AES -- PDAudio and Schoeps Digital Microphones
At AES, Schoeps' Jurg Wuttke and Christian Langen came by to show us
their new digital microphone, and to test it with our PDAudio handheld 24/96 digital audio recorder. The folks at Schoeps have been working on the committee that's finalizing the AES's digital microphone interface standard (AES 42-2001 Standard for Acoustic-Digital Interface for Microphones). Their digital mic uses their standard range of capsules, and looks and sounds just like their other mics. The main difference is that instead of putting out an analog mic-level signal, it outputs a digital audio signal (AES/EBU or S/PDIF, selectable internally). It runs on a very small 9-volt battery power supply and without an external mic pre or A-to-D, offers over 120 dB of dynamic range (even without using gain range switching). It sounds quite wonderful! We plugged the digital mic into one of our PDAudio recorders, in this case an HP iPAQ h2215 with our PDAudio-CF card in its CF slot and a flash memory card in the other. This version of PDAudio can literally fit in your shirt pocket with room to spare and costs under $500. We hit "record" and sure enough, we were able to record at 24/96. This combination would make a really excellent sounding and very compact field recorder for electronic news gathering and concert recording.

Gosh, how are you going to match it to the correct pre-amp? :-) Bob -- "Things should be described as simply as possible, but no simpler." A. Einstein |
