Overview

The Neumann KMR 82 i is a premium long shotgun condenser microphone designed for professional film production, television broadcasting, electronic news gathering (ENG), sports coverage, and location sound recording. Featuring a precision pressure-gradient interference transducer with a long interference tube, it delivers exceptional directivity, natural dialogue reproduction, and outstanding rejection of off-axis noise, making it ideal for demanding outdoor and long-distance recording applications.

Long-Distance Audio Capture

The KMR 82 i employs a highly directional supercardioid/lobe polar pattern that provides superior front-to-back rejection while maintaining smooth off-axis response. Its extended interference tube offers greater reach than the KMR 81 i, enabling clean dialogue capture from greater distances without compromising natural sound quality.

Optimized for Broadcast and Film

Built with Neumann's transformerless condenser technology, the KMR 82 i delivers excellent sensitivity, extremely low self-noise, and high speech intelligibility. A switchable low-cut filter minimizes wind and handling noise, while the integrated 10 dB pad increases maximum SPL handling for recording loud sound sources without distortion.

Rugged Professional Construction

Despite its extended length, the KMR 82 i remains lightweight and well-balanced for boom operation. Its durable all-metal construction is engineered for daily use in television, cinema, documentary production, sports broadcasting, and field recording, providing reliable performance in both indoor and outdoor environments.
