Headphone monitoring has always been a debated topic in audio production. Some engineers find it convenient, but many remain concerned about accurately judging sound positioning, depth, and vocal balance compared to traditional studio monitors. Headphones are often considered an alternative solution, yet when moving between spaces, working in shared environments, or lacking a properly treated studio, they become the only viable option. As immersive audio formats like Dolby Atmos become increasingly common, simulating spatial sound through headphones has become essential.

Neumann’s RIME (Reference Immersive Monitoring Environment) integrates perfectly with NDH headphones, providing a precise reference monitoring experience even without a large mixing room. With accurate 3D sound field reproduction, this system enables recording engineers, producers, and broadcast professionals to control every audio detail in mobile environments or home studios.

When recording, film production, or broadcast work is no longer confined to a fixed studio, a precise mobile monitoring solution becomes essential. Neumann’s RIME technology addresses this need perfectly, delivering a reference monitoring experience regardless of changing work environments.
