Neumann KM 183 MT
The Neumann KM 183 MT is a premium omnidirectional condenser microphone from Neumann’s acclaimed KM 180 series Known for its transparency, precision, and natural sound, the KM 183 MT is a favorite among recording engineers for classical, orchestral, and acoustic music production Featuring a diffuse-field equalized response, it captures sound with exceptional realism — making it ideal for room, overhead, and ensemble recordings where authentic spatial depth and tonal accuracy are essential
As a pressure transducer, the KM 183 MT delivers an even, frequency-independent omnidirectional pattern, ensuring a balanced tonal response across all directions Its low self-noise and wide dynamic range make it suitable for high-resolution recording environments, while the matte black finish offers a professional look for both studio and stage applications Built to Neumann’s exacting standards in Germany, the KM 183 MT provides the sonic precision and reliability demanded by world-class engineers and artists
