Critical Listening and Mixing

While many competing closed-back headphones are marred by nasty resonances in the midband, 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. Superior sonics along with large memory foam ear pads make the NDH 20 a pleasure to wear for long periods without fatigue. The NDH 20 uses newly designed drivers with high-gauss neodymium magnets to ensure high sensitivity and minimized distortion, thus allowing the user to listen to the pure audio signal without unwanted coloration. The mechanical construction, too, meets the highest standards. The adjustable headband is made of spring steel while the ear cup covers are machined from lightweight aluminum. The NDH 20 is made of aluminum and spring steel. Its immaculate black surfaces exude stylish understatement. The foldable design guarantees easy transportation in the supplied soft cloth bag. The Black Edition of the NDH 20 comes with an internally balanced cloth covered cable for improved channel separation.

Applications

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.
