Neumann KK 131 nx
The Neumann KK 131 nx is a high-precision omnidirectional condenser microphone capsule designed for use with Neumann’s KM A and KM D output stages. As part of Neumann’s next-generation modular microphone system, the KK 131 nx offers an exceptionally linear frequency response, natural tonality, and precise spatial imaging — making it ideal for classical recordings, orchestral applications, and high-end studio productions. Built with Neumann’s unmatched attention to detail, it delivers reference-grade transparency and realism for the most demanding recording environments.
Employing a pressure transducer design, the KK 131 nx captures sound equally from all directions, maintaining phase coherence and minimal coloration even off-axis. The result is a beautifully open and natural sound field that accurately reproduces the acoustic space. Whether used for close-miking acoustic instruments or as a room and ambient microphone, the KK 131 nx ensures outstanding fidelity and consistency when paired with KM A (analog) or KM D (digital) output stages.
