Ideal for engineers engaged in headphone-based monitoring, this Fotohaus Klinger Kit includes one pair of Neumann NDH 30 Headphones with the RIME immersive binaural monitoring plug-in. This kit provides high-quality, professional headphones buoyed by a plug-in that allows for headphone monitoring of stereo, surround, and immersive formats up to 7.1.4.

Designed for editing, mixing, and critical listening, the black Neumann NDH 30 Headphones offer a calibrated studio loudspeaker setup in the form of a portable headphone. The open-back circumaural fit construction ensures reference-class sound with maximum comfort. The headphones make use of 38mm drivers, which work as acoustic dipoles, allowing for highly refined sound characteristics to unfold optimally. One can expect an extremely fast transient response, dry bass, uncolored mids, and transparent highs. In other words, the NDH 30 are devoid of distortion and coloration. They provide a frequency response of 12 Hz to 34 kHz.

The NDH 30's high-quality construction of spring steel and aluminum ensure tight tolerances for consistency. The headphones are foldable, which help while on-the-go. The NDH 30 includes a detachable, internally balanced cable that's designed to minimize crosstalk while increasing spatial resolution. The NDH 30 includes a 1/4" adapter and a soft cloth carrying pouch.

Designed to enable confident mixing with Neumann headphones in a variety of audio formats, RIME is a virtual monitoring plug-in for DAWs that outputs a 3D binaural signal from any input signal. Supporting stereo, immersive, and surround formats up to 7.1.4, RIME provides a precisely tuned reference space for reliable mixing that translates perfectly to other playback systems.

Unlike other immersive virtual monitoring systems, RIME is not a mere simulation, but a product of meticulous capture by Neumann engineers, and specifically designed for Neumann headphones. By providing a single reference space, you get more consistent results than solutions with numerous alternate monitoring spaces. All signals are converted to a binaural output, including stereo. Surround and immersive formats provide rear and height channel information. You can adjust speaker position, 2-band shelving EQ, interaural time delay, room ambience, gain, and more with the easy-to-use GUI. This plug-in also provides OSC support for compatible head-tracking devices. RIME is available in VST3, AU, and AAX plug-in formats and supports Mac and Windows computers.

Note: this plug-in is intended for use with Neumann headphones only and is not designed for use with 3rd-party headphone brands.

RIME uses groundbreaking AMBEO algorithms and was created using Neumann technology throughout: KH line monitors and subwoofers were installed in a purpose-built reference room and fine tuned by Neumann acoustics experts using the MA 1 with Multichannel Extension. This state-of-the-art setup was captured using Neumann’s legendary KU 100 binaural head, connected to the MT 48 audio interface with superior preamps and converters.
