NEUMANN KMS 105 BK

The KMS 105 microphones have been developed for ideal transmission of the human voice and are therefore perfect especially for live performances. The KMS 105, which has been in production for a long time, has become the internationally recognized standard for the highest quality "stage" microphones.

The supercardioid KMS 105 effectively suppresses even sounds from a full 180° hemisphere against the axis.

The studio condenser capsules used in both microphones perfectly reproduce even the finest details of the human voice. Compared to other microphones, the KMS 105 has a clearer sound and a wider frequency range.

Since vocal microphones are supposed to be used for singing from a short distance, the microphone is equipped with electronic compensation for the "proximity" effect. It also has a built-in bass filter (120 Hz/-3 dB). The microphone's very low noise (18 dB-A) allows a high "gain" to be set without problems with other noise signals. Thanks to the use of transformerless circuitry, even long microphone cables can be used without signal loss.

The KMS 105 has a rugged construction and a metal body with a reinforced jacket. The protective grille of the microphone head is made of hardened steel.

It is available in matt nickel and matt black.
