Appendix

Updating the firmware

To find out if your MT 48 is on the newest firmware, go to MENU → SETTINGS → INFO
Updating requires the MT 48 driver/agent to be installed on your computer system .
The firmware update procedure is easy:
1 . Download the newest MT 48 toolkit software, unzip and locate the firmware file .
2 . With the MT 48 connected to your computer, go to the Neumann logo in the menu bar
(Mac)/taskbar(Windows) to open the drop-down menu .
3 . In the menu, select OPEN MAINTENANCE PAGE
4 . A browser window opens . Click SELECT FILE and locate the firmware file you downloaded .
5 . Click UPDATE and wait for the procedure to end . Make sure your computer does not enter
sleep mode during the update process . The updating procedure takes about 10 minutes .
Don't panic if the process appears to get stuck . Do not abort, just wait .
6 . Once the update is completed, the message REBOOT DEVICE appears . Confirm .
7 . After rebooting the device, your MT 48 is on the latest firmware .
Using the MT 48 with the Neumann MA 1 Automatic
Monitor Alignment
MA 1 is a hardware/software solution that allows easy and precise alignment for Neumann DSP
speakers . Acoustic data of your room is gathered using the included measurement microphone
in several spots around your listening position . The resulting correction curve is then stored
inside the DSP speakers .
This process requires the speakers' network ports to be connected to your computer for data
transfer while audio signals are sent to the speakers via the analog or digital outputs of your
audio interface, in this case the MT 48 .
The MT 48 contains a converter that translates between USB and AES67/Ravenna . It is impor-
tant to know that a computer should not be part of two networks at the same time . Therefore,
the network connection to your speakers should not be made from your computer's network
port but via the MT 48's AES67 network port (regardless of whether your Neumann speak-
ers are AES67 variants or the standard version) . This avoids address conflicts . Connect your
loudspeakers using a standard IPv6 capable ethernet switch . Please note that the MT 48 has
a gigabit port that is not directly compatible with Non-AES67 Neumann speakers' 100Mbit
ports . So a gigabit network switch is required to translate between the two, even if you only
connect one Non-AES67 Neumann loudspeaker such as the KH 750 DSP subwoofer .

FAQ

The MT 48 runs rather warm. Is my device defective?
Don't worry, that's normal . The MT 48 contains a high performance DSP, and the aluminum
X
enclosure serves as a heat sink .
The fan makes noise when I set Fan Mode to Mid or High. What can I do?
Just set FAN MODE to Low, which is the default . In this setting the fan is inaudible except
X
in very hot environments . The fan is merely a safety measure to keep the electronics from
overheating, if the room temperature is unusually high .
Can the MT 48 be used with Merging Anubis Missions?
Not a launch, but additional missions may be offered at a later point .
