Description
Neumann KMR 81i
The Neumann KMR 81i is a shotgun microphone with a high directivity that remains within the acceptance angle independent of the frequency.
Shotgun microphones are particularly useful in recording situations where a microphone cannot be positioned within the desired distance of the sound source to produce a sufficiently loud signal level.
Typical applications for the KMR 81 are film and video recordings, where the microphone should not appear in the picture. The KMR 81 also has been specifically designed for electronic news gathering where rejection of ambient noise may be desired as well as low sensitivity to wind.
The KMR 81 shotgun microphone features extremely low self noise and high output level. 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 81 has a frequency independent directivity within a pickup angle of 90ï¾° for audio signals that determine the tonal balance of the program material.
The microphone has a 10 dB attenuation switch to prevent the input from overloading. A second switch activates a 200 Hz high-pass filter. Toward the lower frequencies the sensitivity of the microphone is attenuated by approximately 15 dB at 50 Hz. The frequency range above 200 Hz is unaffected.
The shotgun microphone features very high output capability and a remarkably low self-noise level.
