Re: Neumann KM-D Digital Microphones
I agree and it's on my list - after the MKH 8020 stereo set, the MKH 8040 stereo set, the Nagra VI, the U87 Anniversary Edition and a new PC.

I *do* use a proper recording system.
You don't think I actually use a PC for recording do you? It's far too risky - I don't trust them that far.
But I *do* use a PC for editing and mastering. If it all goes tits up I still have all the original material.
Using a PC for recording - madness - whatever next.

Trust no-one
Editing? You mean they don't get it right first time like my lot?

I use a PC for recording -- with the SADiE LRX2 -- but for critical stuff (what isn't?) I back up with a Genex 8500 Hard disk recorder. But to be fair, I've not had any problems so far recording to the laptop with an external drive....

Re: Neumann KM-D Digital Microphones
As I promised - I *have* now bought the KK131 flat-omni heads for the KM-D.
I have yet to use them in anger, but will probably use them more than the 183 once the current recording project is finished.

Re: Neumann KM-D Digital Microphones
Update:-
Neumann have released, in the last week, updated RCS software (v2.0.1) that complies with the latest version of the AES42 standard.
They have also released new software updates for the DMI-2 controller and the KM-D series, D-01 and TLM 103-D microphones.
I have just updated all my kit.
The new software also works with the new Sennheiser MZD 8000 digital module that is due for release very soon.

Re: Neumann KM-D Digital Microphones
Update -
Neumann have recently launched more new capsules for the KM-D series including the KK 133 omni with ball head and KK 120 fig-8.
They have also launched the new KM-A analogue version of the KM-D so the same capsules can be used AES42 digital or conventional analogue.

The KM 185-D was one of the original 3 launched in 2006.

Re: Neumann KM-D Digital Microphones
Neumann have just launched the DMI-2Portable - it's a slimline DC powered version of the mains DMI-2.
Shipping starts next week (week 3, 2011) and I have already ordered a pair of them so I can record four AES42 digital mics at the same time into my Nagra VI.
For some reason it's not on the Neumann website yet; but I'll post the link when it's up.
