Neumann KMR 82 I Shotgun Microphone

Neumann's KMR 82 I is a long shotgun microphone with a very directional characteristic, designed primarily for distance recording. The microphone capsule is positioned inside a housing tube that is acoustically open but has a high flow resistance. The directional pattern of the microphone is lobe shaped. The attenuation of lateral sound is practically independent of the frequency. The KMR 82 I has a frequency-independent directivity within a pickup angle of 45? for audio signals that determine the tonal balance of the program material. Between 2 kHz and 15 kHz, the KMR 82 I 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. In addition to a HF boost, the KMR 82 I 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. Each KMR 82 I comes in a rugged leather carrying case with a shoulder strap for easy portability.
