Neumann KM 185 Hypercardioid Small-diaphragm Condenser Microphone, Nickel
The KM 185 is a state-of-the-art small diaphragm condenser microphone with a tight, frequency-independent hypercardioid polar pattern. Its very natural, transparent sound with low self-noise and high SPL capability have made the KM 185 a worldwide stage and studio standard for many applications ranging from classical piano to heavy metal drums.
Features:
- Uniform hypercardioid pattern without off-axis colouration
- High suppression of unwanted sound
- Linear frequency response with a slight treble lift
- Low self-noise (15 dB-A)
- Low impedance output for long cable runs without transmission losses
- Compact size, visually unobtrusive
- Includes: KM 185 Microphone, WNS 100 Windscreen, SG 21 bk Stand Mount Swivel
Specifications:
- Acoustic Operating Principle: Pressure Gradient Transducer
- Directional Pattern: Hypercardioid
- Frequency Range: 20 Hz - 20 kHz
- Sensitivity at 1 kHz into 1 kΩ: 10 mV/Pa ± 1 dB
- Rated Impedance: 50 Ω
- Rated Load Impedance: 1000 Ω
- Maximum Output Voltage: 10 dBu
- Supply Voltage: 48 V ± 4V
- Connector: XLR 3 F
- Dimensions: ø 22 mm (Diameter) x 107 mm (Length)
