Neumann Sound for All Wireless Systems
The KK 104 U is a premium quality capsule head for 3rd party handheld transmitters. Its precision manufactured condenser capsule offers transparent Neumann sound, combined with the freedom of wireless operation and all the virtues of a rugged stage microphone: excellent pop protection, enormous SPL capability, suppression of handling noise and high feedback resistance.
Studio Quality for Wireless Systems
The KK 104 U capsule head is based on Neumann's highly successful, award-winning KMS series of wired stage microphones. While most stage microphones use dynamic capsules, the KK 104 U is equipped with a true condenser capsule offering the superior clarity that made Neumann studio microphones famous all over the world. At the same time, the KK 104 U possesses the ruggedness required for stage use, thus refuting the myth that condenser microphones must be "fragile". The KK 104 U can stand enormous sound pressure levels without clipping, and its tight, frequency-independent cardioid/supercardioid pattern ensures high gain before feedback. The KK 104 U has a much smoother frequency response than dynamic microphones and an airy top-end.
Compared to dynamic microphones, the Neumann KK 104 U offers a vastly superior transient response, resulting in a more immediate, more emotional vocal sound. In practical terms: effortless intelligibility, without the usual EQ boosts - which further improves feedback resistance.
The KK 104 U is optimized for close miking; a fixed low cut filter compensates for the proximity effect and ensures clear bass, even if the singer's lips touch the microphone. The headgrille is made of hardened steel and features a highly effective internal pop screen which also keeps moisture away from the capsule, while controlling sibilance.
