The Neumann KM 183 is a state-of-the-art small diaphragm condenser microphone with a frequency-independent omni-directional polar pattern. Its very natural, transparent sound with very low self-noise and high Sound Pressure Level capability have made the KM 183 a worldwide studio standard for many applications ranging from classical piano to heavy metal drums.
Neumann KM 183 features
- omni-directional polar pattern with excellent off-axis behavior
- diffuse-field equalized
- pressure transducer with unlimited bass response
- very low self-noise (13 dB-A)
- transformerless circuitry
- compact size, visually unobtrusive
