Neumann KK 131
The Neumann KK 131 is a precision-engineered omnidirectional 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 131 delivers a neutral, open, and transparent sound — ideal for capturing the full acoustic detail of instruments, ensembles, and natural ambiences. Handcrafted in Germany, it combines Neumann’s legendary engineering with the flexibility required for both analog and digital recording workflows.
Featuring a pressure transducer design, the KK 131 provides a true omnidirectional polar pattern with a smooth frequency response and minimal off-axis coloration. It reproduces sound with outstanding realism and spatial accuracy, making it perfect for classical recordings, orchestral applications, and room miking. When paired with the KM A (analog) or KM D (digital) output stage, the KK 131 offers reference-grade performance and seamless integration into modern studio and broadcast environments.
