Neumann KM 183 Stereo Set – Matched Pair – Made in Germany – Original Wooden Case

A beautiful, genuine German-made Neumann KM 183 stereo pair in the original factory wooden presentation case.

This is the Neumann KM 183 Stereo Set (Cat. No. 008522), comprising two nickel-finish KM 183 omnidirectional small-diaphragm condenser microphones, complete with the original SG 21 swivel mounts, windscreens and the original Neumann wooden presentation case.

And yes — these are the real German-made Neumanns. The original case is clearly labelled “Made in Germany”, which is visible in the photographs.

The KM 183 is one of Neumann’s classic miniature condenser microphones, renowned for its exceptionally natural, open and transparent sound. Its omnidirectional pattern and very flat response make it particularly useful for stereo recording, acoustic instruments, piano, percussion, drums, strings, brass, woodwind, choirs and room/ambient recording.
