Product Overview

Because of its optimized mechanical construction and conscious omission of modularity, which is unnecessary in many cases, Neumann's "Series 180" KM 184 is predestined for economy-minded production and home recording studios. The KM 184 cardioid microphone has become a standard within the global studio community. The KM 184's slender shape and the transmission characteristics described below make it especially suitable for a wide range of tasks in the radio and television sector. Experienced users often describe the sound of our small diaphragm microphone as fresh and vivid. This is due, among other factors, to a slight treble lift around 9kHz. The KM 184 is an experienced all-rounder, a mic for all seasons. It captures virtually any instrument with amazing complexity and depth of sound.
