Godsend
Daniel Bekteshi 04.11.2023
Sounds better than you would ever expect. Upgrading from the UAD Apollo Twin sounds like I just removed a blanket over my speakers. A lot more clarity but not even a hit of harshness. Dynamic range on mic inputs is insane and the quality sounds like it should be coming from outboard gear, not such a little box. The built in effects do just about anything I need, sometimes simpler is the way to go, an eq, compressor, gate, limiter and reverb bundle handles just about 99% of scenarios. Nothing more to say. This little box is a godsend.

Top Quality Interface

I had the Focusrite 4i4 for a few years and actually managed to become a full time producer with it. But I knew an upgrade was due as I was preparing to start recording in my home studio instead of renting studios. I decided to take the leap in price and move a few leagues above rather than getting something like a Babyface Pro and went for the MT48
After using it for the past 3 months, I’m happy to say it’s been one of the best decisions I made while building my home studio. I’ve had no issues at all. Before buying, I was a bit worried about the touchscreen and thought it might hurt my workflow, but I got used to it within minutes.
And on top of all that, it sounds amazing. I hear the biggest difference when recording bass guitar - it almost feels like I barely need to process it
The only downside I’d say is that at this price point, I wish it came with at least 6 or 8 inputs. At times, having only 4 inputs can be a bit limiting.

Superb sound and quality
dondi 05.05.2024
After using the RME Fireface 800 in my home studio for 10 years, I decided to elevate the quality of my recordings and listening experience. Given that Neumann is the company I trust for microphones and audio monitors, and after considering all the reviews, I decided to switch to the MT 48 interface. Immediately, the quality of my listening experience was raised to a higher standard, as well as the quality of the recorded tracks themselves. The device is user-friendly and everything it offers works excellently. The reverb it has isn't of the highest quality, but it's not intended for recording; it just adds to the singer's experience while recording. The only thing that surprised me was that the Clock option wasn't set to "internal" by default, causing the device to produce strange sounds when I first connected it. However, Thomann's customer service understood the issue and suggested I check the clock settings. All in all, I am extremely pleased with the sound.

Amazing Audio Interface
Lorenzo Lorentu 03.10.2023
This Neumann interface sounds absolutely amazing, tones of gain makes it hard to clip, super easy way an intuitive to use, love the touchscreen.
Only problem that I encounter is that it tends to overheat quite easily, the fan will help a lot if you put it on max, but makes it quite noisy; so I usually just turn the fan down when I record.
