Product Overview

The Neumann KK 104 S (Model: 008534) is a world-class, professional-grade condenser microphone capsule head designed specifically for use with high-end Sennheiser wireless systems (including the SKM 5200 and SKM 5000 N series). Finished in a stunning Nickel (Satin), this capsule brings the legendary "Neumann Sound" to the wireless stage. Featuring a precision-engineered cardioid polar pattern, the KK 104 S delivers the transparency, detail, and emotional intimacy of a studio microphone while providing the rugged reliability required for world-touring performances.

Product Description

Studio Fidelity on Stage: The KK 104 S is based on the award-winning KMS series of wired stage microphones. It captures the full frequency spectrum with a flat, natural response and a gentle treble boost that adds "air" and clarity to vocals. This allows singers to hear their performance with the same detail and nuance they would experience in a controlled studio environment.

Superior Feedback Rejection: The cardioid polar pattern is mathematically optimized to be exceptionally consistent across all frequencies. This results in excellent rejection of sound from the rear ($180^{\circ}$), minimizing the risk of feedback even on loud stages with high-volume floor monitors. It ensures that the only thing being transmitted is the pure, uncolored voice of the artist.

Advanced Pop & Handling Protection: Neumann has integrated a multi-stage acoustic filter within the headgrille to suppress explosive plosives ("P" and "B" sounds) without muffling the high end. Additionally, the internal capsule mounting is shock-protected to eliminate mechanical handling noise, ensuring a clean signal even during high-energy performances.

Seamless Sennheiser Integration: Designed in collaboration with Sennheiser, this capsule head threads perfectly onto SKM 5200 and SKM 5000 N handheld transmitters. The electrical interface is optimized for wireless transmission, maintaining the wide dynamic range and low self-noise that Neumann is famous for.

Durable Satin Nickel Finish: The "S" designation stands for the classic Neumann Satin Nickel finish. This not only gives the microphone a premium, iconic look under stage lights but also provides a highly durable surface that resists wear and tear over years of professional use.
