About this listing
The "Series 180" is a good choice for all users who look for a high-quality miniature microphone, but do not need the complex, modular KM 100 system, which continues to be part of the Neumann product range.The mechanical construction was simplified, for example, capsule and output stage cannot be separated from each other. For this reason the "Series 180" is an economical alternative without giving up the electroacoustic features the users expect from Neumann microphones.Because of its optimized mechanical construction and conscious omission of modularity, which is unnecessary in many cases, the "Series 180" KM185 is predestined for economy-minded production and home recording studios. Applications The KM185's slender shape and the transmission characteristics described below make it especially suitable for a wide range of tasks in the radio and television sector. Includes KM 185 mt Microphone, Matte BlackWindscreenStand Mount Swivel Features Acoustic:The pressure gradient transducer KM185 features a very smooth frequency response not only for the 0° axis, but also for lateral (off-axis) sound incidence. In typical usage, there is no coloration of sound over a wide pickup angle.The KM185 with its hypercardioid characteristic features attenuation of sound incidence from the side or rear of about 10dB, with minimum sensitivity at an angle of 120 degrees.Electrical:The "Series 180" microphones have the same transformerless circuitry as is used in the KM 100 system, resulting in excellent technical specifications:The microphones operate without any problems, even if the input of following equipment happens to be unbalanced, for example as in some DAT recorders.The output of the "Series 180", as in all Neumann microphones, is balanced and phantom (48V) powered.
