Neumann MT 48 - Hear What the Hype Is

⬇️ Links ⬇️

In this video I show you around the Neumann MT 48 audio interface including its features, the touch screen, onboard effects, and everything that makes this interface so cool. I also demo a song I recorded using the MT 48 and the Neumann U87 microphone. This is the first audio interface from Neumann, and the specs are pretty incredible including a dynamic range of 136dB and AD/DA conversion from Merging Technologies.

The interface paired with the U87 mic sounds smooth and in your face. Just hearing how clean the raw vocals are, is very impressive. Makes me want to jump back to recording.

Great job Sanjay. It’s funny that I’ve watched a couple videos on the MT, and this is the first time I’ve understood the practical reasons why it’s a solid choice (maybe not for budget people) for someone who wants a compact high end setup.

Sounds gorgeous. Nothing less to be expected from Neumann. However - I would expect that for that price you get at least 8 channels/independent inputs. Maybe not all with mic in, but 8x line in - for the price tag, in the similar range you can find Apollo, RME etc. Amazing device for a composer/songwriter, but not so much for the multitracking studio.

The MT48 is a piece of equipment that very simply does what you expect it to do. I just wanted a plug and play mobile setup to track and mix outside of my full blown studio. I plugged the MT 48 into my Macbook Pro and away I went. Very little trouble shooting and little need to refer to the manual. The preamps are beyond "good enough" and the dynamic range is a big plus and gives a person more latitude when adjusting gain levels. The EQ is very surgical as is the dynamics. You can print both raw and track with effects. The reverb is okay for tracking ambience but won't print. This is a great quality tool that in and off itself adds no modeled/fake mojo. If you have good mics with character you will appreciate them with this box. You will get clean tracks that you mix to taste and bring out the best of your DAW or analog console. Plain and simple-- clean preamps and prints. If you do a deep dive this box will do a whole lot more. I just don't need more. When I am on the go, I want to just plug and play if I am inspired.

Love it, Sanjay! I just went out and bought one. This video definitely made a positive difference in my decision. Many thanks. BTW, I would love to see a video of your all-Neumann setup.

more headroom than the apollo x4, the pre amps are louder, and the “snaps” feature makes working in the mt48 quick.
I can’t recommend it enough, has been my favorite desktop interface.

I got a Merging Hapi and combined it with a Neumann MT48. Awesome Duo!! The Ravenna Network is so great!! The Preamps and the Converters are out of this world! Neumann got hte Merging Company and redesigned their Anubis to make it more customers friendly. and thats the reason why i switched from UA apollo to merging/neumann!

Has an extremely warm and rounded sound very typical of Neumann. Brilliant review

[siddharthst]

Getting back to watching ur videos on a regular basis after i decided i wanted a career change, now saving up n waiting to pursue a degree in music production

😍❤️‍🔥🎶I loooove how you sang this song. How you made “Always Be My Baby” your song is just SO YOU! You have the ability to make songs as if they were originally yours and that’s such a special gift! Thank you for this and thank you for throwing me into the nostalgic period which were school dances! 😅 woah!

[Miko]

Looks like an amazing piece of gear, but hardly suited for the avg home studio (pricewise), so I'll stick to my Focusrite Scarlet 4i4 (3rd gen) for now. Thanks for the informative video, Sanjay! Wishing you a lovely festive season! Fondly, Michael 😊🎄

This is really tempting to make the jump to. I think a missed opportunity for Neumann is not adding functionality for the MA-1 Software to implement frequency response curves to the output of the interface. I'd love to be able to use MA-1 to tune my Genelecs along with my Neumann KH80s, but for now I need to use Sonarworks to do so.

I Just made a video about this last week! Im glad you emphasized the dynamic range. It's amazing. Ciao!

Of course Neumann will say it compliments their other products as far as quality, this is by far its biggest selling point.
As for audio quality, Most if not all pro modern audio interfaces specifications suggest any artifacts are way out of what the human ear can preserve. So, in other words, from a curtain tier and up (if there are no obvious defects in design) they "sound" the same.

[geekmastermind]

Wow, looks and sounds fantastic. I'd love to see a video re: the all-Neumann studio you've got set up.

[margaretchristo]

Thank you for the complete and detailed description of the MT 48 interface. I loved listening to your song. What an amazing voice!

[PylonRecordsdotcom]

You have done a great job putting together an all Neuman studio, which is a German company that also made vinyl record cutting lathes, that pretty much every record you heard has cut on that, the only thing missing is in your studio to make it all German is to switch to Cubase or Bitwig. Abelton just does something to audio that is not pleasant. Cubase is very open system and with that killer set up, you going to be blown away. Love your channel, I am so glad you reviewing this converter, people need to know about sound, just look at the chaos Akai MPC has caused with the poor converters on their sampler machines. Thank You!

[diversekcox]

I need one. I’ve been rocking my Komplete interface since 2015. Thank you for this video

[eldraque]

quality of your audio is next level, recorded using the MT48 and the U87?

[tonywize]

It's about time this brand made this type of product. I knew of but had forgotten of how many different amazing microphones they had. Didn't know about the speakers at all.
Being almost impossible to clip is mind blowing.
The way this review is put together is perfect 🤌🏾
