Description
KM 184 cardioid microphone, which has become a standard within the global studio community
The pressure gradient transducer KM 184 feature a 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.
Although the KM 184 has the same capsule as the KM 84, the microphone differs slightly on the 0? frequency response: The KM 184 has a gentle rise at about 9 kHz, a characteristic that was introduced very successfully with the KM 140. The result is a tonal balance that is fresher and livelier when compared to the KM 84 with its flat frequency response in that band.
| 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 |
| Spot mic, overhead |
| Close miking of strings, wind instruments, percussion, piano, Leslie speakers, guitar amps |
This difference was achieved with just a slight change of the capsule?s rear opening, and is not due to resonances.
Stereo set includes two each: KM 184, SG 21 BK, WNS 100 in one woodbox
