Neumann RIME Immersive Monitoring Plug-in

Turn Your Immersive Audio Content on a RIME

In case you have any doubt, it’s now official: you no longer need a dedicated speaker setup to create immersive audio content. Instead, you only need a pair of Neumann headphones and Reference Immersive Monitoring Environment (RIME)! This groundbreaking plug-in for mixing and mastering in multichannel formats uses Neumann technology, AMBEO algorithms, and a purpose-built studio space to create a jaw-dropping 3D audio image. It supports immersive formats up to 7.1.4 and can also be used for stereo playback to ensure that your mixes sound great not only in Atmos but across all other playback systems. What’s more, RIME also supports OSC-compatible head tracker devices, so you can tailor a personal listening environment that responds to your own individual head movements. Thanks to the RIME plug-in from Neumann, there’s never been a better time to dive into immersive audio.

Based around a single purpose-built studio

RIME’s genius lies in the fact that Neumann created a single purpose-built studio room and used the best available Neumann equipment throughout the entire signal chain. First, Neumann KH loudspeakers and subwoofers were installed by Neumann’s acoustics experts and precisely tuned. Then, they captured the three-dimensional soundfield with their famous KU 100 binaural head microphone running through their renowned MT 48 audio interface. Finally, AMBEO virtual acoustics algorithms were integrated into RIME to create a virtual space free of any pesky phase issues.

Just add a pair of Neumann headphones

Understandably, RIME works best with Neumann headphones, as it was created specifically to mesh with their acoustic profile. City Music recommends the Neumann NDH 30 open-back studio headphones for mixing and mastering with RIME. Additionally, if you already own an immersive audio setup with KH studio monitors, you’ll find that RIME’s A/B functionality between loudspeaker and headphone plays back flawlessly. Add your favorite OSC compatible head tracker for an even more realistic listening environment.
