The MT 48 brings Neumann quality to the digital workflow. It is the first audio interface in its class that is able to capture the full dynamic range of Neumann microphones and is optimally matched to the KH-Line of studio monitors and Neumann headphones. The result is an ideal signal chain without any bottlenecks: uncompromising sound quality from the microphone diaphragm to your ear. The MT 48 was developed in close cooperation with the Swiss manufacturer Merging Technologies, whose high-precision AD converters offer a staggering dynamic range of 136 dB. This gives the MT 48 four times the resolution of comparable audio interfaces.The MT 48 comes fully equipped for the reference-class personal studio: two extremely low-noise mic/line preamps with up to 78 dB 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 48s connectivity may be expanded via ADAT / S/PDIF and AES67; a MIDI interface is also integrated. Four separate monitor mixes can be controlled directly on the unit via touchscreen. On-board processing includes a fully parametric 4-band EQ and a 3-way dynamics processor (gate/compressor/limiter) per channel as well as a high-quality reverb. So musicians get inspiring sound for top performances. And there is still plenty of DSP power for future developments.Main Features:Class-leading AD-converter resolution with a dynamic range of 136 dB2 premium-quality mic/line preamps, 2 pristine line/instrument inputs4 line/monitor outputs2 ultra-low impedance headphone outputs with adjustable crossfeedADAT / S/PDIF optical I/O, AES67, MIDI/GPIOTwo driver outputs per input channel for pre-FX and/or post-FX recordingIntuitive touchscreen user interfaceSpecifications:Mic Inputs 1 -2:Dynamic Range: 136 dB-AEquivalent Input Noise (150 Ohm): -128 dBu-AInput Impedance: 10 kGain Range: 12+78 dB in 0.5 dB steps or 0.1 dB (fine)Pad: 12 dB/24 dBMax.
