Neumann KM 185 mt Stereo Set Small Diaphragm Condenser Microphones, Stereo Pair, Black

The Neumann KM 185 mt Stereo Set comes includes two each: KM 185, SG 21 BK, WNS 100 in one wood box.

The Neumann KM 185 has hypercardioid characteristic features attenuation of sound incidence from the side or rear of about 10 dB, with minimum sensitivity at an angle of 120°. The "Series 180" microphones have the same transformerless circuitry as is used in the KM 100 system, resulting in excellent technical specifications. The microphones operate without any problems, even if the input of following equipment happens to be unbalanced, for example as in some DAT recorders. The output of the "Series 180", as in all Neumann microphones, is balanced and phantom (48V) powered.

The Neumann SG21BK is a swivel mount with a plastic clamp for miniature microphones. It has a 5/8"-27 female thread, plus a thread adapter to connect to 1/2"- and 3/8" stands.

The WNS100 is a windscreen. Close range sounds, wind, and fast movements of the microphone boom, all may cause interfering noises. To avoid these unwanted sounds, windscreen accessories are available. Typically, they are made out of open-cell polyurethane foam. These windscreens do not cause interfering resonances and do not influence the directional pattern. Only in the upper frequency range is the output level slightly attenuated. The wind noise attenuation was measured without electrical filtering in a turbulent air stream traveling at 20km/h, generated by a noiseless wind machine. Acoustically transparent wind and pop protection with improved efficiency. Wind noise attenuation 21dB. Attenuation at 15kHz 1dB. Diameter 45mm, length 70mm. Color black.
