Neumann KK 104 U Cardioid Condenser Microphone Capsule Head for Sony, Lectrosonics, MiPRO ACT and Shure

Experience the iconic Neumann sound with the Neumann KK 104/105 U Cardioid/Supercardioid Condenser Microphone Capsule Head for Sony, Lectrosonics, MiPRO ACT and Shure. These capsules feature precision-manufactured condenser capsules that offer transparent sound, coupled with the freedom of wireless operation and the ruggedness of a stage microphone. With excellent pop protection, enormous SPL capability, suppression of handling noise, and high feedback resistance, these capsule heads are perfect for your needs.

Studio Quality for Wireless Systems
The KK 104 U and KK 105 U capsule heads are based on the award-winning KMS series of wired stage microphones. Unlike most stage microphones that use dynamic capsules, these capsule heads are equipped with true condenser capsules that deliver the superior clarity that made Neumann studio microphones famous all over the world. Moreover, the KK 104 U and KK 105 U are rugged enough for stage use while still maintaining the condenser microphone's superior attributes. These capsule heads can handle enormous sound pressure levels without clipping, and their tight, frequency-independent cardioid/supercardioid pattern ensures high gain before feedback. The capsule heads have a smooth frequency response and an airy top-end that dynamic microphones lack.

Compared to dynamic microphones, the Neumann KK 104 U and KK 105 U offer a vastly superior transient response, resulting in a more immediate and emotional vocal sound. This allows for effortless intelligibility without the usual EQ boosts, which further improves feedback resistance.

The KK 104 U and KK 105 U are optimized for close miking, and the fixed low cut filter compensates for the proximity effect, ensuring clear bass, even when the singer's lips touch the microphone. The hardened steel headgrille features a highly effective internal pop screen that keeps moisture away from the capsule while controlling sibilance.

Applications
Neumann capsule heads in combination with Sennheiser wireless systems have already proven their outstanding sound quality and reliability on some of the largest stages around the world. With the KK 104 U and KK 105 U, Neumann premium sound is finally available to users of 3rd party wireless systems, such as Sony and Lectrosonics (all models), Mipro ACT, and Shure (all models except BLX and GLX-D).

Compared to the KK 105 U (supercardioid), the KK 104 U (cardioid) offers a slightly more open sound and is more forgiving regarding positioning and head movements. It is thus the perfect capsule for expressive singers. The KK 105 U offers better separation and increased rejection of unwanted sound from neighboring instruments, resulting in a very direct and intimate sound, even on crowded stages.
