Neumann KK 184
The Neumann KK 184 is a cardioid 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 184 delivers the same exceptional sonic performance as the legendary Neumann KM 184, offering pristine clarity, natural tonality, and precise directional control. Built for professional studio, broadcast, and orchestral applications, it combines Neumann’s renowned sound quality with modular flexibility for both analog and digital workflows.
Featuring a pressure gradient transducer design, the KK 184 provides a smooth cardioid polar pattern with excellent off-axis rejection and minimal coloration. Its flat frequency response and consistent tonal balance make it a trusted choice for acoustic instruments, orchestral ensembles, and room recording. When paired with a KM A (analog) or KM D (digital) output stage, the KK 184 becomes a compact, high-resolution microphone system that meets the demands of modern professional audio production.
