Neumann KMR81I

When frequencies run wild, you better have someone riding shotgun.

This nine-inch shotgun condenser microphone offers uncolored sound reproduction, efficient directivity, good impulse response, a high output level and low self-noise for excellent results in electronic newsgathering, film, video, stage and orchestral recording plus much more. It features a 10dB attenuation switch and 200 Hz high-pass filter to give you precise control over hard-to-tame frequencies, and its light weight, low power consumption and low sensitivity to wind and handling noise make it ideal for outdoor use.
