Between 2 kHz and 15 kHz the KMR 82 has a boost to compensate for HF transmission losses in air when recording distant sound sources.
This may overemphasize any sibilance if the microphone is used close-up. Therefore, a two-position slide switch allows to select the setting that is best for balanced upper frequencies.
The KMR 82 has a high-pass filter to suppress subsonic interference. The cutoff frequency may be raised to 120 Hz ( - 3 dB) with a built-in two-position slide switch.

Because of its superior design and engineering, the Neumann KMR82i 15.55" Supercardioid Shotgun Microphone stands as a top choice for professionals in the audio industry. This high-quality, durable microphone employs a unique combination of a pressure gradient transducer and an interference tube to deliver exceptional sound capture.
When the wavelength of the frequency is longer than the tube length, the microphone functions as a pressure gradient transducer. This feature allows it to capture sound with remarkable precision and clarity. However, at higher frequencies, it operates as an interference transducer for lateral sound, ensuring that every note and nuance is recorded with utmost fidelity.
One of the standout features of this professional-grade microphone is its ability to pick up off-axis sound sources at a reduced level, but without any coloration. This makes it an ideal choice for recording individual instruments in an orchestra setting, where the accurate capture of each instrument's unique sound is paramount.
Moreover, the Neumann KMR82i 15.55" Supercardioid Shotgun Microphone is designed to allow the pickup areas of several shotgun microphones to overlap, such as during recordings on a large stage, without causing any interference or sound distortion. This versatility and reliability make it a valuable asset in any professional recording setup.
Equipped with an XLR-3m connector, this microphone is built to handle high-quality audio signals, further enhancing its suitability for professional use in recording studios, live performances, and other high-demand audio applications. Trust in the Neumann KMR82i 15.55" Supercardioid Shotgun Microphone for your audio recording needs, and experience the difference that a high-directional, long shotgun condenser microphone can make.
