■ True Immersion Powered by Neumann’s Precision Sound

Experience three-dimensional immersive sound as if you were there, through Neumann headphones.

RIME (Reference Immersive Monitoring Environment) is a DAW plugin designed for mixing and mastering, compatible with multichannel formats including Dolby Atmos.

By combining Neumann’s exceptional technology with AMBEO algorithms, it reproduces a lifelike and highly immersive 3D sound image, ensuring enjoyment across any playback environment.

■ Consistent Neumann Reference Quality

Without confusing the listener in the complex virtual soundscape, RIME recreates a reference room with the ultimate quality as the “true source.”

RIME faithfully captures real studio environments using Neumann reference equipment. Immersive setups with Neumann KH series speakers and subwoofers are designed by acoustics experts and optimally calibrated using MA 1 Automatic Monitor Alignment.

Furthermore, the three-dimensional sound field is captured with the legendary KU 100 binaural head microphone via the Neumann MT 48 audio interface (developed by Merging Technologies), equipped with the latest preamp and converter technologies. This cutting-edge signal chain guarantees faithful, original sound quality from input to output.

■ AMBEO: Mastering Immersion

At the core of RIME’s immersive experience lies AMBEO technology. Its innovative audio algorithms deliver astonishingly realistic and precise sound images, free from the unwanted coloration and “phasey” artifacts often found in competing solutions.

Integrated into Neumann RIME, the AMBEO algorithms create rich, three-dimensional soundscapes that tell stories, evoke emotions, and elevate auditory experiences to a new dimension.

■ Exclusively Designed for Neumann Headphones

RIME is optimized specifically for Neumann headphones, built upon their outstanding consistency and sound quality. It provides a reliable solution for mixing and mastering multichannel formats, even without an immersive speaker setup.

For those already using an immersive KH series studio monitor setup, it enables seamless switching between speaker and headphone playback, allowing immersive content creation anywhere. In addition, RIME supports OSC-compatible head tracker devices for a natural listening experience that adapts to head movements.

■ Enhanced Stereo Playback

RIME also supports stereo playback. It frees listeners from the common “in-head localization” of regular headphones, providing natural localization as if listening to speakers. This makes it possible to verify mix compatibility across different playback systems.
