The Neumann KM 184 is a high-end, small-diaphragm condenser microphone and the modern industry standard for capturing acoustic instruments. Unlike tube or ribbon microphones, the KM 184 is a solid-state (FET) microphone powered by external 48V phantom power.
It features a cardioid polar pattern, offering very clean and focused rear rejection, ideal for isolating sound sources in the studio without off-axis coloration.
It also boasts a subtle presence boost, which provides spectacular clarity and detail, allowing instruments to cut through the mix naturally.
