Pure Neumann sound in the digital domain, for use with AES/EBU, AES 42 or S/PDIF. The signal is converted directly at the capsule. Difficult questions concerning the optimal preamp and A/D converter for a Neumann mic are thus a thing of the past.
Features
- True 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 best A/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).
Applications
- A universal cardioid mic
- Vocalist recording
- Announcer's mic for broadcasting/voice over
- Due to minimal self-noise: on-air mic for radio/broadcast, very low amplitude signals, radio drama, sampling, foley/sound effects
- Home recording and project studios
- Spot mic for: wind instruments, strings, percussion, guitar amps, drum overhead
These are just some of the most common applications. We recommend additional experimentation to gain maximum use from this microphone.
