The Neumann DMI-2 portable is the ideal digital microphone interface solution for ENG and other field recording applications.
It supports two digital microphones and allows adjustment of the Gain, Pre Attenuation and Low Cut filter settings at the device. The front panel display shows the selected gain and, by means of bar graphs, shows the current signal level and any gain reduction. Of course, these functions can also be operated via the RCS software, which allows complete access to all of the microphone parameters.
Microphone presets can be stored inside the DMI-2 portable and recalled for use in the field.
Miniature microphones with 8 exchangeable capsules, compatible with the analog miniature microphone system KM ASet includes windshield and clampExtensive accessoriesTRUE NEUMANN SOUND: The legendary Neumann sound in the digital realm.Pure Neumann capsule sound.TRUE TO THE ORIGINAL: The satisfaction of recording the uncolored original, with no "bottlenecks" between the capsule and the recording system.TRUE CONVERSION: The guarantee of having one of the bestA/D converters available.TRUE HANDLING SAFETY: Anti-clipping processing ensures handling safety, and reduces stress.TRUE TIME SAVINGS: Reduced time requirements and personnel costs, particularly due to faster post production processing.TRUE ECONOMY: Lower investment costs, since separate A/D converters and preamps are no longer needed. This also means space and weight savings (e.g. in the OB van).
