Home / Neumann 008652 Microphone Head (for Sennheiser wireless systems) KK 204 bk Cardioid condenser capsule head for Sennheiser wireless systems
Product Overview
The Neumann KK 204 bk is the result of a milestone collaboration between Neumann and Sennheiser. By adapting the acoustic design of the award-winning KMS 104 wired stage microphone for wireless transmitters, Neumann has made its legendary studio precision available to vocalists who require total freedom of movement. The "bk" version features a durable black finish that is preferred for modern stage aesthetics and televised events where a discreet, professional look is required.
Product Description
The Best of Both Worlds:
The KK 204 bk brings the "Neumann DNA" to the world’s most reliable wireless infrastructure. While most handheld wireless mics use dynamic capsules, the KK 204 utilizes a true condenser capsule. This provides a vastly superior transient response, capturing the subtle nuances of a vocal performance that dynamic mics often miss. The result is a sound that is full, transparent, and naturally warm without being muddy.
Engineered for High-Pressure Stages:
Stage volume can be a vocalist's worst enemy. The KK 204 bk features a tight, frequency-independent cardioid polar pattern that ensures high gain-before-feedback. It provides excellent suppression of sound originating from the rear ($180^{\circ}$), allowing the voice to remain isolated from loud drum kits or monitor wedges. This surgical precision allows front-of-house engineers to achieve incredible vocal clarity even in "noisy" acoustic environments.
Advanced Protection & Reliability:
Despite its high-resolution studio performance, the KK 204 bk is built for the road. The headgrille is made of hardened steel and houses a multi-stage internal pop protection system. This design effectively suppresses plosives ($P, B$ sounds) and prevents moisture from reaching the sensitive condenser capsule. Furthermore, the internal suspension is optimized to reduce handling noise to negligible levels.
Seamless Wireless Integration:
The KK 204 bk is designed to thread directly onto a wide range of Sennheiser handheld transmitters, including the SKM 2000, Digital 6000/9000, and the Evolution Wireless G4 (300/500) and EW-D series. This allows artists to upgrade their audio quality significantly without changing their trusted RF setup.
