Neumann.Berlin Expands its Headphone portfolio with the
Open-Back NDH 30
NDH 30
The German studio specialist Neumann.Berlin today announced the launch of the NDH 30 open-back
headphone in India. Following the success of the award winning NDH 20, released in 2019, the NDH 30
is a reference-class studio headphone for the most demanding mixing and mastering applications in
both stereo and immersive formats. The NDH 30 reproduces the linear sound image of a Neumann
loudspeaker setup, perfectly calibrated via MA 1 Automatic Monitor Alignment, in a portable format.
While the NDH 30 retains the high-quality metal construction of the closed-back NDH 20, it is way
more than just an open-back version. The entire acoustic system is a new design, including optimized
and perfectly positioned dynamic drivers that rival the sonic resolution of planar magnetic
transducers. Harmonic distortion is extremely low and, thanks to frequency selective absorbers, the
NDH 30 has a remarkably even response across the entire audio spectrum.
"We wanted to create headphones that are totally reliable and gives you the confidence you need to
make the right decisions. The NDH 30 will tell you exactly if your bass is too loud or your vocal
needs de-essing," explains Mr. Vipin Pungalia, Country Manager & Director, Professional Segment,
Sennheiser Electronics India Pvt. Ltd said "The spatial resolution, too, is outstanding
because the
drivers are made to extremely low tolerances. And because the NDH 30 comes with an internally
balanced cable, which improves channel separation."
Long-term wearing comfort is excellent, of course, thanks to large, soft earpads. For easy
transportation, the NDH 30 is foldable. The NDH 30 is thus a portable alternative to a Neumann KH
line loudspeaker setup, offering full sound and mix compatibility.
At the same time, the NDH 30 is a reference in its own right for headphone compatibility, which is
paramount for commercial success, given today's listening habits. Its extraordinary spatial
resolution also recommends the NDH 30 for creating binaural mixes of immersive content, including
gaming and VR - rapidly growing markets.
"Neumann is quickly becoming the global reference in high-quality monitoring. From Oscar-awarded
blockbuster film scores to the most recent Grammy-winning 'Best Immersive Audio Album' - all mixed
on Neumann monitors. Our customers have been asking for a similar reference when mixing for
headphones. After all, headphones are becoming the dominant playback system among consumers - in
particular for immersive sound. The NDH 30 is our answer to those demands," summarizes Neumann's
CEO
Ralf Oehl.
The list price of the NDH 30 is INR 52,900 is available at your nearest authorised Neumann partner.
