Product Overview

The Neumann KK 205 bk is the high-performance wireless counterpart to the award-winning KMS 105 wired stage microphone. By combining Neumann's acoustic excellence with Sennheiser’s world-leading wireless technology, this capsule provides a high-resolution vocal image that remains consistent even on the most demanding world tours. The "bk" version offers a durable, non-reflective black finish, making it the preferred choice for television broadcasts, theater, and modern stage setups.

Product Description

Precision Supercardioid Control:

The KK 205 bk is specifically designed for high-pressure stages. Its supercardioid polar pattern is tighter than a standard cardioid, offering significantly more rejection of sound arriving from the sides. This ensures that the vocal signal remains isolated from loud drums, guitar cabinets, and monitor wedges. With the point of minimum sensitivity at approximately $120^{\circ}$, it provides an incredibly high threshold of gain-before-feedback, making it a favorite for artists using floor monitors.

The Condenser Advantage:

While many wireless microphones use dynamic capsules to survive stage life, the KK 205 bk features a true condenser capsule. This allows for a vastly superior transient response and a much wider frequency range. It captures the subtle "air" and emotional nuance of a performance with a natural warmth that requires minimal EQ. The result is a vocal that sounds "finished" and professional the moment it hits the mixing desk.

Optimized for Proximity:

Singers often work the microphone very closely on stage. To prevent the "muddy" sound associated with the proximity effect, the KK 205 bk includes an integrated acoustic low-cut filter. This ensures clear, punchy bass even when the performer's lips are touching the grille. Furthermore, the internal shock-mount design effectively suppresses handling noise, allowing for high-energy movement without mechanical interference.

Rugged & Reliable Construction:

The KK 205 bk is built for the rigors of the road. The hardened steel headgrille protects a multi-stage internal pop protection system. This design not only eliminates plosives ($P, B$ sounds) and sibilance but also serves as a moisture shield, protecting the sensitive electronics from humidity and sweat during a long set.
