MT48 Mic Preamps have significantly more gain available than any other comparable interface. For example, Shure SM7B normally requires 100% input gain from my apollo, whereas the Neumann sounds way louder & clearer at 50-60% gain levels. It’s a beast 🔥
If a company who didn’t necessarily make themselves legendary with their high end products (a Focusrite, MOTU, Behringer, etc.) released an interface with this exact I/O, a touch screen, “world class pre’s” (which these are), and a couple other ground breaking features, what would THEIR price have to be?

Some features, 10% of the owners care about but 90% of the features here are exactly what someone like myself has dreamt of being in one box for ages. As a company, they saw an opening that only they could’ve taken… brilliant thinking. I think they will sell a crap ton of these. It’s priced really well… but not for all of course. Not even for me personally lol … but I can def tell a fine wine when I taste it and this one is gonna be Yuhhhhhmm 🎉 to be honest, I’m most excited to see how this impacts the new bar. In 7 years, products very similar to this will be the new budget 2i2 because of these types of product releases today. Bravo fellas.
People in my circles were certainly talking about the Anubis before. But this has some key differences that make way more sense for more users. Anubis is much more of a networked audio device, and this MT 48 is much more of a general audio interface. But the high quality preamps and converters are in both devices.
That’s what brands like Neumann do. Pay influencers to push their products like crack. I’ll be impressed if Reid ditches his UAD setup for this interface.
For all the people saying it's overpriced it's actually quite the opposite it's a far cheaper alternative for people who want mastering quality AD/DA converters and a more than capable interface while also adding a bunch of other features. If you think this is expensive go look at Lynx, Aurora, or Antelopes AD/DA converters and you'll see what im talking about and they offer far less
@@kingpazIf I’m taking a Toyota over a Benz then I’m taking the RME Babyface Pro FS over the Neumann all day! Yes, this may have superior “converters” but here are some of my concerns. For one: it has a slow touch screen response , #2 it has a touch screen, #3 latency is trash, #4 not as reliable longterm but the features are dope though but I’m all about reliability and functionality over luxury. RME gives you what you need just a good audio interface overall..while the Neumann it’s about features and luxury. Different strokes for different folks. RME has great drivers. If not the best in the game for over 23 years already crazy but that’s a fact.

In minute 7:24 you said we can record reverb effect in a separate channel, while MT48 user manual states the following: (reverb is for monitoring purposes only, i.e. to give singers and musicians a more inspiring sound in their headphones. Reverb is not recorded, not even in the PostFX), so how can we record reverb without the need for DAW reverb? Second question please, do you have any measurements of latency time form the MT48 to headphone if I applied reverb FX? Thank you.

This review is basically an advertisement in my opinion as it doesn't have side-by-side comparison of an average interface, like a Focusrite, same signal recorded, shown on its own, in mix raw without EQ/compression/saturation and in mix heavily saturated and compressed (as it usually brings out some not so evident harshness). So does it really makes a huge difference compared to a market average.

It's honestly amazing, I really want to buy it because of the controls you get to have over the settings, and as a singer it is great for me but it's too expensive. I don't know, but if I buy it I'll have it for a long time.
Hi Reid! Do you have any insight between the mic pres and AD differences of the MT48 and the Titan? I am going to buy one or the other and those two are main factors for me. There are other obvious factors (desktop vs 19", built in effects, I/O, MIDI...) but those two factors are on the top of priorities. Thank you!
Such a beautiful, well designed product. Blows my mind that the UI has such noticeable latency. IMHO the very first iPhone solved this. I don't understand how anyone signed off on a premium device in today's world, especially in an industry so sensitive to the idea of latency, that has visible latency to every interaction. Unbelievable. I want to want one, but that latency hurts my soul.
It worked surprisingly well for me considering I’m a puppet with fabric hands! Also the included Neumann app is another excellent way to adjust your settings 👍
@@ReidStefanMusic No doubt, it looks amazing and I take for granted that the components and sound quality are top shelf. I just don't understand why it has more visual latency than some devices made 20+ years ago? You say in the video that it feels responsive, but you can clearly be seen second-guessing some of your inputs because they take so long to register that you don't seem to be sure if you successfully pushed the button. This is obvious in other videos from other channels too. It's like the whole UI runs at 15fps with a half a second delay. Bizarre. And TBH, while I'm nitpicking, why a device at this price point can't afford to have a screen with as many pixels as a $50 Android phone?.. And then there's that fan..? Some very odd decisions were made here...
@@ArielTavori my fabric puppet hands are not the best real-world example on camera. See the Karra video I linked in the description for footage of a human touching the MT48 it’s very responsive
@@ReidStefanMusic I appreciate the response and what you are saying, but you seem to be missing my point. The latency I'm referring to is visible on knob turns as well, and is clearly visible on every single interaction including the Produce Like A Pro video straight from the Neumann booth at NAMM. I'm really not sure how it's not obvious to you? Every single time anyone interacts with this thing, they have time to pull their hand away from it, (and often hesitate because they themselves aren't sure it registered) before it finally responds. It's not subtle, and I wouldn't consider it acceptable on a $50 Behringer device.
Following outside discussions on this. Yes you can, since it is as well a 48 x channel Mixer where you have EQ, Dynamics (Gate, Compression, Limiter) and Reverb on every channel. So the ADAT IO populates those channels so they have those FX.
@@ReidStefanMusic1) autotune native adds huge latency initself regardless of buffer size 2) any latency inducing plugs add latency too. Native autotune is a big no-no.
Under the Settings > USB IO you will find an option that is named "Mix Bus Return" once activated, it will display the channel numbers to record back in the output signal mirror. It’s something like “channels 23-24”
What about Sonarworks SoundID? It would be a shame if the benefits of Sonarworks SoundID weren't available built-in (like the original "Merging Technologies Anubis" version)
I really wish Nuemann allowed the touch screen controls via an iPhone or iPad, for those of us that record ourselves across the room, away from our computers. DAW manufacturers all have remote control features, but no interface has done it, yet, to my knowledge, so I've still got to walk back and forth to get my gain staging correct.
There’s a lot of great features here, but I’m skeptical overall as an alternative to Apollo. The lag on that screen is atrocious and most features seem negligible or can be worked around.
@@ReidStefanMusicI think the touch screen should be removed entirely (at least have the option), just keep it as software on your pc monitor. It’ll be cheaper, less heat, no flickering..overall less issues.
Hi bro! I'm wondering about what you said at [1:48] "you can by-pass those internal preamps by just using the quarter-inch jack instead of the XLR jack". Are you sure of that?

