MT48 USB/Ethernet Audio Interface

 Beyond that, two premium-quality mic/line preamps, class-leading AD/DA, and enough I/O for a wide range of applications ensure pro-level sound quality and easy studio integration. You also get cutting-edge onboard DSP effects with flexible routing, plus an easy-to-read touchscreen for intuitive operation. The MT 48 not only gives you a pristine signal chain with zero bottlenecks, but it also supplies you with the state-of-the-art features you need to craft inspiring recordings. The Neumann name is as legendary as it gets in the studio world, and the MT 48 gives you everything you’d expect from an audio interface sporting the famous Neumann logo.

Delivers reference-class sound quality
The MT 48 is the first interface in its class to have the ability to capture the full dynamic range of Neumann’s acclaimed microphones, and it’s optimized especially for the company’s KH-series studio monitors and NDH-series headphones. This USB-C audio interface’s high-precision AD converters yield a jaw-dropping dynamic range of 136dB, and its low-noise mic preamps supply up to 78dB of gain. Crystal-clear analog circuitry, state-of-the-art AD/DA, superb onboard headphone amplifiers — the MT 48 sets a new benchmark for desktop audio interfaces.

Enough I/O for any application
No matter what type of project you’re working on, the Neumann MT 48 can handle it. Its two mic/line preamps deliver enough juice to accommodate any gain-hungry microphone, and its two line/instrument inputs yield true reference-quality sound. You also get four analog outputs for your studio monitors and patching in outboard gear, plus two excellent-sounding headphone outputs. Need more I/O? No problem. The MT 48 supports ADAT, S/PDIF, and AES67 digital expansion. You also get onboard MIDI I/O.

Flexible built-in DSP and intuitive touchscreen control
The MT 48 includes built-in DSP, providing you with a fully parametric 4-band EQ, a feature-rich dynamics processor for each channel, and a studio-quality reverb. You can control four separate monitor mixes — with effects — directly from the unit’s intuitive touchscreen. Moreover, you can use the MT 48’s DSP for monitoring only, print the effects while you’re recording, or do both simultaneously via the unit’s Direct Output Technology. Here at Sweetwater, we appreciate that the MT 48 allows you to create an unprocessed backup during tracking. After all, accidents do happen! With the MT 48, you’ll never lose a stellar performance because of an unfortunate EQ snafu.
