Neumann KM 183 A nx
The Neumann KM 183 A nx is a premium omnidirectional condenser microphone that represents the next generation of Neumann’s legendary KM 100 series. Designed as part of the modular KM A system, the KM 183 A nx combines the KK 183 nx capsule with the KM A analog output stage, delivering outstanding sonic transparency, accuracy, and ultra-low noise performance. It is ideal for classical music, acoustic instruments, and room or ambient recordings where absolute precision and realism are required.
Featuring a true pressure transducer design, the KM 183 A nx captures sound with perfect tonal balance and phase accuracy across the entire frequency spectrum. Its diffuse-field equalized response ensures natural, open sound in both close and distant miking setups, making it a preferred choice for orchestral and ensemble recordings. Built to the highest standards in Germany, the KM 183 A nx delivers reference-grade performance with the reliability professionals expect from Neumann.
