The Neumann KM 185 MT is a state-of-the-art small diaphragm condenser microphone with a tight, frequency-independent hyper-cardioid polar pattern. Its very natural, transparent sound with low self-noise and high Sound Pressure Level capability have made the KM 185 a worldwide stage and studio standard for many applications ranging from classical piano to heavy metal drums.
Neumann KM 185 MT features
- uniform hyper-cardioid pattern without off-axis coloration
- 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
