Safety instructions

The microphone has the intended purpose of
converting acoustic signals into digital electrical
signals.
Connect the microphone only to microphone
inputs and to equipment which supplies phan-
tom power in accordance with AES 42.
(But the microphone will not be damaged if it is
accidentally connected to an analog microphone
input with a phantom power of 48 V for a short
period. The D-01 has overvoltage protection and
EN
8 8
can handle a voltage of up to +55 V for a short pe-
riod.)
• Repairs and servicing are to be carried out only
by experienced, authorized service personnel.
Unauthorized opening or modifi cation of the
microphone shall void the warranty.
• Use the microphone only under the conditions
described in the Technical Data.
• Allow the microphone to adapt to the ambient
temperature before switching it on.
• Do not operate the microphone in a damaged
condition.
• Always run cables in such a way that there is no
risk of tripping over them.
• Ensure that liquids are kept at a safe distance
from the microphone and its connections.
• Do not use solvents or aggressive cleansers for
cleaning purposes.
• Dispose of the microphone in accordance with
the regulations applicable to the respective
country.
3. Description
The D-01 is a studio condenser microphone with a
digital output that complies with the internation-
al standard AES 42. Based upon the usual AES 3
(AES/EBU) standard for digital audio signals in
studio equipment, this standard has been extend-
ed to include phantom power for the microphone,
remote control and synchronization data, and
user bits for receiving microphone control data.
The D-01 is a large diaphragm microphone with
switchable polar pattern: omni, wide cardioid,
cardioid, hypercardioid, fi gure-8, as well as 10
intermediate settings.
The microphone is addressed from the side. The
front side is designated by the Neumann logo.
The capsule is the newly developed K 07 large di-
aphragm capsule. It is elastically mounted inside
the microphone head grille.
The K 07, together with the microphone input cir-
cuitry and the new A/D conversion technology, is
the fi rst double diaphragm system to provide an
equivalent self noise level of only 8 dB-A.
The capsule diameter is 30 mm, and the thickness
of the capsule system is 4.5 mm. Both diaphragms
lie very close to the capsule surface in order to
minimize internal and external path lengths, and
