merging Technologies, whose high-precision analogue converters deliver a staggering 136dB dynamic range. This gives the MT 48 four times the resolution of comparable audio interfaces.

Fully equipped for the reference-class personal studio:
The MT 48 offers two ultra-low noise mic/line preamps with up to 78dB gain, two line/instrument inputs, four monitor/line outputs and two superb headphone outputs, each with state-of-the-art AD/DA converters. The MT 48's connectivity can be extended via ADAT / S/PDIF and AES67; a MIDI interface is also integrated.

Intuitive touch-screen control:
Four separate monitor mixes can be controlled directly on the unit via a touchscreen. Integrated processing includes a fully parametric 4-band EQ and a 3-way dynamics processor (gate/compressor/limiter) per channel, plus high-quality reverb. Musicians benefit from an inspiring sound for high-level performances.

Dual output technology:
You can use the MT 48's DSP processing for monitoring only, or you can print effects while recording. Or both at the same time! Thanks to unique dual-output technology, signals can be recorded simultaneously pre- and post-effects. So, if necessary, you can fall back on an unprocessed backup.

The MT 48 brings Neumann quality to the digital workflow. It is the first audio interface in its class capable of capturing the full dynamic range of Neumann microphones, and is perfectly matched to the KH-Line range of studio monitors and Neumann headphones. The result is an ideal signal chain with no bottlenecks: uncompromising sound quality from the microphone diaphragm to your ear.
