The Neumann MT 48 is an audio interface with an integrated mixer and DSP processing, allowing users to monitor input signals with extremely low latency during recording. Rather than relying entirely on monitoring through a DAW, the MT 48 handles monitoring within the interface and supports separate mixes for recording engineers and performers.

The Neumann U 87 Ai is a widely used large-diaphragm condenser microphone in professional recording environments. Its three selectable polar patterns, switchable 10 dB pad and high-pass filter support a range of applications, including vocal, speech and instrument recording. What makes the U 87 Ai a notable choice for studio work?

The Neumann KM 184 is a small-diaphragm condenser microphone widely used for recording acoustic instruments, particularly acoustic guitar. Its consistent cardioid polar pattern, balanced frequency response and accurate transient reproduction make it well suited to capturing string articulation, body resonance and performance dynamics. But what makes the KM 184 an effective choice for professional acoustic guitar recording?

The Neumann TLM 107 is a large-diaphragm condenser microphone designed for professional recording applications. Featuring five selectable polar patterns, transformerless circuitry and excellent high-SPL handling, it offers remarkable versatility for vocals and instruments. Its low self-noise, balanced frequency response and flexible onboard controls make it suitable for recording environments where accuracy and adaptability are essential.

Neumann has released RIME 1.5, an update to its Reference Immersive Monitoring Environment software designed for immersive audio monitoring through headphones. The new version introduces improved bass response, greater transient accuracy, 3DOF head tracking and additional multichannel formats. It also expands monitoring controls and introduces a standalone macOS application, offering greater flexibility for professional audio production workflows.

The Neumann KH 80 DSP is a compact two-way active studio monitor and the first model in Neumann's KH series to incorporate digital signal processing. Featuring a 4-inch woofer, precision-engineered drivers and advanced DSP correction, it delivers remarkable clarity, accurate stereo imaging and impressive bass performance, making it suitable for desktop monitoring, small studios and space-limited professional installations.

The Neumann KH 120 II is an updated version of the original KH 120 nearfield monitor, incorporating technologies developed for the KH 150. Featuring a two-way active design, integrated DSP and compatibility with Neumann's MA 1 room alignment system, the KH 120 II delivers accurate frequency response, low distortion and impressive bass performance in a compact enclosure.

The Neumann TLM 102 is a compact large-diaphragm condenser microphone featuring a fixed cardioid polar pattern and transformerless circuitry. Designed primarily for vocal recording in professional and project studios, it can also handle sound pressure levels up to 144 dB SPL, making it suitable for various instruments, including acoustic guitar, percussion and guitar amplifiers.

Neumann is widely known for microphones and, more recently, studio monitors and headphones, but the company also manufactured mixing consoles with high-quality microphone preamps from the 1960s to the 1990s. The V 402 marks Neumann's first standalone microphone preamp, combining two preamp channels, instrument inputs and an integrated headphone amplifier in a substantial studio-focused design.
