Its precision manufactured condenser capsule offers true Neumann sound quality, combined with all the virtues of a rugged stage microphone: excellent pop protection, low handling noise, enormous SPL capability, and high feedback resistance, thanks to its tight supercardioid pattern. The KMS 105 brings studio sound quality to the stage.
What are the dimensions of the kms105?
The KMS105 is supplied in an attractive turquoise padded pouch made of hard‑wearing nylon, affording excellent protection to the enclosed microphone and stand adaptor. The complete package measures roughly 70 x 190mm, but the microphone within is a slim 48 x 180mm and weighs a comfortable 350g.
What is the difference between the KMS 104 and KMS 105?
The KMS 104 has a cardioid pattern which perfectly attenuates sound from the rear and has a more prominent bass range that is especially optimized for female Rock and Pop voices. The supercardioid pattern of the KMS 105 attenuates sound from the sides and the rear, which makes it optimally suited for loud stage environments.
What is the output impedance of the KMS 105?
Because of its low output impedance of only 50 ohms, the KMS 105 can drive very long cable runs of up to 300 m (1000 ft) without transmission losses. The KMS 105 is primarily designed as a handheld vocal microphone but can be used for other stage applications as well, due to its high SPL capability and wide dynamic range.
What makes the KMS 105 so special?
With its supercardioid characteristic the KMS 105 is particularly good at suppressing sounds originating from the sides of the microphone. The studio condenser capsule used in the KMS 105 provides the basis for transmitting all the nuances of the human voice.
Is the kms105 a good microphone?
The KMS105 is a delightful microphone, both to use and to listen to. It is a comfortable size and shape for both large and small hands, and is relatively immune to handling noises. The polar response is extremely tight and well‑defined, providing superb resistance to feedback from monitors and front‑of‑house PA.
