Neumann KMS 105 Supercardioid Condenser Handheld Microphone (Nickel) NEW! The nickel 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. Product HighlightsK 105 Supercardioid CapsuleLow Self-NoiseTransformerlessGood Pop Shielding Without Side EffectsIncludes Stand ClampThe nickel 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.
