Neumann KM 184: the perfect choice for faithful recordings

The Neumann KM 184 is a world reference small-diaphragm condenser microphone designed to deliver natural, transparent sound reproduction free of unwanted coloration. The Octo Set includes 8 carefully matched microphones, perfect for orchestral productions and high-precision multichannel microphone recording.

High-precision cardioid microphones for professional applications

The cardioid capsule provides a smooth, frequency-independent response, ensuring optimal rear sound rejection even in the low frequencies. This makes the KM 184 excellent for stereo or surround setups where maintaining spatial integrity of sound is critical. The slight emphasis around 9 kHz gives brilliance without being intrusive.

Neumann Series 180: versatility and quality at a competitive price

Neumann Series 180, which includes KM 183, KM 184, and KM 185, is designed for professional applications requiring compact, high-performance microphones. Unlike the KM A and KM D modular series, the 180 series models offer a more affordable design while maintaining very high standards.

Ideal for acoustic instruments and environmental filming

Because of its transparency, the KM 184 is perfect for acoustic instruments such as piano, percussion, guitar, strings, woodwinds and brass. It can be used for both soloists and ensembles, offering a sound rendering that is extremely faithful to the original event. Its small size also makes it ideal for broadcast and television applications.
