Neumann KMR 82 i Long Shotgun Condenser Microphone

The Neumann KMR 82 i is a long shotgun condenser microphone engineered for professional dialogue capture, field recording, and broadcast applications where maximum directional control is essential. Its extended interference tube and supercardioid polar pattern work together to create one of the tightest pickup patterns available in a shotgun microphone, allowing operators to isolate a sound source with remarkable precision even in acoustically challenging locations. At 16 inches in length, the KMR 82 i achieves a degree of off-axis rejection that shorter shotgun microphones simply cannot match, making it the go-to choice for outdoor film shoots, ENG work, and any scenario where the microphone must be positioned at a distance from the talent.

Neumann includes a MZW67 windshield and a protective carrying case, equipping the microphone for immediate field deployment. The nickel-finished body is built to withstand the rigors of professional production environments. Like all condenser microphones, the KMR 82 i requires 48V phantom power, which is standard on virtually all professional mixers, recorders, and audio interfaces. For production sound mixers, boom operators, and broadcast engineers who need the highest level of directional audio capture, the KMR 82 i remains one of the most respected tools in the industry.
