Now also available in attractive stereo sets, with cardioid, hypercardioid or omni directional characteristics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe \"Series 180\" consists of three compact miniature microphones with patterns that satisfy the demands of all common studio applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBecause of its optimized mechanical construction and conscious omission of modularity, which is unnecessary in many cases, the \"Series 180\" is predestined for economy-minded production and home recording studios.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe KM 183 omnidirectional and KM 185 hypercardioid microphones are based on the tremendously successful KM 184 cardioid microphone, which has become a standard within the global studio community in just a very short time. All \"Series 180\" microphones are available with either matte black or nickel finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eApplications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTheir slender shapes and the transmission characteristics described below make the \"Series 180\" especially suitable for a very wide range of tasks in the radio and television sector.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAcoustic features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe KM 183 and KM 184 microphones are the successors of the well proven KM 83 and KM 84, which have been used since the seventies worldwide with great success. The KM 185 rounds out the series with a hypercardioid microphone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe KM 183 is a pressure transducer with a boost of approximately 7 dB at 10 kHz in the free field. In the diffuse sound field it has a flat frequency response. The pressure gradient transducers KM 184 and KM 185 feature very smooth frequency responses not only for the 0° axis, but also for lateral (off-axis) sound incidence. In typical usage, there is no coloration of sound over a wide pickup angle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAlthough the KM 184 has the same capsule as the KM 84, the microphone differs slightly on the 0° frequency response: The KM 184 has a gentle rise at about 9 kHz, a characteristic that was introduced very successfully with the KM 140. The result is a tonal balance that is fresher and livelier when compared to the KM 84 with its flat frequency response in that band.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis difference was achieved with just a slight change of the capsule’s rear opening, and is not due to resonances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe KM 185 with its hypercardioid characteristic features attenuation of sound incidence from the side or rear of about 10 dB, with minimum sensitivity at an angle of 120°.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eElectrical features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe \"Series 180\" microphones have the same transformerless circuitry as is used in the KM 100 system, resulting in excellent technical specifications:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCompared to the KM 84 the dynamic range of the KM 184 increased by 24 dB mainly through the reduction of self-noise level to only 22 dB (CCIR) and an increased sound pressure handlingcapability of up to 138 dB.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe microphones operate without any problems, even if the input of following equipment happens to be unbalanced, for example as in some DAT recorders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe output of the \"Series 180\", as in all Neumann microphones, is balanced and phantom (48V) powered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEconomy\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe \"Series 180\" is a good choice for all users who look for a high-quality miniature microphone, but do not need the complex, modular KM 100 system, which continues to be part of the Neumann product range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe mechanical construction was simplified, for example, capsule and output stage cannot be separated from each other. For this reason the \"Series 180\" is an economical alternative without giving up the electroacoustic features the users expect from Neumann microphones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNeumann KM 184 Condenser Microphone Features:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSmall-diaphragm condenser mic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOf the \"fet 100\" series with a transformerless microphone circuit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCapsule with cardiod pick-up pattern\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eExceptionally low inherent self-noise (16dB A-weighted)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eExceptionally high overload capacity (up to 138dB SPL before overload)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eExceptionally clear sound reproduction free of coloration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eVery smooth frequency curves parallel to 0 degrees sound incidence\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e20Hz to 20kHz frequency range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEquivalent loudness level due to inherent noise: 16dB (DIN\/IEC 651 dB-A), 25dB (CCIR 468-3 weighted)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eS\/N ratio re:1Pa @ 1kHz, (CCIR 468-3 weighted) 69dB (S\/N = 94dB - equiv. noise) A-weighted: 78dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMax SPL for less than 0.5% THD: 138dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTotal dynamic range of the microphone amplifier (Max SPL-self noise): 122dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRequires 48V phantom powering ±4 V\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Neumann","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44381516497134,"sku":"KM 184 MT","price":1774.8,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0432\/8590\/5574\/files\/Neumann_KM_184_MT_KM_184_MT_Microphone_210676_1000x_jpg.webp?v=1698095956","url":"https:\/\/seconcept.com\/en-us\/products\/neumann-km-184-mt-cardioid-mic-with-k-40-capsule-sg-21-bk-wns-100","provider":"SE CONCEPT ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
