Neumann KK 104 S, Neumann KMS 104 cardioid capsule (Black & Nickel)
The nickel Neumann KK 104-S is the cardioid capsule of the famed Neumann KMS104 vocal microphone. The capsule is developed for use with the Sennheiser SKM5000 wireless handheld transmitters, delivering the pristine sound quality of the KMS104 to the Sennheiser Evolution series wireless system. The Neumann KK 104-S capsule accurately produces vocals with excellent transparency and range. The cardioid polar pattern suppresses noise at the off-axis sections of the capsule, providing a higher signal-to-noise ratio. The capsules are available in 2 colors; this version features a nickel finish.
Developed for Sennheiser SKM5000
- The Neumann KK 104 is the capsule on the KSM104 vocal microphone. The capsule is designed for the Sennheiser SKM5000 handheld transmitter.
Cardioid Polar Pattern
- The cardioid polar pattern effectively minimizes noise and ambiance at the off-axis sections of the microphone.
Wide Frequency Response
- The wide frequency response and sound characteristics result in transparent reproduction of vocals.
Neumann KK 104 S-BK
The color black Neumann KK 104 S-BK Capsule Head combines with the Sennheiser SKM 5200 / SKM 5000 N Wireless Systems to take sound into the wireless domain, thus opening up new dimensions for sophisticated live-performance engineering. In terms of engineering, the KK 104S is a wireless variant of the KMS 105, 140, and 150 families of wired vocalist microphones. It inherits not only their impressive tonal characteristics and specifications but also their sturdiness and efficiency in suppressing popping and handling noise. The Sennheiser SKM 5200 and SKM 5000 N handheld transmitter are advanced versions of the SKM 5000, optimized for the capsule head, and ensuring reliable, interference-free, the high-quality transmission of the capsule signal to the corresponding Sennheiser receiver. The capsule is available in a black-colored nickel finish to coordinate with the handheld transmitter. It also comes in a spacious, roadworthy nylon pouch, big enough to hold not only the capsule, but the transmitter (sold separately), battery packs (sold separately), and additional accessories (sold separately) as well. This Neumann KK 104 S-BK is a heavy-duty capsule that features integrated foam pop-screen instead of wire mesh for even better plosive attenuation. In addition, the foam material provides a very large surface area and can therefore absorb moisture very well.
