Neumann KMS 105 - Live Vocal Condenser Microphone (Black)

The black KMS 105 microphone from Neumann has been specifically developed to optimally and clearly transmit the human voice within the demanding conditions present on a live stage. The high acoustic resolution and smooth frequency response of the microphone ensure that the musician has control of their performance at all times.

The microphone is also ideal for use with in-ear monitoring systems due to its low self-noise and coloration-free crosstalk behavior, while the supercardioid characteristic of the capsule is particularly good at suppressing sounds originating from the entire 180° hemisphere behind the microphone.

Acoustic Features

• The studio condenser capsule provides the basis for transmitting all the nuances of the human voice
• Delivers high acoustic transparency, wide frequency range, and a fine resolution of transients when compared to other mostly dynamic handheld microphones
• Carefully adjusted acoustic filters and transformerless impedance converters can handle very high sound pressure levels that prevent the microphone from being overloaded even by strong plosive sounds
• In spite of good pop protection, sibilants and "S" sounds are transmitted with their natural accentuation without added harshness
• The acoustic filters are designed so that the distinctive directional characteristics of the capsule are preserved even in the bass range
• The filters ensure a very high level of feedback protection when used with a stage sound system
