Home / Neumann 008559 Microphone Head (SKM 5200/5000 N) KK 105 HD Supercardioid condenser capsule head for Sennheiser wireless systems
.jpg)
The Neumann KK 105 HD (Model: 008559) is the ultimate performance upgrade for your Sennheiser SKM 5200/5000 N wireless transmitters. Finished in a classic Nickel, the "HD" (Heavy Duty) variant is specifically designed for the most demanding touring environments. It combines the legendary studio transparency of a Neumann condenser with the extreme ruggedness needed for world-class stages. Featuring a precision supercardioid pattern, it provides exceptional isolation from surrounding instruments and maximum gain-before-feedback.
The "Heavy Duty" Advantage:
The primary difference in the HD version is its specialized internal construction. While the standard KK 105 uses wire gauze, the KK 105 HD features an integrated foam pop screen. This multi-layer foam design provides significantly higher resistance to plosives ("P" and "B" sounds) and wind noise. Furthermore, the foam pores offer a massive surface area that effectively keeps moisture (sweat and humidity) away from the sensitive capsule, ensuring consistent performance even during long, high-energy shows.
Studio Sound on the Wireless Stage:
Based on the multiple award-winning KMS 105 wired microphone, the KK 105 HD brings true studio fidelity to wireless systems. Most stage microphones use dynamic capsules, but the KK 105 HD uses a true condenser capsule. This results in a vastly superior transient response, an airy top-end, and a natural warmth that captures every emotional nuance of a vocalist's performance.
Maximum Isolation & Feedback Resistance:
The supercardioid polar pattern is remarkably tight and frequency-independent. This means it rejects unwanted sound from the sides and rear with surgical precision. Even on a crowded stage with loud floor monitors and drum kits, the KK 105 HD ensures the voice remains direct, intimate, and free from feedback.
Enormous SPL Capability:
Don't let the "condenser" label fool you—this capsule is built like a tank. It can handle massive sound pressure levels of up to 150 dB without clipping or distortion. Whether it's a whisper or a powerful rock vocal, the KK 105 HD delivers uncompromised audio integrity.
