The KM184 cardioid condenser mic is a great choice for overall studio use, especially for recording situations when it is necessary to attenuate off-axis sound (mainly from the rear) from other nearby instruments. Use it as stereo pairs, as overheads, as an announcer's mic for broadcasting, for spot miking, and for close miking of strings, wind instruments, percussion, piano, guitar amps, and much more.
The pressure gradient transducer features very smooth frequency responses not only for the 0° axis, but also for lateral (off-axis) sound incidence. In typical usage, there is no coloration of sound over a wide pickup angle. In the 0° frequency response the KM 184 has a gentle rise at about 9 kHz for a fresh lively tonal balance.
The KM184 comes with a windshield and a stand mount swivel.
Applications:• For universal use, especially for recording situations when it is necessary to attenuate off-axis sound (mainly from the rear) from other nearby instruments.
• As XY and ORTF stereo pair
• Announcer’s mic for broadcasting
