Neumann recei­ved an excep­tio­nally enthu­sias­tic response to the presen­ta­tion of the first digi­tal shot­gun mic at the recent IBC. The acous­tic proper­ties of the KMR 81 D are based on those of its analog coun­ter­part, which has been in success­ful appli­ca­tions world­wide for many years. Thus, it is a short shot­gun mic with a pickup angle of 90 degrees and almost frequency-inde­pendent damping of sound origi­na­ting from the side.

The digi­tal version has inte­gra­ted Solu­tion-D circuit tech­no­logy which is already fami­liar from other Neumann micro­phones. This includes an A/D conver­ter that is speci­fi­cally adap­ted to the capsule, and the option of using nume­rous signal proces­sing features that have proved very help­ful, parti­cu­larly in an elec­tro­nic news gathe­ring (ENG) envi­ron­ment. The rapidly opera­ting peak/compres­sor limi­ter has been found to be espe­cially bene­fi­cial.

In addi­tion to the para­me­ters of the dyna­mics proces­sor, all of the other settings that can be adjus­ted via the Remote Control Soft­ware, such as filter settings and gain, can be stored directly in the micro­phone. During produc­tion, the prepro­gram­med KMR 81 D can then be connec­ted directly to a field recor­der with an appro­priate AES 42 input.

The KMR 81 D can be combi­ned with the KK 120 from the Neumann minia­ture micro­phone system, with a figure-eight direc­tio­nal charac­te­ris­tic, to obtain a compact, comple­tely digi­tal MS stereo confi­gu­ra­tion.

The KMR 81 D was presen­ted as a proto­type at the IBC, and will be avai­lable begin­ning in spring 2010. Neumann has like­wise announ­ced a portable version of the DMI Digi­tal Micro­phone Inter­face, powe­red by rechar­geable batte­ries, also to be avai­lable in 2010. Wolf­gang Frais­si­net, President of Marke­ting/Sales explains: “These two products will greatly faci­li­tate the reali­za­tion of a comple­tely digi­tal work­flow and the utili­za­tion of asso­cia­ted advan­tages, even for users in the ENG and film audio areas.”
