Product Overview
The Neumann KK 105 U bk marks a historic milestone: for the first time, the iconic "Neumann Sound" is available for 3rd-party wireless systems. This premium supercardioid condenser capsule head, finished in a professional Matte Black (bk), features a universal interface that allows it to be used with handheld transmitters from manufacturers like Shure, Sony, Lectrosonics, and MIPRO. Based on the award-winning KMS 105 wired stage microphone, the KK 105 U bk delivers studio-grade transparency and emotional intimacy with the total freedom of your existing wireless infrastructure.
Product Description
Universal Freedom, Neumann Precision:
For decades, the prestigious Neumann capsule sound was exclusive to specific systems. The KK 105 U (Universal) changes the landscape. It is engineered to thread onto a wide variety of industry-standard transmitters, allowing engineers and artists to upgrade their existing wireless inventory to boutique studio quality without changing their entire wireless setup.
Surgical Supercardioid Isolation:
The KK 105 U bk is designed for high-volume environments. Its tight supercardioid polar pattern is remarkably frequency-independent, rejecting unwanted sound from the sides and rear with pinpoint accuracy. This results in much higher isolation from neighboring instruments and drum bleed compared to cardioid models, ensuring a direct, intimate vocal even on the most crowded stages.
Studio Quality Without Fragility:
While most stage capsules are dynamic, the KK 105 U bk utilizes a true condenser capsule. It refutes the myth that condensers are too delicate for the road, offering a rugged construction that handles massive Sound Pressure Levels (SPL) up to 150 dB without clipping. It provides a vastly superior transient response and a smooth frequency range with an "airy" top-end.
Optimized for Close-Miking:
Optimized for the "handheld" experience, a fixed internal low-cut filter compensates for the proximity effect. This ensures that the bass remains clear and natural, even if the singer's lips touch the grille. The hardened steel headgrille includes a multi-level pop filter that manages plosives and keeps moisture away from the capsule.
