Handheld condenser vocal microphone suited to live sound applications

Review: The Neumann KMS 104 is a handheld condenser microphone that has been designed for live vocal use. The KMS 104 is also ideal for use with in-ear sytems due to its low self-noise and crosstalk behaviour, which is free of colouration. With its cardioid response, the Neumann KMS 104 offers excellent rejection of all sounds originating from behind the microphone. This mic comes with a nickel finish.

Condenser microphone for live female vocalists

Review: The KMS104 plus microphones have been developed to optimally transmit the human voice with respect to the demanding conditions present on the live stage. The KMS series has become the internationally acknowledged standard for first-class stage microphones.

The high acoustic resolution and smooth frequency response of the microphones ensure that the musician has optimal control of the stage performance at all times. Especially due to its low self-noise and crosstalk behavior which is free of coloration, the KMS microphones are ideal for use with in-ear monitoring systems.

The KMS104 plus has a condenser microphone capsule with a cardioid directional characteristic which provides the best possible suppression of sounds originating from behind the microphone. The KMS104 plus features a more extended bass frequency response. In close cooperation with professional musicians, with the aid of extensive practical tests, the KMS104 plus has been especially optimized for the requirements of female voices in the rock and pop field.

The studio condenser capsules used in the microphone versions provide the basis for transmitting all the nuances of the human voice. In comparison with other handheld microphones, which operate mostly with dynamic capsules, the KMS series has a particularly high acoustic transparency, a wide frequency range and a fine resolution of transients.

In KMS microphones, carefully adjusted acoustic filters and transformerless impedance converters that can handle very high sound pressure levels prevent the microphones from being overloaded even by strong plosive sounds.

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 above-mentioned 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 KMS104 plus vocal microphone when it is used with a stage sound system.

In addition, the microphone has an invariable, built-in high-pass filter with a cutoff frequency of 120 Hz (-3 dB, measured in a free sound field). The dynamic range of the KMS microphones is 132 dB, and the maximum sound pressure level is 150 dB.

The low self-noise level of only 18 dB A-permits the microphones to be used at high gain levels without the risk of additional noise. Even at large distances, the microphones thus operate with a high signal-to-noise ratio, facilitating the freedom of movement and creativity that are important to the artist. Due to the transformerless output circuit, the microphone signals can be transmitted even through long cables without loss of sound.

The KMS104 plus has thick-walled metal housing, which also provides effective protection against handling noise. The microphone headgrille is made of hardened steel. If required, it can easily be unscrewed to permit cleaning of the interior acoustic filters.

The KMS104 plus microphone, with a matching stand clamp, is supplied in an attractive padded nylon bag that is sufficiently durable for touring.

Condenser microphone for live vocals

Review: The KMS105 microphone has been developed to optimally transmit the human voice with respect to the demanding conditions present on the live stage. The KMS series has become the internationally acknowledged standard for first-class stage microphones.

The high acoustic resolution and smooth frequency response of the microphones ensure that the musician has optimal control of the stage performance at all times. Especially due to their low self-noise and crosstalk behavior which is free of coloration, the KMS microphones are ideal for use with in-ear monitoring systems.

With its supercardioid characteristic the KMS105 is particularly good at suppressing sounds originating from the entire 180- hemisphere behind the microphone.

The filter thus ensures a very high level of feedback protection for the KMS105 vocal microphone when it is used with a stage sound system.

Since vocal microphones are typically addressed at close range, for the bass frequency response of the microphones, electronic compensation is used for the proximity effect in the respective capsules.

In addition, the microphone has an invariable, built-in high-pass filter with a cutoff frequency of 120 Hz (-3 dB, measured in a free sound field). The dynamic range of the KMS microphones is 132 dB, and the maximum sound pressure level is 150 dB.

Due to the transformerless output circuit, the microphone signals can be transmitted even through long cables without loss of sound.

Microphone designed for use on stage require a particularly robust construction. The KMS105 therefore has thick-walled metal housings, which also provides effective protection against handling noise.

The microphone headgrille is made of hardened steel. If required, it can easily be unscrewed to permit cleaning of the interior acoustic filters.

Cardioid microphone for recording vocals, acoustic instruments and percussion

Review: The Neumann TLM102 defines a new generation of Neumann studio microphone. This applies not only to the design of the microphone but also to the price.

The reduced overall size contributes to an exceptionally compact appearance, which unites all of the typical design components of a Neumann microphone. The harmonious proportions and gleaming grille ring ensure that even at first glance, the TLM102 attracts attention.

The TLM102 is impressive in terms of sound. In the interior is a newly developed large-diaphragm capsule (cardioid) with a maximum sound pressure level of 144 dB, which permits the recording of percussion, drums, amps and other very loud sound sources, for example. Instruments that are not especially loud also benefit from the very fast transient response of the TLM102. However its most important applications are in the realm of vocals and speech; a slight boost above 6 kHz provides for excellent presence of the voice in the overall mix. Up to 6 kHz the frequency response is extremely linear, ensuring minimal coloration and a clearly defined bass range. The capsule has an elastic suspension for the suppression of structure-borne noise. A pop screen integrated into the grille serves to suppress plosives in vocal and speech recording.

Due to its price and flexible field of application, the TLM102 is ideal for the home recording and project studio sector, as well as for the broadcasting area, especially when clear lines of sight to the speakers are a priority.
