The KMS105 brings studio sound quality to the stage. Unlike typical stage microphones, which use dynamic capsules, the KMS105 is equipped with a true condenser microphone capsule, offering the superior clarity that made Neumann studio microphones famous all over the world.
At the same time, the KMS105 possesses the ruggedness required of a stage mic, thus refuting the myth that condenser microphones must be fragile. The KMS 105 can stand enormous sound pressure levels of up to 150dB without clipping, and its tight, frequency-independent supercardioid pattern ensures high gain before feedback.
The KMS105 has a much smoother frequency response than dynamic microphones and an airy top end. Compared to dynamic microphones, the Neumann KMS 105 has a vastly superior transient response resulting in a more immediate, more emotional vocal sound. In practical terms: effortless intelligibility, without the usual EQ boosts, which further improves feedback resistance.
As a stage microphone, the KMS105 is optimized for close miking; a fixed low cut filter compensates for the proximity effect and ensures clear bass, even if the singer’s lips touch the microphone. The head-grille is made of hardened steel and features a carefully designed multi-level pop filter made of wire gauze. Because of its low output impedance of only 50ohms, the KMS105 can drive very long cable runs of up to 300m (1000ft) without transmission losses.
