Foam Windscreens
Close range sounds, wind, and fast movements of the microphone
boom, all may cause interfering noises. To avoid these unwanted
sounds, windscreen accessories are available. Typically, they are
made out of open-cell polyurethane foam. These windscreens do
not cause interfering resonances and do not influence the direc-
tional pattern. Only in the upper frequency range is the output lev-
el slightly attenuated. The wind noise attenuation was measured
without electrical filtering in a turbulent air stream traveling at
20 km/h, generated by a noiseless wind machine.

Capsule Heads for Miniature Microphone System KM D
KK... capsule heads are part of the variable miniature microphone
system. Together with the KM D (nx) output stage KK... capsule
heads form a complete microphone. KK 131 and KM D (nx), for ex-
ample, make up the KM 131 (nx).
Capsule Head KK 131 (nx)
Capsule Head KK 183 (nx)
KK 131 is a free-field equalized pressure
transducer. The sensitivity in the free
sound field is flat up to 20 kHz. In the
diffuse sound field there is a roll-off
above 5 kHz.
KK 183 is a diffuse-field equalized pres-
sure transducer with a free-field treble
boost (approx. 7 dB at 10 kHz). The fre-
quency response in the diffuse sound
field is flat up to 10 kHz.

Capsule Head KK 143 (nx)
Capsule Head KK 184 (nx)
KK 143 is a pressure gradient transducer
with wide-angle cardioid characteristic.
Attenuation: 4 dB at 90°, 8 dB at 135°,
and 11 dB at 180°. The frequency re-
sponse for sound sources within an an-
gle of 90° (off axis) is parallel up to
12 kHz.
KK 184 is a pressure gradient transducer
with cardioid characteristic. The fre-
quency curves are very even and parallel
to 0° sound incidence. In typical usage,
there is no coloration of sound over a
wide pickup angle.

Capsule Head KK 145 (nx)
Capsule Head KK 185 (nx)
KK 145 is a pressure gradient transducer
with cardioid characteristic just like the
KK 184. However, it has an acoustic
bass roll-off characteristic in the free
field and therefore suppresses interfer-
ing LF noise (wind, structure-borne
noise).
Since proximity effect is a natural fea-
ture of pressure gradient microphones,
the KK 145 appears to be optimized for a
flat frequency response at a recording
distance of approximately 15 cm (speech
cardioid).
KK 185 is a pressure gradient transducer
with a hypercardioid characteristic. At-
tenuation of sound incidence from the
side or rear is approximately 10 dB. Min-
imum sensitivity occurs at an angle of
about 120°.

Digital Microphone Interface and Power Supplies
Digital Microphone Interface DMI-2
2 channels,
Equipment that supports the new AES 42 standard can process the
Inputs: ..................................... XLR3F, AES 42
Outputs: ................... XLR3M, AES/EBU, 24 bit
output signals of Solution-D microphones directly. In all other cas-
es, the DMI-2 digital microphone interface is used. The DMI-2 is a
separate, two-channel device which converts the AES 42 data for-
mat supplied by the microphone into an AES/EBU signal. An eight-
channel version is under development.
Control bus: .................. RS485 via RJ 45 jack,
connection to the computer‘s
USB port via Neumann USB485
interface converter (included)
The DMI-2 is operated via the Neumann RCS remote control soft-
ware, which is installed on a desktop or laptop computer. The com-
puter is connected to the DMI-2 via a USB port and a USB to
RS 485 interface converter. If a large number of microphones is
used, several DMI-2s can be cascaded. In this case, each digital mi-
crophone interface can be addressed individually.
User Port: ..................................... 9-pin sub-D,
3 functions per channel
Synchronization: ..... AES 42/Mode 1 + Mode 2
Word clock input: ...................... BNC, 75 ohms
Word clock output: .................... BNC, 75 ohms
Selectable internal sampling rates:
In addition to a word clock input and output, the DMI-2 also has
an internal word clock generator. If no master word clock signal
(e.g. from a mixing console) is present at the input, the DMI-2 in-
ternal word clock is used automatically to synchronize the two mi-
crophone channels, and the signal is switched to the word clock
output.
44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4, 192 kHz
External Word clock: ....... 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96,

Connection Kit S/PDIF
Connection Kit AES/EBU
The Connection Kits serve to supply
power to digital microphones, which are
in accordance with the AES 42 standard.
The microphone audio signal is made
available at the Connection Kit output in
S/PDIF or AES/EBU format, depending
upon the model. The remote control and
synchronization capabilities of the
AES 42 standard cannot be used with
the Connection Kit; they are operable
only with the DMI-2.