Let me know your thoughts. Thank you.
Friend please I need help, I can't find how to record pos effects I use fl studio 21 and windows 11 system I have tried but I can't find the option I have seen almost all the tutorials but no one explains that section well and could you help me please thank you
This will definitely provoke a reaction from UAD. Even if I would love to buy this Neumann Interface, I think I will wait a little bit more to see what happen, cause I'm sure something is gonna happen. I have a feeling a new Apollo generation is coming.
You can’t if you’re using an XLR cable, but if you Connect a line level source using the quarter inch part of the combo jack it bypasses the built-in preamps and only uses the converters and DSP
There is no "but RME". Neumann MT 48 and RME Digiface AES are both 2000$/€ interfaces. MT 48 has better dynamic range, better gain range, better signal to noise ratio, ridiculously better output impedances and so on.. RME can't compete. Even tho RME is already pretty good. But Neumann/MT did it better
Also Neumann is simply taking what Merging already had and improve it a little bit. This interface is 90% thanks to Merging Technologies not Neumann on its own 😊
@@joseluishernandezseptien ADI-Pro SE is a digital converter not an audio interface.. so? "Also Neumann is simply.. bla bla" so what? What's the arguement there? Still no ".. but RME" lol 😊😳
@@Neekzu I think you have not even looked at the RME ADI-2/4 Pro SE and confused it with the digital interface RME ADI-2 DAC. But it is ok. You can go on with your life and have a nice day :)
how the preamps are designed to work well with neumann microphones?! if the interface detects a microphone from another brand ... it instantly decreases the preamp quality ... true story
You'll never keep up with interfaces, converters and other digital junk, that's why I still use my Tascam 688 cassette, Ensoniq ASR-10 and my old nasty sounding Joe Meek twin Q channel strip...It just sounds better to me...
greetings from Spain and congratulations on the channel!!!🎉 very good interface. but it has the same problem as the anubis. they are very very difficult to use because of their complexity. they are unintuitive and require a steep learning curve. and as the saying goes, time is gold !!!😂😂
The flattering Is a bit too much. You Lost me when you talk about responsive touch screen and screen take 200ms ti select a band of the eq. So i must questioni, this Is a biased review by the fact they gift the audio card for free in charge of a review?
Yes UAD has more DSP effects, but the mic preamps, converters, input and output sound quality is better on Neumann. Also neumann preamps have 2x more gain available for needy dynamic mics like SM7B
@@ReidStefanMusic Not to mention the Headphone Amps where better quality means a better mix/master as well...Neumann knocked it out of the ballpark by bringing a better design to MT!

is there a sleep mode or screen saver on it?
No it just displays whatever page you leave it on
nice ad lol
tell us how you really feel 😂
Friend please I need help, I can't find how to record pos effects I use fl studio 21 and windows 11 system I have tried but I can't find the option I have seen almost all the tutorials but no one explains that section well and could you help me please thank you
the mkii version gonna need a more responsive screen methinks.
beautiful, but 2k its a pass for me
Sooo UAD goes bye bye?
UAD Apollo has lower sound quality in the conversion and preamps. But UAD offer more DSP plugins to purchase than Neumann
This will definitely provoke a reaction from UAD. Even if I would love to buy this Neumann Interface, I think I will wait a little bit more to see what happen, cause I'm sure something is gonna happen. I have a feeling a new Apollo generation is coming.
How Much??
1,800
@@dereklapharaoh7838 oof, my wallet
@@fejisticgames honestly I don’t think it’s worth the price you’re only buying into the nuemann name
@@dereklapharaoh7838Not that long ago they said $1500 which was high but 1800 after taxes is close to 2k

