Used Neumann KMR82i 15.55" High Directional Long Shotgun Condenser Microphone, Black

What sets the Neumann KMR82i 15.55" High Directional Long Shotgun Condenser Microphone apart is its expertly engineered design, which combines the nuanced capture of a pressure gradient transducer with the precision of an interference tube. This sophisticated microphone excels in selectively capturing sound, making it an ideal choice for recording in complex acoustic environments.

The KMR82i's long interference tube is meticulously crafted to ensure that at lower frequencies, where the wavelength exceeds the tube's length, the microphone functions as a pressure gradient transducer. This allows for a natural, full-bodied pickup of sound. As the frequencies rise, the KMR82i seamlessly transitions to operate as an interference transducer, adeptly isolating lateral sounds. This dual functionality results in a focused recording of your subject with a significant reduction in off-axis noise - without any compromise on sound quality or introduction of coloration.

This microphone's directional characteristics are particularly beneficial when recording orchestral instruments, as it can isolate individual components within a complex mix. The KMR82i's ability to maintain clarity and definition even when multiple shotgun microphones' pickup areas overlap is a testament to its superior design. This feature is especially useful during large stage recordings or in multi-microphone setups, ensuring that each microphone captures a clean and distinct audio signal.

Crafted with the professional in mind, the Neumann KMR82i boasts a sleek, black finish and a robust construction that promises durability and reliability in the field. Whether used for film, broadcast, or music production, this high-end shotgun microphone stands as a testament to Neumann's commitment to audio excellence, offering unparalleled directionality and sound fidelity.
