Neumann KK 185 nx

The Neumann KK 185 nx is a next-generation supercardioid condenser microphone capsule designed for use with Neumann’s KM A and KM D output stages As part of Neumann’s advanced “nx” capsule series, it represents the evolution of the renowned KK 185, featuring enhanced linearity, improved transient response, and even greater tonal precision The KK 185 nx delivers a focused, detailed sound with excellent off-axis rejection, making it ideal for close-miking instruments, spot-miking, and professional studio or broadcast recording

Using a pressure gradient transducer design, the KK 185 nx provides a tight supercardioid polar pattern that offers superior isolation and control of unwanted ambient sound This ensures clarity and separation in complex acoustic environments, while maintaining a natural, transparent tone When paired with the KM A (analog) or KM D (digital) output stages, the KK 185 nx forms a modular, high-performance system that meets the most demanding requirements of modern production
