Description

The KM 185 is a state-of-the-art small diaphragm condenser microphone with a narrow, frequency-independent hypercardioid polar pattern. Its very natural and transparent sound with low self-noise and high SPL capacity have made the KM 185 a global standard on stage and in the studio for many applications ranging from classical piano to heavy metal drums. While many microphones these days are designed to add their own sonic fingerprint, many applications require a faithful reproduction of the original acoustic event, without adding or removing anything. This is where the Neumann 180 Series comes in.

Despite its attractive price, the KM 185 offers state-of-the-art Neumann engineering. Its hypercardioid pattern is independent of frequency; rearward sound rejection (120°) is excellent, even at low frequencies. In practice, there is no sound coloration over a wide shooting angle, which is crucial in multi-microphone setups and for accurate stereo/surround imaging. The frequency response of the KM 185 is very smooth and linear with a slight treble lift around 10kHz for added brilliance. Its innovative transformerless head amplifier offers a wide dynamic range of 127 dB and is carefully designed to maintain the sonic integrity of the capsule. The KM 185 has a very low self-noise of just 15 dB-A and can handle high sound pressure levels of up to 142 dB without distortion. Thanks to its low impedance output stage, the KM 185 can run long cables of up to 300 meters (1,000 feet) without transmission losses.

The KM 185 is a universal microphone for studio and stage applications. Its transparent sound makes the KM 185 a superb microphone for acoustic instruments, such as piano, acoustic guitar, double bass, violin, cello, wind instruments, drums and percussion. Its high rejection at 120° with no off-axis coloration makes the KM 185 a perfect solution to the problems of demanding applications, such as recording the snare drum while eliminating hi-hat spillage. Although the KM 185 is not specifically optimized for the human voice, it is often used for classical singing and where sonic authenticity is paramount. Due to its small size, the KM 185 is visually unobtrusive and well suited for TV and radio applications.
