KK104S Neumann Condenser Cardioid Microphone Capsule - Black

The KK 104 S is a premium quality capsule head for Sennheiser SKM 5000/5200 handheld transmitters. Its precision manufactured condenser capsule offers true Neumann sound, combined with the freedom of wireless operation and all the virtues of a rugged stage microphone: excellent pop protection, enormous SPL capability, and high feedback resistance.

The KK 104 S capsule head brings studio sound quality to the stage for the most demanding live applications. The KK 104 S combines Neumann’s famous sense of perfection with Sennheiser’s long standing expertise in live performance engineering.

The KK 104 S capsule head is based on Neumann’s highly successful, award-winning KMS series of wired stage microphones. While most stage microphones use dynamic capsules, the KK 104 S is equipped with a true condenser capsule offering the superior clarity that made Neumann studio microphones famous all over the world. At the same time, the KK 104 S possesses the ruggedness required for stage use, thus refuting the myth that condenser microphones must be “fragile”. The KK 104 S can stand enormous sound pressure levels of up to 148 dB without clipping, and its tight, frequency-independent cardioid pattern ensures high gain before feedback. The KK 104 S has a much smoother frequency response than dynamic microphones and an airy top-end. Compared to dynamic microphones, the Neumann KK 104 S has a vastly superior transient response resulting in a more immediate, more emotional vocal sound. In practical terms: effortless intelligibility, without the usual EQ boosts – which further improves feedback resistance.

The KK 104 S is optimized for close miking; a fixed low cut filter compensates for the proximity effect and ensures clear bass, even if the singer’s lips touch the microphone. The headgrille is made of hardened steel and features a highly effective internal pop screen which also keeps moisture away from the capsule. Thanks to careful Neumann engineering, these acoustic filters do not cause any sibilance problems.
