Unveiling the Neumann KM 185-MT-STEREOSET: A Sonic Masterpiece
Embark on an auditory journey with the Neumann KM 185, a state-of-the-art small diaphragm condenser microphone. With its impeccable hypercardioid polar pattern and unparalleled sound quality, this microphone sets a new benchmark in audio recording and reproduction.

Precision and Clarity for Every Note
Designed to capture sound with exceptional precision, the KM 185 boasts a frequency-independent hypercardioid pattern. Whether you’re recording classical piano or heavy metal drums, this microphone delivers a natural, transparent sound with minimal self-noise and high SPL capability.

Faithful Sound Reproduction: The Neumann Series 180
In a world where many microphones color sound, the Neumann Series 180 stands apart. Comprising KM 183 (omni), KM 184 (cardioid), and KM 185 (hypercardioid), this series ensures faithful sound reproduction, making it a go-to choice for diverse applications without altering the original acoustic event.

Hypercardioid Perfection: Beyond the Ordinary
Despite its attractive price point, the KM 185 doesn’t compromise on quality. Its hypercardioid pattern is remarkably consistent across frequencies, ensuring excellent rearward sound rejection. With no sound coloration over a wide pickup angle, it’s ideal for multi-microphone setups and precise stereo/surround imaging.

Versatile Applications: From Studio to Stage
The KM 185 shines in both studio and stage applications. Its transparent sound profile makes it perfect for acoustic instruments, drums, and percussion. Its high rejection at 120° without off-axis coloration solves recording challenges like capturing a snare drum while minimizing spill from the hi-hat. While not specifically optimized for vocals, it’s frequently used for classical vocals and applications where sonic authenticity is key. Its compact size also makes it visually unobtrusive for TV and radio applications.
