Neumann KM 185 Microphone: Unleash Sonic Precision
Introducing the Neumann KM 185 Microphone, a masterpiece of small diaphragm condenser technology that embodies the essence of precision, transparency, and versatility. With its tight, frequency-independent hypercardioid polar pattern, the KM 185 delivers a natural, uncolored sound that has made it a revered standard on stages and in studios worldwide, spanning from the elegant resonance of classical piano to the thunderous pulse of heavy metal drums.
A Symphony of Fidelity
In an era where microphones often impart their own sonic signature, the Neumann Series 180 stands as a testament to authenticity. Designed to honor the original acoustic event without embellishments, the Series 180 is the embodiment of sonic faithfulness.
The Series 180 comprises three stellar members: KM 183 (omni), KM 184 (cardioid), and the radiant star of precision, the KM 185 (hypercardioid). These microphones are a cost-effective choice, unburdened by modularity, making them a practical alternative to the modular KM A and KM D series, without compromising on excellence.
Hypercardioid Mastery
The KM 185 introduces you to the pinnacle of Neumann's engineering prowess. Its hypercardioid pattern boasts frequency-independent brilliance, showcasing remarkable rejection of rearward sound (120°) even at low frequencies. The result is an impeccable sonic canvas untainted by coloration, ensuring that multi-microphone setups and precise stereo/surround imaging are executed flawlessly.
A symphony of sonic transparency awaits with the KM 185's frequency response, adorned with a gentle treble lift around 10 kHz for an added touch of brilliance. The transformative transformerless head amplifier leads to a dynamic range of 127 dB, meticulously designed to preserve the capsule's sonic integrity. A low self-noise of only 15 dB-A and the ability to handle sound pressure levels of up to 142 dB free from distortion solidify the KM 185's place as a paragon of excellence. Its low impedance output stage allows for cable runs of up to 300 meters (1000 feet) without loss of transmission.
