The Neumann KM 184 small diaphragm condenser microphone makes drum, instrument, and ensemble recording a breeze with its natural sound and near-perfect cardioid pattern. This modern update to the classic KM 84i offers a wide frequency response, high SPL handling, and self noise low enough to take on even the quietest applications. The SKM 184 matched pair is a great choice for all sorts of stereo instrument, room and ambience recording, from drum overheads to large orchestras and ensembles.
