Neumann KK 120 nx
The Neumann KK 120 nx is a side-address figure-8 condenser microphone capsule designed for use with Neumann’s KM A and KM D output stages. As part of Neumann’s modular microphone system, the KK 120 nx delivers precise bidirectional pickup characteristics, making it ideal for MS (Mid-Side) and Blumlein stereo recording techniques. With its exceptional linearity and natural tonal balance, it provides the clarity and transparency required for professional studio, broadcast, and orchestral recording.
The figure-8 polar pattern of the KK 120 nx captures sound equally from the front and rear while rejecting signals from the sides, allowing for accurate stereo imaging and spatial detail. Whether used for solo instruments, vocal ensembles, or ambient room capture, this capsule maintains Neumann’s legendary low self-noise and extended frequency response. When combined with the analog KM A or digital KM D output stages, it forms a compact, flexible system capable of delivering reference-grade sound quality in any professional setup.
