Neumann KK 185

The Neumann KK 185 is a precision-engineered supercardioid condenser microphone capsule designed for use with Neumann’s KM A and KM D output stages. As part of Neumann’s acclaimed modular microphone system, the KK 185 delivers the same outstanding acoustic performance as the classic Neumann KM 185, combining focused directivity, natural tonal balance, and exceptional detail. Ideal for close-miking instruments, stereo setups, and broadcast use, it provides studio-grade sound in a compact and flexible modular format.

Based on a pressure gradient transducer design, the KK 185 features a supercardioid polar pattern for superior rejection of off-axis sound and excellent isolation in challenging acoustic environments. This makes it the perfect choice for situations requiring high channel separation or precise directional control. When paired with Neumann’s KM A (analog) or KM D (digital) output stages, the KK 185 offers a versatile, high-resolution microphone system tailored for professional studio, live, and broadcast applications.
