Multichannel Mastery: Neumann’s MA 1 Extension

The advent of immersive audio poses a new set of acoustic challenges, especially in environments not optimized initially for multichannel sound. Neumann’s latest offering, the Multichannel Extension for MA 1, is engineered to tackle precisely this issue.
“Like the stereo version, Multichannel Extension generates a room-adaptive target curve based on on-site measurements. This incorporates the extensive knowledge gained by Neumann engineers in analyzing and calibrating countless control rooms,” explains Portfolio Manager Stephan Mauer. “MA 1 detects room modes and automatically optimizes the correction filters in order to eliminate acoustic problems in the best possible way. In addition, level and delay differences are compensated, resulting in a three-dimensional sound image with extremely precise localization and spatial resolution.”
Sound Sculpting with Neumann’s Precision Neumann’s MA 1 v2.0 is not simply about adapting to multiple channels; it’s about redefining the listening experience.
- Precise frequency response linearization for consistent sound from any direction.
- Accurate source localization is crucial for both stereo and multichannel setups.
With the MA 1 v2.0, even a space specifically designed for multichannel formats can witness a marked improvement. The system detects room modes and refines correction filters, ensuring audio is free from coloration and spatial distortions.
