Neumann KK 104 A BK

Neumann's electrostatic microphone capsules for wireless systems set the standard for studio-quality sound on stage, while offering the freedom and flexibility of wireless operation.

Overview

Building on the success of the renowned KK 204 and KK 205 microphone capsules, the KK 104 A and KK 105 A for Sennheiser wireless systems combine Neumann’s iconic electret technology with a redesigned look, improved handling noise reduction, and compatibility with the latest Sennheiser wireless platforms.

Studio-quality sound for wireless systems at your fingertips

The KK 104 A and KK 105 A are high-end electret condenser microphone heads that use the same capsule technology as the wired stage microphones in Neumann’s renowned KMS series. Compared to conventional dynamic microphones, these electret capsules offer transparency, detail, and transient response that establish Neumann microphones as the global benchmark for professional studios.

Successful innovations for optimal performance

The new A-Series microphone heads feature an elegant design and a significant reduction in handling noise, while retaining the ruggedness required for demanding live applications. They offer:

• Neumann’s signature transparent electrostatic sound
• Excellent protection against plosive sounds
• High resistance to handling noise
• Exceptional SPL handling
• Remarkable resistance to feedback
• Robust construction for professional live performance use

By optimizing close-up sound pickup, the KK 104 A and KK 105 A feature a fixed low-cut filter that compensates for the proximity effect, delivering clear and controlled bass even at very close range.

Adaptability and versatility on stage

Neumann microphone capsules demonstrate their exceptional sound quality and reliability on the world’s biggest stages, including major international television productions such as the Eurovision Song Contest.

The KK 104 A features a narrow cardioid polar pattern that offers high resistance to feedback, making it ideal for singers with dynamic vocal expression, while the KK 105 A uses a supercardioid polar pattern for better rejection of unwanted sounds and increased separation from neighboring instruments, ensuring a direct and intimate vocal sound, particularly well-suited for crowded stages.

An ideal solution for vocal performances

Both models are perfectly suited for vocals and speech in feedback-prone environments and work just as effectively with in-ear monitoring systems as with conventional monitor systems.
