Designed for tracking, mixing, and critical listening, the Neumann NDH 20 Black Studio Headphonesoffer a closed-back circumaural fit as well as a delineated sonic image. In addition to the sleek black styling with prominent L and R letters on the earcups, this Black Edition includes a detachable, internally balanced cable that's designed to minimize crosstalk while increasing spatial resolution. The headphones make use of 38mm drivers that employ a high-gauss neodymium magnet to ensure a response devoid of distortion and coloration. They provide a frequency response of 5 Hz to 30 kHz.

Many other closed-back headphones supply nasty resonances in the midrange, which inhibit your ability to make accurately informed mixing decisions. This pair was designed to avoid such pitfalls to give you a sound and soundstage similar to that of Neumann's line of studio loudspeakers.

The NDH 20's adjustable headband is constructed from steel, while the earcups are fashioned out of lightweight aluminum. On the earpads, you get cushioning memory foam that supplies hours of comfort. When you're not using the headphones, simply fold them up and put them in the included soft-cloth bag. The internally balanced cable features a 3.5mm connector and a 1/4" adapter is also supplied.

Q: 4. Can this do live effect and processing within the unit like compressor, de-esser, etc.?

A: The RME Babyface Pro FS 24-Channel 192 kHz Bus-Powered USB 2.0 Audio Interface has a small amount of effects processing onboard. Its FPGA-based DSP mixer implements a 3-band parametric equalizer on all inputs and outputs, and delay and reverb are also on hand. This is not designed to replace outboard effects units in live scenarios, however, and works best with DAW software and software effects plug-ins.

Q: 5. Does the box work well using a iPhone?

A: The FotodioX LED Studio-in-a-Box (20 x 20"), B&H # FOSIAB2020, can be used with any camera with which you are comfortable using. As it is a continuous light source, if you are comfortable with using your smartphone/iPhone for capturing product photos, it can definitely be used. As it has interior lighting and a reflective interior, you would get much better images compared to the images you would capture with your iPhone by itself using its built-in flash, and it would also provide a much cleaner and professional-looking background and lighting environment for your images.
