From the lineage of Neumann's reference headphones and monitors
Derived from the expertise of Neumann studio monitors calibrated via MA 1, the NDH 30 Black Edition brings the "Neumann listening experience" to headphone format. It complements the NDH 20 (closed-back) as the open-back option, designed for precision and perfectly coherent with the KH series speakers to ensure continuity of judgment between mobility and studio environments.
For demanding engineers, creators, and gamers
Designed for mixing, mastering, and detailed editing, the NDH 30 immediately reveals muffled vocals, the need for de-essing, or spectral balance improvements. Its stereo image and depth of field also make it an excellent tool for headphone compatibility checks and creating binaural mixes dedicated to immersive content, virtual reality, and gaming.
Uncompromising precision, everywhere
Selective frequency absorbers control high-frequency energy to avoid biased mixing decisions. The 38 mm drivers operate as acoustic dipoles, offering fast dynamics and micro-definition that highlights reverberations, width, and depth of the soundstage.
Comfort and work reliability
The metal construction (aluminum and steel) guarantees robustness and long-term stability, while the foldable design facilitates transport. Extremely tight manufacturing tolerances ensure sound consistency between units, essential for reliable studio references.
Studio-oriented connectivity
The internally balanced detachable cable, equipped with a quarter-turn locking mechanism, reduces channel crosstalk and secures the connection during sessions. The 120-ohm impedance integrates perfectly with a quality audio interface or headphone amplifier to exploit the full dynamic potential.
