Neumann DMI-2 Portable + 2x KM184D – Rare AES42 Digital Film & Studio System
Very rare Neumann DMI-2 Portable paired with two KM184D digital microphones, both mics in excellent, top condition.
This is a professional AES42 digital microphone system, offering a fully digital signal path with extremely low self-noise and no need for traditional analog microphone preamps. It is designed for high-end recording workflows where absolute clarity and signal integrity are required.
🎬 Ideal for:
* Film & location sound recording
* Classical and orchestral recording
* Acoustic instruments (guitar, strings, piano)
* High-end studio production
🎥 Workflow integration:
Used in professional production environments including film and broadcast workflows (ARRI / Canon / Blackmagic setups) via AES/EBU (AES3) digital audio chains and external recorders or interfaces.
⚙️ Key features:
* Fully digital AES42 microphone system
* No external analog preamps required
* Ultra-low self-noise
* High precision Neumann KM184D capsules
* Extremely rare discontinued system
🔧 Difference vs standard DMI-2
Unlike the standard DMI-2 system, which typically requires a computer and software for setup and gain control, the DMI-2 Portable offers a much more direct and simplified standalone operation.
You can control the level directly on the unit using onboard gain controls, without relying on external software. It is essentially a plug-and-play workflow designed for mobile and location recording use.
💡 Value perspective
When compared to the cost of high-end preamps and converters, this system is surprisingly inexpensive, offering a highly efficient and pure digital recording workflow in a compact format. It delivers the exceptional low self-noise and clarity that the KM184 capsule is known for at its highest level of performance.
