Neumann KM185 Hypercardioid Condenser Microphone - Black

The KM 185 is a state-of-the-art small diaphragm condenser microphone with a tight, frequency-independent hypercardioid polar pattern. Its very natural, transparent sound with low self-noise and high SPL capability have made the KM 185 a worldwide stage and studio standard for many applications ranging from classical piano to heavy metal drums.

Features:

• Uniform hypercardioid pattern without off-axis coloration
• High suppression of unwanted sound
• Linear frequency response with a slight treble lift
• Low self-noise (15 dB-A)
• Low impedance output for long cable runs without transmission losses
• Compact size, visually unobtrusive
