The KM 184 is a versatile small-diaphragm condenser microphone designed for both studio and stage use. Known for its transparent and natural sound, it excels with acoustic instruments like piano, drums, percussion, acoustic guitar, upright bass, strings, woodwinds, and brass. Suitable for soloists and ensembles alike, its superior off-axis behavior makes it ideal for stereo and surround recordings, delivering precise imaging. While not specifically optimized for vocals, the KM 184 is favored in classical music and applications where sonic authenticity is essential. Its compact design also makes it unobtrusive and perfect for TV and radio use.
Key Features:
- Consistent cardioid pickup pattern with minimal off-axis coloration
- Linear frequency response enhanced by a gentle treble boost
- Extremely low self-noise (13 dB-A) for detailed recordings
- Low impedance output ensures signal integrity over long cable runs
- Transformerless design for a clean and direct sound
