Neumann KM 184 MT Octo Set
The Neumann KM 184 MT Octo Set is a premium matched set of eight KM 184 MT microphones — Neumann’s industry-standard small-diaphragm cardioid condensers. Designed for the highest level of precision and consistency, this professional set is ideal for multi-microphone setups such as orchestral recording, surround and immersive audio, ensemble capture, or complex studio configurations. Each microphone delivers Neumann’s renowned clarity, natural tonality, and exceptional transient response in a compact, robust form factor.
The KM 184 MT features a pressure gradient transducer with a cardioid polar pattern, offering smooth off-axis response and excellent rear rejection. Its transformerless circuitry ensures distortion-free signal transmission, while low self-noise and high SPL handling make it suitable for both delicate and powerful sound sources. The matte black finish provides a sleek, low-reflective appearance that blends seamlessly into professional studio or stage environments.