I know plenty of hit songs record on far less. If it’s a hit song it don’t matter what you use.
Yeah but if I make a song that becomes a hit I'd prefer that it were recorded to the best of my ability.
I am wondering which have better sound?? apogee symphony desktop or Neumann???does anybody know?
The Neumann MT 48 has the better sound. Specs on paper also indicate that
looks dope but pricey ouuuu wee
Lynx Hilo did a very similar touch screen first
For $1800 this is NO WHERE near good enough!
😍😍😍😍
I was thinking this thing would be 1k…I was wrong
Ох кайф, выглядит очень хорошо, стоит дорого)
But it is…Neumanns logo on an Anubis.
They updated the Anubis with USB-C connectivity, improved power supply, and a few other modernizations beyond just the logo
I don't think you can bypass the preamps. I asked.
You can’t if you’re using an XLR cable, but if you Connect a line level source using the quarter inch part of the combo jack it bypasses the built-in preamps and only uses the converters and DSP
@@ReidStefanMusic I am pretty sure that is wrong. Another popular video on youtube tested it and I asked them. No PreAmp skipping.
I was fixing to order myself a Neumann mic, guess I better add this interface to muh list.
If they wana set a Standard when it comes to Interfaces they gotta try to Compete with Focusrite or UAD 😂 😂 Good luck
Can you disclose next time if review is sponsored, since this really smells like an ad.
It’s an ad, and it has already been disclosed as you can see by the paid promotion badge
“It blows everything out of the water….but RME*”
There is no "but RME". Neumann MT 48 and RME Digiface AES are both 2000$/€ interfaces. MT 48 has better dynamic range, better gain range, better signal to noise ratio, ridiculously better output impedances and so on.. RME can't compete. Even tho RME is already pretty good. But Neumann/MT did it better
@@Neekzu ADI-Pro SE uses ESS 9038 and MT48 uses ESS 9026 😳 which is an old converter - less resolving
Also Neumann is simply taking what Merging already had and improve it a little bit. This interface is 90% thanks to Merging Technologies not Neumann on its own 😊
@@joseluishernandezseptien ADI-Pro SE is a digital converter not an audio interface.. so? "Also Neumann is simply.. bla bla" so what? What's the arguement there?
Still no ".. but RME" lol 😊😳
@@Neekzu I think you have not even looked at the RME ADI-2/4 Pro SE and confused it with the digital interface RME ADI-2 DAC. But it is ok. You can go on with your life and have a nice day :)
The screen lag looks terrible though.
Thats the MERGING AUDIO ANUBIS Interface recoloured and with a NEUMANN stamp on it. 🤷♂🤷♂
They added a few new features, but essentially you’re correct
how the preamps are designed to work well with neumann microphones?! if the interface detects a microphone from another brand ... it instantly decreases the preamp quality ... true story
Neve 88M preamp sounds better than that interface in my opinion, I compared it. Neumann sounds good and clean, but the Neve 88M sounds big and fat.
You'll never keep up with interfaces, converters and other digital junk, that's why I still use my Tascam 688 cassette, Ensoniq ASR-10 and my old nasty sounding Joe Meek twin Q channel strip...It just sounds better to me...
greetings from Spain and congratulations on the channel!!!🎉
very good interface. but it has the same problem as the anubis. they are very very difficult to use because of their complexity. they are unintuitive and require a steep learning curve. and as the saying goes, time is gold !!!😂😂
I didn’t read any manuals or watch tutorials videos before using it, and I had no confusion anywhere along the way 🤷🏼♂️
will have to try then👍🏻✌🏻🎧
rebranded Anubis ;)
He glazin
Lots of cumbersome menu diving and a slow touch screen. Go rme
Godtier product.
The flattering Is a bit too much. You Lost me when you talk about responsive touch screen and screen take 200ms ti select a band of the eq. So i must questioni, this Is a biased review by the fact they gift the audio card for free in charge of a review?
2000😂😂😂
Why gloves? Oh…never mind.
First
Uad better
Yes UAD has more DSP effects, but the mic preamps, converters, input and output sound quality is better on Neumann. Also neumann preamps have 2x more gain available for needy dynamic mics like SM7B
@@ReidStefanMusic Not to mention the Headphone Amps where better quality means a better mix/master as well...Neumann knocked it out of the ballpark by bringing a better design to MT!
This is the same as every new interface review ever made. Blah blah blah
Sounds very paid and scripted
I’ll just stick to SSL
me thinking he'd say the price is not more than $100 🥲, this is not for us.
