Its precision manufactured condenser capsule offers true Neumann sound quality, combined with all the virtues of a rugged stage microphone: excellent pop protection, low handling noise, enormous SPL capability, and high feedback resistance, thanks to its tight cardioid pattern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eThe KMS 104 brings studio sound quality to the stage. Unlike usual stage microphones, which use dynamic capsules, the KMS 104 is equipped with a true condenser microphone capsule offering the superior clarity that made Neumann studio microphones famous all over the world. At the same time, the KMS 104 possesses the ruggedness required of a stage mic, thus refuting the myth that condenser microphones must be “fragile”.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eThe KMS 104 can stand enormous sound pressure levels of up to 150 dB without clipping, and its tight, frequency-independent cardioid pattern ensures high gain before feedback. The KMS 104 has a much smoother frequency response than dynamic microphones and an airy top-end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eCompared to dynamic microphones, the Neumann KMS 104 has a vastly superior transient response resulting in a more immediate and more emotional vocal sound. In practical terms: effortless intelligibility, without the usual EQ boosts – which further improves feedback resistance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eAs a stage microphone, the KMS 104 is optimized for close miking; a fixed low cut filter compensates for the proximity effect and ensures clear bass, even if the singer’s lips touch the microphone. The headgrille is made of hardened steel and features a highly effective internal pop screen which also keeps moisture away from the capsule.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eThanks to careful Neumann engineering, these acoustic filters do not cause any sibilance problems. The head amplifier is protected by a thick-walled housing. Its transformerless output minimizes electromagnetic interference, such as hum. Because of its low output impedance of only 50 ohms, the KMS 104 can drive very long cable runs of up to 300 m (1000 ft) without transmission losses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr noshade\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCardioid pattern with excellent feedback rejection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStudio quality condenser capsule\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTransparent sound with a gentle treble lift\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcellent pop protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTight cardioid pattern without off-axis coloration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnaffected by extreme sound pressure levels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRugged construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeedback resistant, high rejection of rearward sound (180°)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt-in pop screen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVery low handling noise\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr noshade\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcoustical operating principle: Pressure gradient transducer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirectional Pattern: Cardioid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency Range: 20 Hz ... 20 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSensitivity at 1 kHz into 1 kohm: 4.5 mV\/Pa ± 1 dB equ. -47 dBV\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRated Impedance: 50 ohms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRated load impedance: 1 kohms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEquivalent noise level, CCIR 1: 28 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEquivalent noise level, A-weighted 2: 18 dB-A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum SPL for THD 0.5% 3: 150 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSignal-to-noise ratio, CCIR (re. 94 dB SPL) 4: 66 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSignal-to-noise ratio, A-weighted (re. 94 dB SPL) 5: 76 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum output voltage: 12 dBu\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupply voltage (P48, IEC 61938): 48 V ± 4 V\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCurrent consumption (P48, IEC 61938): 3.5 mA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMatching connector: XLR 3 F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: approx. 300 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiameter: 48 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength: 180 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Neumann","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51004894740768,"sku":"008549","price":1149.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0953\/3793\/9232\/files\/008549_1.jpg?v=1765944149","url":"https:\/\/megamusiconline.com.au\/products\/008549-neumann-kms104bk-hand-held-cardioid-condenser-microphone","provider":"Mega Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
