About Neumann DMI-8 USB

From the renowned brand Neumann comes the advanced Digital Microphone Computer Interface, a sophisticated AES 42 interface specifically designed for compatibility with the Neumann Solution-D and KM-D series digital microphones. This high-quality, professional-grade interface adeptly converts the AES 42 data format supplied by the microphone into a universally accepted AES/EBU signal, ensuring seamless integration with your audio setup.

Boasting an eight-channel interface, this innovative device facilitates remote operation of your microphones directly from your laptop or desktop PC using the RCS remote control software. This feature proves invaluable when connecting these digital microphones with equipment that does not support the AES 42 standard.

The Neumann Digital Microphone Computer Interface offers comprehensive remote operation and control capabilities, including phantom power and polar pattern switching. The computer connects to the interface via a USB port and a USB to RS 485 interface converter, ensuring a stable and reliable connection.

This device also features Wordclock inputs and outputs, along with a built-in Wordclock generator for instances where no master clock sync is present. This ensures your audio remains in perfect sync, regardless of your setup.

For those requiring multiple microphone usage, several DMI units can be cascaded, providing a scalable solution for your audio needs. Additionally, external commands such as "On Air" (red light) can be controlled via a 9-pin user port, adding an extra layer of control for your recording sessions.

In summary, the Neumann Digital Microphone Computer Interface is a versatile, high-quality solution for professionals seeking advanced audio control and integration with their Neumann Solution-D and KM-D series digital microphones.
