Neumann KK 104 S Cardioid Condenser Microphone Capsule for Sennheiser SKM 5200 and 5000

Unleash superior audio on stage with the Neumann KK 104 S Cardioid Condenser Microphone Capsule, designed specifically for the Sennheiser SKM 5200 and 5000 wireless systems. This innovative piece merges the legendary Neumann studio microphone technology with Sennheiser's expertise in live performance engineering, ensuring that you experience unparalleled clarity and precision. Unlike traditional stage microphones that use dynamic capsules, the KK 104 S boasts a true condenser capsule, delivering exceptional detail and crispness synonymous with Neumann's renowned studio microphones.

Built to handle the pressure of live performances, the robust KK 104 S can withstand incredibly high sound pressure levels without distortion. This makes it perfect for energetic and dynamic performances. The tight cardioid pickup pattern focuses directly on the sound source, minimizing unwanted background noise and ensuring high gain before feedback becomes an issue. The result is a clearer and more engaging vocal sound that cuts through the mix effortlessly. Additionally, the built-in low-cut filter compensates for proximity effects, ensuring smooth, even bass response even during close miking.

Featuring a hardened steel head grille and an effective internal pop screen, the KK 104 S is designed to last. It combats plosives and keeps moisture away from the capsule, without introducing unwanted sibilance. Trusted by professionals, Neumann capsule heads paired with Sennheiser wireless systems are a proven choice on the world's biggest stages, including major televised events. Available in Nickel and Black, this microphone capsule is ideal for vocals and speech on stage, live performances in feedback-prone environments, and use with in-ear or conventional monitoring systems.
