Neumann KMS 104 PLUS BK Features:
- MATTE BLACK FINISH — a low-glare black body that vanishes under stage lighting and reads clean on camera.
- EXTENDED BASS RESPONSE — adds emphasis around 100 to 150 Hz over the KMS 104 for extra warmth and weight on lighter voices.
- POPULAR WITH FEMALE VOCALISTS — the fuller low end suits singers who need body without dialing in console EQ.
- TRUE CONDENSER CAPSULE — the same studio-grade element as the nickel PLUS delivers airy, detailed lead vocals.
- TIGHT CARDIOID PATTERN — rejects monitor and backline spill for high gain before feedback.
- TOURING KIT INCLUDED — comes with an SG 105 stand clamp and a padded nylon bag for the road.
Neumann KMS 104 PLUS BK: Warm Voicing in a Camera-Ready Body
The Neumann KMS 104 PLUS BK is a handheld cardioid condenser stage vocal microphone that pairs extended bass response with a matte black, camera-friendly finish. It carries the KMS 104 plus voicing, the same studio condenser capsule with a low-end lift around 100 to 150 Hz, in a body that does not glare under stage lights. That combination suits lighter and female voices that also appear on camera. A transformerless 50-ohm output drives cable runs up to 1,000 feet to front of house. It is the warm-voiced KMS in a stealth finish.
Matte Black for Camera and Lighting
The BK's matte black coating absorbs the reflections a nickel body throws under heavy lighting and on broadcast cameras. For televised worship, filmed concerts, and theater, a non-reflective mic looks cleaner on screen. This finish is the only functional difference from the nickel KMS 104 PLUS. Performers who work in front of cameras value the understated look. The voicing and capsule below are unchanged.
Extended Bass and the Studio Capsule
Like the nickel plus, this model extends the low-frequency response beyond the standard KMS 104, adding warmth to voices that would otherwise sound thin. The lift around 100 to 150 Hz gives female and lighter voices body and authority without console EQ. Beneath it sits the same true studio condenser capsule that defines the KMS line. Sensitivity of 4.5 mV/Pa feeds front of house a strong, clean signal. Warmth and detail arrive together.
Feedback Control and Touring Build
The cardioid pattern is voiced for high gain before feedback, keeping the warmer vocal stable on a loud stage. A multi-level foam-free pop screen guards against plosives and shrugs off touring moisture. The mic handles up to 150 dB SPL and holds self-noise to 18 dB-A. Its mechanical design suppresses handling noise as the singer moves. It is built for the physical demands of nightly performance.
Sound and Situations
The KMS 104 PLUS BK delivers a warm, detailed studio-style vocal that flatters lighter voices while staying out of the camera's way. Touring vocals under stage lighting, on-camera performance, and female leads needing warmth are its natural jobs. As a true condenser it also spot-mikes instruments and serves broadcast duty when a channel is free. Its feedback resistance keeps it viable in untreated rooms. It joins the KMS 104 plus voicing to a finish built for the screen.
In the Box and Who Should Choose It
The KMS 104 PLUS BK ships with an SG 105 stand clamp and a padded nylon bag in its matte black finish. It suits the lighter-voiced or female vocalist who wants extra warmth and a camera-ready look. Those who do not need the black finish can choose the nickel plus, while singers with fuller voices may prefer the standard KMS 104. Televised worship, filmed events, and theater are its home. It combines warm voicing and a stealth finish in one handheld condenser.
