KM 184 MT

Authentic, vibrant, transparent: The perfect high-resolution instrument microphone

• High-precision tool for instruments and voice
• Reference class small diaphragm microphone
• Also available in stereo sets

Experienced users often describe the sound of our small diaphragm microphone as „fresh“ and „vivid”. This is – among other factors – due to a slight treble lift around 9 kilohertz. The KM 184 is an experienced all-rounder, a mic for all seasons. It captures virtually any instrument with amazing complexity and depth of sound.

Another advantage: thanks to the extremely tight production tolerances, all KM 184 microphones produce a very consistent sound. Therefore, they can easily be used as a stereo pair with exact spatial imaging for all stereo recording methods.

FEATURES

• Versatile small membrane microphone primarily for instrumental recordings
