Neumann KK 120
The Neumann KK 120 is a high-quality figure-8 condenser microphone capsule designed for use with the Neumann KM A and KM D modular amplifier systems. As part of Neumann’s modular microphone family, the KK 120 delivers precise, detailed, and transparent sound reproduction — ideal for stereo and mid-side recording techniques that require accurate side-channel capture.
With its pressure-gradient transducer design, the KK 120 provides a balanced frequency response across the entire spectrum and excellent rejection of off-axis sounds. This makes it an indispensable tool for classical, broadcast, and studio applications where clarity and accurate spatial imaging are essential.
