Description

The Neumann KM184 Cardioid Condenser Mic in Black is currently retailing at GBP 647 and it is in stock. Available to be delivered to you by post direct (some charge may apply).The team at Mic Pro think that Neumann nailed it with the Neumann KM184 Cardioid Condenser Mic in Black.

The “Series 180” consists of three compact miniature microphones with patterns that satisfy the demands of all common studio applications.

Because of its optimized mechanical construction and conscious omission of modularity, which is unnecessary in many cases, the “Series 180” is predestined for economy-minded production and home recording studios.

Applications
Their slender shapes and the transmission characteristics described below make the “Series 180” especially suitable for a very wide range of tasks in the radio and television sector.

Acoustic features
The KM 184 microphones are the successors of the well proven KM 83 and KM 84, which have been used since the seventies worldwide with great success.

Although the KM 184 has the same capsule as the KM 84, the microphone differs slightly on the 0° frequency response: The KM 184 has a gentle rise at about 9 kHz, a characteristic that was introduced very successfully with the KM 140. The result is a tonal balance that is fresher and livelier when compared to the KM 84 with its flat frequency response in that band. This difference was achieved with just a slight change of the capsule’s rear opening, and is not due to resonances.

Electrical features
The “Series 180” microphones have the same transformerless circuitry as is used in the KM 100 system, resulting in excellent technical specifications:

Compared to the KM 84 the dynamic range of the KM 184 increased by 24 dB mainly through the reduction of self-noise level to only 22 dB (CCIR) and an increased sound pressure handlingcapability of up to 138 dB.

The microphones operate without any problems, even if the input of following equipment happens to be unbalanced, for example as in some DAT recorders.

The output of the “Series 180”, as in all Neumann microphones, is balanced and phantom (48V) powered.

Economy
The “Series 180” is a good choice for all users who look for a high-quality miniature microphone, but do not need the complex, modular KM 100 system, which continues to be part of the Neumann product range.

The mechanical construction was simplified, for example, capsule and output stage cannot be separated from each other. For this reason the “Series 180” is an economical alternative without giving up the electroacoustic features the users expect from Neumann microphones.

Cardioid

A cardioid microphone is a type of microphone that has a directional pickup pattern, meaning it primarily captures sound from the front while rejecting noise from the sides and rear. The term “cardioid” refers to the heart-shaped pattern of sensitivity, which is most sensitive directly in front of the microphone and progressively less sensitive as the sound source moves to the sides or behind it. This makes cardioid microphones ideal for isolating a sound source, such as vocals or instruments, from unwanted ambient noise, making them particularly useful for live performances, studio recording, and broadcasting.

Condenser

Condenser Microphones are highly sensitive microphones that capture sound with exceptional detail and clarity, making them ideal for studio recording of vocals, acoustic instruments, and other nuanced sources. They work by using a lightweight diaphragm and require phantom power to operate. Known for their wide frequency response and accuracy, condenser mics are a go-to choice for professional audio engineers and producers.

Mic

A mic is a common abbreviation for microphone, a device that converts sound waves into electrical signals for recording or amplification. Mics come in various types and designs—such as dynamic, condenser, ribbon, and lavalier—each suited to different applications, from live performances and studio recording to broadcasting and filmmaking. Choosing the right mic is essential for capturing clear, high-quality sound tailored to the specific environment and source.

RECORDING EQUIPMENT

Recording Equipment encompasses the essential tools used to capture, process, and produce audio in both professional and home studios. This includes microphones, audio interfaces, mixers, preamps, monitors, and recording software, all working together to achieve high-quality sound. Whether for music, podcasts, voiceovers, or film, recording equipment is key to transforming performances into polished, professional audio.

Studio Microphones

Studio Microphones are designed for professional recording environments, delivering high-fidelity sound capture with exceptional detail and clarity. They are used for vocals, instruments, voiceovers, podcasts, and more, offering a wide range of pickup patterns and sensitivities to suit different recording needs. Studio mics often prioritise low noise, wide frequency response, and natural sound reproduction, making them a key tool in any recording setup.
