Neumann KM 184

The KM 184 (cardioid) in particular has become the classic high-quality miniature microphone. Now also available in attractive stereo sets, with cardioid, hypercardioid or omni directional characteristics.

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.

• Three different miniature microphones for all typical studio applications

• Successor of the worldwide successful KM 83/84

• Transformerless circuitry

• Trouble-free operation also with unbalanced equipment (e.g., DAT recorders)

• Set includes windshield and two different microphone clamps
