Neumann KMS 105
The KMS 105 is a microphone offered by the Neumann brand.
A new Neumann microphone is always an event. The KMS 105, available in black or nickel, is a microphone intended for singing on stage and for voice in general. Equipped with a supercardioid electrostatic capsule, devoid of any coloration outside the axis, the KMS 105 has a very low self-noise.
Its great dynamic range (132 dB, max SPL 150 dB) allows to reproduce all the nuances. Behind the robust protective grille, a 4-layer anti-plosive system eliminates any unwanted air noise.
The KMS 105 is also equipped with an exclusive device to eliminate handling noise. Its extended response and perfect linearity guarantee a natural reproduction of all types of voices. Its price is also quite reasonable considering its quality.
