Neumann KK 104 U Universal Capsule Head Cardioid

Premium Neumann Sound for Wireless Systems
The Neumann KK 104 U brings legendary studio-grade clarity to your wireless setup. This precision-manufactured cardioid condenser capsule head is designed to work with third-party wireless transmitters, offering transparent sound, exceptional pop protection, high SPL handling, and strong feedback resistance. Whether onstage or at large broadcast events, it delivers a professional sound experience with the ruggedness needed for live use.

True Studio-Quality Condenser Design
Unlike most stage microphones that rely on dynamic capsules, the KK 104 U features a true condenser capsule derived from Neumann’s acclaimed KMS series. This design provides remarkable transient response, richer vocal detail, and a smooth frequency response with an airy top-end that dynamic mics simply cannot match. The result is effortless vocal intelligibility and a clear, emotional performance that cuts through any live mix.

Optimized for Close-Miking Applications
Built for the realities of live performance, the KK 104 U is optimized for singers who work close to the mic. A fixed low-cut filter compensates for proximity effect, ensuring tight, clear bass even with lips against the grille. The hardened steel headgrille houses an internal pop screen that protects the capsule from moisture while minimizing plosives and sibilance, keeping your signal clean in the most demanding environments.

Durable and Stage-Ready Construction
The KK 104 U is built to withstand the rigors of professional touring. Its rugged headgrille and internal shock-mount design offer outstanding resistance to handling noise, protecting your sound quality even during energetic stage performances. With its ability to handle extremely high SPL without distortion, the KK 104 U remains reliable no matter how intense the performance gets.

Broad Compatibility with Wireless Systems
Designed for maximum versatility, the KK 104 U is compatible with major third-party wireless systems including Shure Axient Digital, ULX-D, QLX-D, SLX-D series, Sony models, Mipro ACT series, and Lectrosonics models. It offers performers, broadcasters, and presenters an easy upgrade path to pristine Neumann sound without changing their existing wireless infrastructure.

Perfect for Broadcasts, Concerts, and Live Productions
Already trusted on some of the world’s largest stages and high-profile TV events like the Eurovision Song Contest, the KK 104 U delivers elite performance under pressure. It offers a cardioid pickup pattern with frequency-independent directivity, maximizing gain before feedback while providing excellent off-axis rejection. This ensures a controlled, professional sound in both in-ear and wedge monitor setups.
