Neumann Launches NDH 20 Studio Headphone

Neumann has launched its first ever headphones NDH 20 and the company is now ready to bring it to India.

The Neumann NDH 20 is a closed-back studio headphone combining excellent isolation with the carefully balanced sound image and outstanding resolution users would expect from a Neumann product. It is thus ideally suited for monitoring, editing and mixing tasks, even in loud and noisy environments.

Speaking at the launch Vipin Pungalia, Director, Professional Segment at Sennheiser Electronics India, said, “NDH 20 has received a phenomenal response globally and we are expecting a similar response in India. The entry of Neumann in the headphone segment is a great news for the Neumann patrons in the country. The unsurpassed sound quality of NDH 20 makes it a best-fit for mixing purposes and it’s worth the investment. The NDH 20 is a dream come true: reliable studio-grade monitoring – even on the road.”

The NDH 20’s newly designed 38-mm drivers with high-gauss neodymium magnets ensure high sensitivity and low distortion. In other words, the NDH 20 would not need a dedicated headphone amplifier; it sounds just as great on mobile devices such as laptop computers.

While many other closed-back headphones are marred by nasty resonances in the mid-band, making it difficult to come to reliable mix decisions, the NDH 20 offers an astonishingly detailed, well-balanced sound image, similar to Neumann’s acclaimed studio loudspeakers. Its entire construction is true Neumann quality: The headband is made of flexible spring steel while the ear cup covers are machined from lightweight aluminum. Large and soft memory foam ear pads make the NDH 20 a pleasure to wear for long periods without fatigue. For easy transportation, the NDH 20 is foldable with two detachable cables (one straight, one coiled) and a 6.3 mm (1/4”) adapter. The mechanical construction, too, meets the highest standards.

The NDH 20 is suited to all applications that require high sound isolation such as monitoring for musicians and engineers in the tracking room as well as FOH work. It is also an excellent choice for critical listening, free from disturbance from the outside world and, vice versa, without causing disturbance to people nearby due to leakage. Thanks to its extended frequency response ranging from 5 Hz to 30 kHz the NDH 20 is particularly helpful to check the upper and lower extremes of the audio band.

Features:

• Linear sound balance, like Neumann’s acclaimed studio monitors
• Excellent isolation allows working in noisy environments
• High long-term comfort, easy transportation
• Two detachable cables (straight/coiled)
