Lawo and Neumann have announced the integration of Neumann’s DMI-8 digital microphone interface into Lawo series of broadcast mixing consoles.

Using Ravenna Audio-Over-IP technology, the DMI-8 supports eight digital AES42 microphones and is operated using Neumann RCS remote control software from mc² series consoles. The integration allows adjustment of the mic’s gain, pre attenuation, polar patterns, low-cut filter settings. The DMI-8 converts the AES42 data format supplied by the microphone into a Ravenna/AES67 signal. When a large number of microphones are used, several DMI-8s can be cascaded and each digital microphone interface can be addressed individually.
