1. Introduction

One interface to reach them all

TechnicaDelArte’s uMi U B Microphone interface is one of the world’s most flexible

professional Recording and Broadcasting interfaces. Delivering outstanding audio quality,

the uMi represents the centerpiece for recordings and live broadcasting. With the mobile

reporter in mind, our development team has designed a very robust and versatile

microphone amplifier.

The D P processing included within the uMi makes the user interface customizable. With

the help of uMi, your favorite microphone will sound the same, wherever you are.

24+1 bit/192 kHz ound Quality

Designed to play the central role in mobile situations, uMi delivers uncompromising audio

quality for all mobile devices: iO , Android, Mac O and Windows. By carefully selecting

the audio components we have built a device that offers extremely high-resolution sound,

with the lowest THD and high dynamic range.

Realtime D P processing

While the analogue sound is natural and transparent, the uMi can deliver a wide range of

dynamic processing, gain control and equalization via its hardware accelerated D P power.

Years of research and development by our experienced team has resulted in outstanding

audio quality processing algorithms, focused on mobile recording and broadcasting.

By saving presets within the device, sound colour and response can be adjusted simply by

the push of a button. The presets can be adjusted and stored in the device with the help

of the highly intuitive uMi Control user interface, available for Apple O and Windows.

Broadcasting two streams

Due to its flexible architecture, two uMis can be cascaded and used simultaneously in one

system. This feature has been created with the sports commentator in mind who, in most

cases, need separate microphones.

Elegant and robust hardware design

Working with the very best hardware materials and the most advanced manufacturing

processes, we have been able to deliver an outstanding quality device. Due to its

durability, the uMi can be used in the harshest of environments, which makes it the perfect

tool for on-the-road recording and broadcasting.

5. Hardware & block diagram

(1) Microphone connector.

XLR Female connector for connecting any dynamic microphone or a condenser

microphone that supports a phantom power voltage of 12V or lower.

(2) Mogami Neglex quad cable

2m (6,5ft) quad-core microphone cable. Extends the distance between the microphone

and the mobile device. The quad-core is used to improve the noise canceling (10 to 20dB)

of the connection between the microphone and the preamplifier.

(3) Phantom power switch

The phantom power can be activated and controlled via the uMi Control software. The

output voltage can be set between 0 and 12V. This is done to lower the current drain from

the U B port. This feature will increase the live time of the mobile device and makes sure

the power can be supplied by the mobile device.

(4) Preamplifier

The microphone signal is pre-amplified by an ultra-low noise analogue amplifier with a

fixed gain. The preamplifier also provides adequate input impedance, matching most

microphones.

(5) Analog to Digital converter

For converting the analogue microphone signal to the digital domain. The converter used

is a premium quality Cirrus Logic Analogue to Digital converter. The two input channels of

the ADC are used to convert one Mono microphone signal. This improves the noise

response of the conversion.

(6) Digital ignal Processor

This is the main core of the uMi. The D P handles the digitally converted audio signal from

the ADC to the U B port. The D P includes a Channel- trip functionality containing several

hardware accelerated D P effects.

(7) Preset button

Two presets can be stored in the hardware memory of the uMi. The user can switch

between these two presets by pressing this button. A blue LED light will indicate the

currently active preset.

The push button can also be used to update the firmware of the uMi if needed.

(8) U B port connector

U B-A Male connector compatible with any U B-A port and / or a Lighting connector.

6. uMi Control software

The uMi Control software can be downloaded from http://umi-connect.com/

Installing the uMi control software

After downloading the installer, double-click the installer icon and follow the onscreen

instructions until completed.

The User interface

Main feature: uMi is capable of storing two presets in its hardware memory. witching

between the two presets is achieved by pressing the hardware push button.

The selected OFF and ON -presets (9)/(10) are indicated with the LED placed in the

button's cap.
