The Neumann KM86 is a compact condenser microphone featuring a dual-capsule head assembly. It offers three selectable polar patterns—omni, cardioid, and figure-8—via a switch located just below the capsule assembly.

In cardioid mode, the KM86 mirrors the exceptional performance of the KM84 microphone. In figure-8 mode, it provides accurate low-frequency response even for distant sound sources, surpassing the limitations of conventional dual-membrane designs. This makes it particularly suitable for situations where the microphone cannot be positioned closer than three feet to the source.

Specifications:

- Directional Patterns: Omni, cardioid, figure-8

- Frequency Response: 40 Hz to 20,000 Hz

The KM86 excels in both studio and live environments, delivering natural sound reproduction with versatility and precision.
