The NDH 30 represents Neumann's ambitious goal to capture the reference sound of their perfectly calibrated studio monitor setups in a portable headphone format. This circumaural, open-back design features outstanding detail resolution and high-precision stereo imaging with razor-sharp localisation capabilities. Built with the same high-quality spring steel and aluminium construction as the NDH 20, the NDH 30's open-back architecture allows its dynamic 38mm transducers to function as acoustic dipoles, unleashing extremely fast transient response, dry bass reproduction, uncoloured midrange and transparent highs for true 1:1 signal reproduction.
The headphone's superior linearity stems from frequency-selective absorbers that eliminate the high-frequency overemphasis found in many competing models, preventing incorrect mixing decisions and accurately revealing vocal clarity issues or the need for de-essing. Its impressive spatial resolution enables precise stereo panorama localisation while making mix depth clearly evident. To minimise channel crosstalk, Neumann supplies the NDH 30 with a high-quality internally balanced cable.
Perfect compatibility with optimally calibrated KH-Line loudspeaker systems means mixes started at home using the NDH 30 can be seamlessly continued in professional studios and vice versa. The headphones also serve as an excellent reference for headphone compatibility checking and creating binaural mixes for immersive content including VR and gaming applications. With manufacturing tolerances held to extremely tight standards, each NDH 30 unit sounds identical, ensuring the consistency and reliability essential for professional mixing and mastering work.
