help Neumann KMS 105 FAQ

Is the Neumann KMS 105 a dynamic or condenser microphone?

Although often grouped with broadcast microphones, the Neumann KMS 105 is actually a premium handheld condenser microphone. It is specifically designed for live vocal performances where studio-quality clarity is required. Its acoustic design allows it to handle high sound pressure levels without distortion.

How does the Neumann KMS 105 handle stage noise and feedback?

The microphone features a supercardioid polar pattern that provides exceptional off-axis rejection, actively minimizing feedback and stage bleed. Its sophisticated design ensures a consistent and professional sound even in challenging environments. This ensures background noise from drums and amplifiers is kept out of the vocal mix.

Does the KMS 105 suffer from a heavy proximity effect?

No, the Neumann KMS 105 is specifically engineered to minimize the proximity effect. This means vocalists can move closer to or further from the mic without experiencing a drastic, boomy boost in bass frequencies. This natural sound ensures the vocal tone remains exceptionally clear and consistent.

What kind of handling noise does the Neumann KMS 105 produce?

The KMS 105 incorporates an internal shock-mounted capsule that significantly minimizes handling noise. This sophisticated design is crucial for energetic singers who move around the stage with the microphone. It ensures that physical bumps and vibrations are not transmitted through the audio signal.
