Neumann KMS 105 Condenser Microphone Instruction Manual

1. Úvod

The Neumann KMS 105 is a high-quality handheld condenser microphone designed for optimal vocal transmission in live stage environments. It offers high acoustic resolution and a smooth frequency response, providing musicians with precise control over their stage performance. Its design minimizes coloration, self-noise, and crosstalk, making it suitable for use with in-ear monitoring systems. The supercardioid polar pattern effectively suppresses sounds from the sides, focusing on the primary sound source. The studio condenser capsule captures vocal nuances with exceptional transparency, wide frequency range, and remarkable resolution, distinguishing it from typical dynamic handheld microphones.
