Neumann KM185 Stereo Set

The Neumann KM 185 Stereo Set hyper-cardioid microphones are based on the tremendously successful KM 184 cardioid microphone, which has become a standard within the global studio community in just a very short time.

The Neumann KM 185 Microphones are suitable for a very wide range of tasks in the radio and television sector. The KM 185 with its hyper-cardioid characteristic features attenuation of sound incidence from the side or rear of about 10 dB, with minimum sensitivity at an angle of 120°.

The Neumann KM 185 Stereo Set is a good choice for all users who look for high-quality miniature microphones.

The Neumann KM 185 Stereo Set Main Features Include:

• Hypercardioid microphones Pressure gradient transducers
• Successor of the worldwide successful KM 83/84
