Neumann KM 184 mt Small Diaphragm Cardioid Microphone

KM 184 MT

Experienced users often describe the sound of our small diaphragm microphone as fresh and vivid. This is – among other factors – due to a slight treble lift around 9 kilohertz. The KM 184 is an experienced all-rounder, a mic for all seasons. It captures virtually any instrument with amazing complexity and depth of sound.

Another advantage: thanks to the extremely tight production tolerances, all KM184 microphones produce a very consistent sound. Therefore, they can easily be used as a stereo pair with exact spatial imaging for all stereo recording methods.
