Neumann KMS 104 black
The Neumann KMS 104 microphones have been developed to permit optimal transmission of the human voice, and are thus microphones of choice for demanding live applications. The Neumann KMS 104 has a microphone capsule with a cardioid directional characteristic which provides the best possible suppression of sounds originating from behind the microphone. In spite of excellent pop protection, sibilants and "S" sounds are transmitted with their natural accentuation, as is possible only with condenser microphones. Furthermore, the acoustic filters are designed so that the distinctive directional characteristics of the capsules are preserved even in the bass range. The filters thus ensure a very high level of feedback protection for the Neumann KMS 104 vocalist microphones when they are used with a stage sound system.
