It sounds really nice. This is the best mic that I had purchased. So far, I really like it.

Become the master of live vocal performances with the Neumann KMS 105 Supercardiod Vocal Condenser Microphone in Nickel. Engineered with precision to deliver unparalleled clarity, this microphone is a testament to Neumann's commitment to audio excellence, capturing every nuance of the human voice with its high acoustic resolution and smooth frequency response.

The KMS 105 is designed to thrive in the challenging environment of live stages, offering vocalists complete control over their sound. Its supercardioid pickup pattern excels in isolating the singer's voice, adeptly suppressing unwanted noise from the 180-degree hemisphere behind the microphone. This directional precision, coupled with the microphone's low self-noise and minimal coloration, makes it an exceptional choice for artists using in-ear monitoring systems.

Drawing from Neumann's studio condenser technology, the KMS 105 boasts a capsule that conveys the subtleties of the voice with high transparency and a broad 20Hz to 20kHz frequency range. The transient response is finely resolved, setting this microphone apart from the typical dynamic handheld options. Advanced acoustic filters and transformerless impedance converters are calibrated to handle extreme sound pressure levels, ensuring plosive sounds are managed effectively without overloading the microphone.

The KMS 105 doesn't compromise on sibilance, transmitting "S" sounds with their natural timbre and without introducing harshness. These acoustic filters also maintain the capsule's distinct directional characteristics across all frequencies, including the bass range, contributing to superior feedback resistance when paired with stage sound systems.

Electronically, the KMS 105 addresses the proximity effect inherent in close-range vocal work with an electronic compensation mechanism. A built-in high-pass filter with a 120Hz cutoff frequency aids in delivering a clean sound. The microphone's ability to handle up to 150dB of maximum sound pressure level, combined with its low self-noise, allows for high gain usage without the fear of noise interference. The transformerless output circuit ensures that your signal remains pure, even over long cable runs, granting artists the freedom to move and express themselves without constraint.

Mechanically, the KMS 105 is built to endure the rigors of live performance. Its robust construction features a thick-walled metal housing that effectively shields against handling noise. The hardened steel grille of the microphone head not only protects the capsule but can also be unscrewed for easy maintenance of the internal acoustic filters.

Elevate your live vocal presence with the Neumann KMS 105 Supercardiod Vocal Condenser Microphone, a professional-grade tool that brings studio-quality sound to the stage.
