The award-winning Neumann NDH 30 is a circumaural, open-back headphone that delivers impeccable detail resolution and precise stereo imaging with razor-sharp focus. Boasting a linear soundstage, and unparalleled transient response, the NDH 30 can handle the most demanding mixing and mastering sessions.
Perfect Monitoring in Neumann Quality - Everywhere
Designed with the goal of making the reference sound of a perfectly calibrated Neumann studio monitor setup available to take anywhere in the form of an easily portable headphone, the Neumann NDH 30's superior sound attributes make them the first choice for mixing and mastering applications. With an incredibly comfortable design, this headphone provides long-term comfort during extended sessions and high-precision editing.
The NDH 30's robust spring steel and aluminum construction, along with it's impressive handling characteristics are mostly the same as it's smaller brother, the NDH 20, instead, utilizing an open-back design. This allows the NDH 30s to deliver incredibly fast transient response, clean bass, uncolored midrange, and articulate highs - sound with no coloration, reproducing the signal 1:1.
Uncompromising Precision
The NDH 30 owes its superior linearity, among other things, to frequency-selective absorbers that eliminate the overemphasis in the high frequencies that leads to incorrect mixing decisions in many other headphones. For example, the NDH 30 will accurately reveal whether a voice sounds muffled or needs a de-esser.
Thanks to frequency-selective absorbers, the NDH 30 prevents high frequencies from becoming overemphasized, delivering superior linearity so you can make mixing decisions with confidence - where other headphones with hyped high frequencies can lead to incorrect mixing decisions.
Boasting impressive spatial resolution, the NDH 30 enables razor-sharp focus in the stereo field, and reproduces the depth of a mix beautifully. The NDH 30 employs a high-quality, internally balanced, cloth-covered cable to minimize channel crosstalk.
Part of a Successful Family
The NDH 30 is perfectly compatible with a loudspeaker system that has been calibrated with the Neumann Automatically Monitor Alignment, thanks to it's impressive linearity and detail resolution. Mixes started at home or on location using the NDH 30 can be seamlessly continued in the studio with KG-Line Loudspeakers, and vice-versa. Headphones have become a popular playback system for consumers, and the NDH30 is also perfect as a headphone sound reference - perfect for checking headphone compatibility and creating immersive binaural mixes for content like VR and gaming. Consistency and reliability are crucial in mixing and mastering, so the NDH 30 is manufactured to exacting tolerances, so each pair sounds identical to the next.
