Take your audio recording and broadcasting to the next level with the Neumann Hypercardioid Nickel Microphone, a premium quality pressure gradient condenser microphone designed for live sound reinforcement, broadcast, and diverse recording applications. This high-performance microphone is part of the renowned KM 180 series, known for their transformerless circuitry and balanced output, delivering high output gain, an impressively low noise floor, and a pure, uncolored output signal.
The KM 185 NI model is powered by +48 Volt phantom power and boasts a broad 20Hz-20kHz frequency response, offering versatility for use in a multitude of recording scenarios. From X, Y, and ORTF stereo miking to spot capturing of drum overheads, strings, wind instruments, percussion, piano, and amp cabinets, this microphone is a versatile addition to any professional audio setup.
One of the standout features of the KM 185 NI is its hypercardioid polar pattern, which provides greater attenuation at the off-axis sections of the microphone. This results in a tighter pattern with significantly less noise caused by ambiance, ensuring your recordings are crystal clear and free from unwanted interference.
Built to handle sound pressure levels up to 142dB, the KM 185 NI allows for close miking of instruments high in transient (peak) level response. This makes it an ideal choice for capturing the nuances of various instruments in high-definition.
The compact and rugged construction of the KM 185 NI ensures easy microphone placement and durability, making it a reliable choice for on-the-road use. To top it off, the non-reflective nickel finish not only adds to the microphone's aesthetic appeal but also enhances its durability, making the Neumann Hypercardioid Nickel Microphone a perfect blend of form and function in professional audio equipment.
