Product Overview

The Neumann KK 105 S bk (Model: 008476) is a high-end capsule head finished in a professional Matte Black (bk), designed exclusively for Sennheiser SKM 5000/5200 handheld transmitters. This capsule represents the perfect marriage of Neumann’s legendary studio precision and Sennheiser’s world-leading wireless engineering. By bringing the acclaimed sound of the wired KMS 105 microphone to the wireless domain, the KK 105 S bk allows vocalists to experience uncompromised clarity and emotional intimacy with the total freedom of a cordless stage setup.

Product Description

The Wireless "Neumann Sound" Standard:

The KK 105 S bk is based on the award-winning KMS series. While many stage capsules are dynamic, this is a true condenser capsule, offering a much smoother frequency response and an "airy" top-end. It delivers a full, transparent, and naturally warm sound without the artificial bass boost often found in close-miking stage microphones.

Elite Supercardioid Isolation:

Engineered for loud and feedback-prone environments, the supercardioid polar pattern is remarkably tight and uniform across the entire frequency range. It provides exceptional rejection of sound from the rear ($120^{\circ}$ to $180^{\circ}$), ensuring that your vocals stay isolated from neighboring instruments, drum bleed, and floor monitors. This high gain-before-feedback makes it a favorite for both In-Ear Monitoring (IEM) and traditional wedge setups.

Superior Transients & Natural Intelligibility:

The capsule’s fast transient response results in a more immediate and "present" vocal sound. This high level of natural intelligibility means you won’t need aggressive EQ boosts at the mixing console, which further preserves the natural tone of the singer and minimizes feedback risks.

Rugged Construction for Global Tours:

Despite its studio-grade sensitivity, the KK 105 S bk is built to endure. It features a hardened steel headgrille with a highly effective multi-layer wire gauze pop screen. This internal shield suppresses plosives ("P" and "B" sounds) and keeps moisture away from the capsule without causing sibilance issues. It can also handle massive Sound Pressure Levels (SPL) up to 150 dB without clipping.
