Neumann KM 184 Stereo Set - Professional Small Diaphragm Cardioid Microphones (Nickel Finish)

The Neumann KM 184 Stereo Set consists of two matched small-diaphragm condenser microphones designed for exceptional sound fidelity and precise stereo imaging. Featuring a frequency-independent cardioid polar pattern, the KM 184 microphones deliver transparent, natural audio reproduction with consistent off-axis rejection, ideal for capturing acoustic instruments, vocals, and ambient sound.

With an ultra-low self-noise level of just 13 dB-A and a high maximum sound pressure level capability of 138 dB, these microphones excel in demanding recording environments without distortion. The transformerless FET circuitry provides a wide dynamic range and minimal coloration. Finished in durable nickel, the compact and lightweight design allows for unobtrusive microphone placement.

This stereo set includes two KM 184 microphones in nickel finish, two SG 21/17 stand swivel mounts, two WNS 100 windscreens, and a robust wooden jeweler’s case for safe storage and transport, providing a complete professional-grade package for stereo or surround sound recording.
