Output EQ

A 4-band parametric equalizer is available for each mixer output . This allows for basic room
adjustment on the loudspeaker outputs . For Neumann DSP loudspeakers, we of course recom-
mend MA 1, which is a much more sophisticated room alignment solution . But if you are using
other speakers, the Bus EQ can be of great help to compensate for resonances in your listening
environment or nonlinearities in the loudspeakers themselves . Bus EQ can also be useful on
the headphones outputs, if you have to work with less than linear headphones or headphones
you are not accustomed to .
Go to MIX 1/2/3/4 (on the upper right-hand side) → BUS EQ

Output dynamics

Similarly, mixer outputs can also be processed with Dynamics, if needed . The functions are the
same as in the input channels Dynamics module: Gate, Compressor and Limiter .

Configuring the headphone outputs

A huge number of different headphones are offered today . Two key parameters vary greatly:
sensitivity and impedance . Low sensitivity and/or high impedance headphones need a very
powerful headphone amplifier to produce high enough volume . Low impedance headphones
require a headphone amplifier with super low output impedance for fast transient response
and an optimal sound balance .
The MT 48 features excellent headphone amplifiers offering both high power and ultra-low
output impedance (0 .035 Ω!) . So it can drive any headphones to their absolute best .
