Product Overview
The Neumann KK 105 HD bk (Model: 008560) represents the pinnacle of wireless vocal performance. Finished in a professional, non-reflective Matte Black (bk), the "HD" (Heavy Duty) version is specifically engineered for the high-intensity demands of world tours and major broadcast events. Designed for seamless integration with Sennheiser SKM 5200 and SKM 5000 N handheld transmitters, this capsule head delivers the legendary "Neumann Sound"—transparent, detailed, and intimate—with the ruggedness required for the most challenging stage environments.
Product Description
The "Heavy Duty" (HD) Advantage:
The KK 105 HD bk is built for performance under pressure. Unlike standard wire gauze models, the HD variant features an integrated multi-layer foam pop screen. This specialized foam provides superior attenuation of plosives ("P" and "B" sounds) and wind noise. Crucially for touring, the foam material offers a massive surface area that effectively absorbs moisture and humidity, protecting the sensitive condenser capsule during high-energy, sweat-heavy performances.
Studio Sound on the Wireless Stage:
Based on the multiple award-winning KMS 105 wired stage microphone, the KK 105 HD bk brings true studio fidelity to wireless systems. While most stage mics utilize dynamic capsules, the KK 105 HD bk is equipped with a true condenser capsule. This results in a vastly superior transient response, a smooth frequency range, and an "airy" top-end that captures the true emotional depth of a vocalist's performance.
Surgical Supercardioid Isolation:
The supercardioid polar pattern is remarkably tight and frequency-independent. This ensures maximum rejection of unwanted sound from the sides and rear ($120^{\circ}$), providing incredible gain-before-feedback. Even on crowded stages with loud drum kits and floor monitors, your voice remains direct, intimate, and perfectly isolated in the mix.
Unrivaled SPL Capability:
Engineered to handle the most powerful vocalists, the KK 105 HD bk can withstand extreme sound pressure levels of up to 150 dB without clipping. Whether it’s a subtle whisper or a rock anthem, the signal remains pure and distortion-free.
