Explore the exceptional clarity and precision of the Neumann SKM 185 Stereo Nickel Microphone Set, a professional-grade audio recording solution designed for discerning sound engineers, producers, and musicians. This premium set includes a stereo matched pair of KM 185 NI microphones, renowned for their hypercardioid polar pattern and pressure gradient condenser design, making them ideal for a multitude of live sound reinforcement, broadcast, and recording applications.
The KM 185 NI microphones are a proud part of the KM 180 series, boasting an output stage that echoes the esteemed KM 100 model. The transformerless circuitry ensures a pure signal path, resulting in a high output gain coupled with an exceptionally low noise floor. This meticulous engineering eliminates unwanted coloration, delivering a true-to-source audio capture.
Powered by +48 Volt phantom power, the KM 185 NI microphones are meticulously matched in sensitivity and frequency response, ensuring harmonious stereo imaging and optimal results when recording performances or environmental ambiance. With a comprehensive frequency response range of 20-20kHz, these microphones offer versatility to adapt to a wide array of recording scenarios.
The hypercardioid polar pattern of the KM 185 NI microphones provides focused audio capture with significant attenuation of off-axis sounds, which is perfect for targeted miking techniques such as X/Y and ORTF stereo configurations, as well as isolating specific sound sources like drum overheads, string sections, wind instruments, percussion, pianos, and guitar amplifiers.
Capable of handling sound pressure levels up to 142dB, the KM 185 NI microphones excel at close miking instruments with high transient (peak) level responses, ensuring that even the most dynamic performances are captured with precision and detail.
Constructed with durability and portability in mind, the compact and rugged design of the KM 185 NI microphones allows for effortless placement in any recording environment. The elegant nickel finish not only adds a professional aesthetic but also serves a practical purpose by being non-reflective, minimizing distractions during video-recorded sessions or live performances.
Included in this set are two SG21/17MT swivel mounts, providing secure and flexible positioning options, and two WNS100 windscreens to reduce unwanted wind noise and plosives, ensuring clean recordings even in challenging outdoor conditions. The entire set is housed in a stylish and protective woodbox, ensuring your microphones are safely stored and transported.
Elevate your audio recording capabilities with the Neumann SKM 185 Stereo Nickel Microphone Set, a testament to Neumann's commitment to audio excellence and a trusted choice for professionals seeking the highest quality sound reproduction.
