STUDIO GRADE MONITORING  WHEREVER YOU GO
The Neumann NDH 20 is a closed-back headphone combining excellent isolation with the
carefully balanced sound image and outstanding resolution you’d expect from a Neumann
product. The NDH 20 is thus ideally suited to monitoring and mixing tasks, even in loud
and noisy environments. Circumaural memory foam ear pads oer high long-term comfort.
CRITICAL LISTENING AND MIXING.
IN THE STUDIO, AT HOME, ON THE ROAD
While many other closed-back headphones are marred by nasty resonances in the midband,
making it dicult to come to reliable mix decisions, the NDH 20 oers 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 (38 mm/1.5”) 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 exible steel while
the ear cup covers are machined from lightweight aluminum. For easy transportation the
headphone is foldable and can be placed into the supplied so cloth bag. Two detachable
cables (one straight, one coiled) and a 6.3 mm (1/4”) adapter are also included.
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.
Unlike most other closed-back headphones, the Neumann NDH 20 is suited to mixing
purposes too. An unusually even frequency response and natural stereo image allow for
mixing with condence and ensure compatibility to all playback systems. The NDH 20 is
thus an indispensible tool for working on the road. Of course, it is also an excellent head-
phone for audiophile entertainment.
