Neumann KM 185 stereo set

Description

  • Set with 2x KM 185 (hypercardioid)
  • WNS 100 and SG 21
  • nickel
  • Top-class small diaphragm microphone
  • Hypercardioid characteristic without off-axis discoloration
  • Very low inherent noise
  • Very level stable
  • Transformerless switching


The KM 185 is a top-class small diaphragm microphone with a uniform, frequency-independent hypercardioid characteristic. Its natural, transparent sound with low noise and high level stability has made the KM 185 a worldwide stage and studio standard that covers almost all applications, from classical piano to heavy metal drums.

Features:

  • Consistent, frequency-independent hypercardioid characteristic
  • Good suppression of unwanted sound components
  • Linear frequency response with slight treble boost
  • Very low inherent noise (15 dB-A)
  • Low output impedance allows long cable runs without loss of sound
  • Compact design, visually inconspicuous
