NEUMANN NDH 30 OPEN STUDIO HEADPHONES
The benchmark for portable sound
The NDH 30 is an open-back, circumaural headphone offering exceptional detail resolution and high-precision stereo imaging with ultra-sharp localization. Its linear soundstage and superior transient response recommend it for the most demanding applications such as mixing and mastering.
Perfect monitoring in Neumann quality – anywhere
The NDH 30 has been developed with the aim of finding everywhere, in the form of easily transportable headphones, the reference sound of Neumann studio monitors, perfectly calibrated by the Neumann MA 1. At the same time, the NDH 30 itself becomes a sound reference in terms of reproduction with headphones, an aspect that is essential today for success with the general public. Its superior sonic characteristics make the NDH 30 the first choice for mixing and mastering. And thanks to its great comfort during prolonged sessions, it is equally suitable for high-precision editing.
Impeccable build quality
Its high quality construction in aluminum and steel for the headband spring part as well as its pleasant grip are largely the same as those of the NDH 20. However, the NDH 30 is an open helmet, which means that its 38 mm dynamic transducers work as acoustic dipoles. This allows optimal exploitation of their sonic characteristics: extremely fast transient response, dry bass, uncolored mids and crystal clear highs. In other words, the NDH 30 reproduces the signal as it is, without any coloration of the sound.
Uncompromising precision
The NDH 30 owes its superior linearity, among other things, to frequency-selective absorbers eliminating the high-frequency hypertrophy that in many other headphones leads to incorrect mix decisions. For example, if a voice is muffled or needs a de-esser, the NDH 30 will accurately reveal it. The spatial resolution is impressive. The NDH 30 enables ultra-precise localization in the stereo panorama and highlights the depth of the mix. To minimize crosstalk between channels, the NDH 30 is supplied with a high quality, internally balanced cable.
The newest member of a successful family
Its high linearity and detail resolution make the NDH 30 perfectly compatible with an optimally calibrated monitor system thanks to the automatic alignment of Neumann monitors. Mixes started with the NDH 30 at home or on tour can easily be continued in the studio on the KH series loudspeakers – and vice versa. At the same time, the NDH 30 is recommended as a sound reference for headphones; after all, headphones have indeed long since become the mainstream listening system. The NDH 30 is ideal for checking compatibility with headphone listening and for creating binaural mixes of immersive content (especially for virtual reality and gaming). Since consistency and reliability are essential in mixing and mastering, the NDH 30 is manufactured to extremely tight tolerances so that all headphones sound perfectly identical.
