Neumann D-01
Natural sound. Digital precision.
Developed as the flagship of Neumann’s Solution-D range, the D-01 combines exceptional capsule engineering with advanced digital technology. Its large diaphragm condenser capsule delivers a natural, detailed sound, while a custom A/D converter captures the capsule’s full 130 dB dynamic range. The result is a microphone designed to preserve the character, nuance and expression of every performance.
Capture every detail
The D-01 offers a smooth, balanced response across 15 selectable polar patterns, including omnidirectional, cardioid, figure-8 and twelve intermediate settings. This flexibility allows you to tailor the microphone’s pickup to the performer, instrument and recording space.
With precise transient response, just 8 dB-A of self-noise and sound pressure handling up to 138 dB SPL without preattenuation, the D-01 captures both delicate passages and powerful performances with clarity. Its uncolored sound provides a versatile foundation for mixing and further processing.
Digital control at the source
Supporting 24-bit output at sample rates up to 192 kHz, the D-01 delivers its signal through an AES 42 digital interface. Integrated processing includes digital gain, an adjustable low-cut filter, a peak limiter, compressor/limiter functions and a de-esser.
Settings can be adjusted remotely using Neumann’s RCS software and stored directly in the microphone. This allows engineers to hear the effect of changes from the listening position, while remotely controlled signal LEDs provide visual cues for performers.
Versatility for the studio
From expressive vocals and acoustic guitar to piano, upright bass, strings, wind instruments, drums and percussion, the D-01 brings natural sound and flexible control to a wide range of recording sessions. Its expansive dynamic range also makes it particularly well suited to detailed sampling work.
Product status and software compatibility
The Solution-D range was discontinued from Neumann’s product portfolio in 2021. Neumann’s published notice guarantees service for Solution-D hardware until 31 December 2030.

Enkele opmerkingen:
-Super gedetailleerd geluid, in essentie nog steeds de meest geavanceerde microfoon van Neumann, origineeel ~9000 euro voor een hele set. Voor matige zangstemmen is iets verhullenders (U87, SM57) beter geschikt.
-Heeft een AES42 interface nodig voor controle van de microfoon (patterns, digital gain). Deze wordt niet meegeleverd.
-Dit product zal vanaf 31-12-2030 niet meer door Neumann ondersteund worden.
