Neumann To Introduce 8-Channel DMI-8 Digital Mic Interface at AES 2009 Neumann, manufacturer of the world's most highly-regarded analog microphones, continues to make history by pioneering digital microphone technology with quality and functionality that transcends the analog-digital divide. Neumann will introduce the DMI-8 at AES 2009.
An eight-channel version of the popular DMI-2 digital microphone interface, which provides remote digital microphone control and conversion from AES 42 to AES/EBU, the DMI-8 offers more channels at less cost per channel in a space-saving rack-mountable chassis. But the DMI-8 also adds new features to the digital microphone interface concept, including computer-free gain adjustment, multi-unit cascading up to 128 channels, and a variety of industry-standard multi-channel output formats.
