纽曼,原名为德文NEUMANN,也就是新人的意思。作为大自然的规律,人总是要变老的,可是纽曼这个名字在专业音频领域里至今已经响亮了79年,却仍保持其声誉,成为一个永葆青春的名字。提起纽曼话筒,在音响领域几乎无人不知、无人不晓。在1923年,一位德国的年轻工程师乔治·纽曼（Georg Neumann）就制成了高质量碳素话筒用于电话通讯,从此开始了他研制话筒的光辉历史。在1928年,纽曼先生正式研制成功了红极一时的纽曼瓶状话筒（图1）,这个传统一直延续到脍炙人口的里程碑话筒U47、U67、U87和U89（图2-图6）。从此印有NEUMANN字样的产品铭牌和总部在德国首都柏林的纽曼公司也正式问世,纽曼公司的历史时间线从此开始刻录。

The KMR 81 D is the transition of the well-established KMR 81 i shotgun microphone into the digital domain. It provides all of the features of its analog counterpart, which made it a favorite of sound engineers in movie and documentary productions. Additionally it offers the advantages of the digital circuit technology, such as extended dynamic range, a more robust operation (EMC safe) and the avoidance of clipping as a result of the integrated peak limiter/compressor. 

The settings for all functions can be recalled, set and stored in the microphone by using one of the digital microphone interfaces.

Further information on this microphone can be found at the webpages of the analog variant, the KMR 81 i.
