Neumann KMR 81 D Digital Short Shotgun Microphone

The Neumann KMR 81 D is the transition of the well-established KMR 81 i shotgun microphone into the digital domain. It provides all of the features of its analog counterpart, which made it a favorite of sound engineers in movie and documentary productions. Additionally it offers the advantages of the digital circuit technology, such as extended dynamic range, a more robust operation (EMC safe) and the avoidance of clipping as a result of the integrated peak limiter/compressor.

The settings for all functions can be recalled, set and stored in the microphone by using one of the digital microphone interfaces.

Features

• Interference tube microphone with shotgun directional characteristic
• Interference/pressure-gradient transducer
• High lateral and back attenuation
• 90°-recording angle
• Extensive accessories for outdoor use
• Light weight: 90 g
• The legendary Neumann sound in the digital realm. Pure Neumann capsule sound.
• The satisfaction of recording the uncolored original, with no "bottlenecks" between the capsule and the recording system.
• The guarantee of having one of the best A/D converters available.
• Anti-clipping processing ensures handling safety, and reduces stress.
• Reduced time requirements and personnel costs, particularly due to faster post production processing.
• Lower investment costs, since separate A/D converters and preamps are no longer needed. This also means space and weight savings (e.g. in the OB van).
