Frequently Asked Questions
The MA 1 analyzes your room and speaker placement, applying subtle EQ and timing corrections to create a perfectly balanced stereo image – it’s a significant upgrade for critical listening.
The limiters are transparently implemented; they protect the drivers without coloring the sound, allowing for extended listening sessions at higher volumes.
You'll notice a significantly wider stereo image and a more controlled, detailed soundstage thanks to Neumann’s waveguide and sophisticated DSP – a more refined experience overall.
