Product Overview

The Neumann KK 205 brings the precision of the award-winning KMS 105 wired microphone to the wireless world. Developed through a landmark partnership between Neumann and Sennheiser, this capsule allows artists to enjoy the transparency of a true condenser without being tethered by a cable. The supercardioid pattern is more directional than a standard cardioid, offering tighter focus on the singer and superior isolation from neighboring instruments and stage monitors.
 

Product Description

Unrivaled Supercardioid Precision:

The KK 205 is engineered for the most demanding stage conditions. Its supercardioid polar pattern is remarkably consistent across all frequencies, providing high rejection of sound arriving from the sides and rear (maximum rejection at approx. $120^{\circ}$). This makes it the perfect choice for users of in-ear monitors or for performers standing in front of loud floor wedges, as it ensures an incredibly high threshold of gain-before-feedback.

The "Neumann Sound" Wirelessly:

While most wireless microphones rely on dynamic capsules to handle stage abuse, the KK 205 utilizes a true condenser capsule. It offers a vastly superior transient response compared to dynamic alternatives, resulting in an immediate, emotional vocal sound with an "airy" top-end. The frequency response is smooth and detailed, requiring minimal EQ at the mixing console to achieve a professional, broadcast-ready tone.

Optimized for Close-Miking:

To ensure a clean, natural sound for vocalists who work the mic closely, the KK 205 features an integrated fixed low-cut filter. This compensates for the proximity effect, preventing the bass from becoming muddy or overwhelming when the singer's lips touch the grille. Additionally, the internal shock-mount design effectively eliminates handling noise, allowing the performer to move freely without mechanical interference.

Tour-Ready Durability:

Housed in a hardened steel headgrille, the capsule is protected by a multi-stage internal pop screen. This design not only suppresses plosives ($P$ and $B$ sounds) and sibilance but also acts as a moisture shield, protecting the sensitive condenser element from humidity and sweat during high-energy performances.
