Studio Quality Sound for Live Performance

Unlike conventional dynamic microphones, the Neumann KMS 105 uses a high-end condenser capsule — the same type found in legendary studio microphones by Neumann. The result is unmatched sonic clarity, pristine transient response, and a natural vocal tone that doesn’t require EQ boosts. Its consistent supercardioid pattern minimizes background noise and feedback risk. The built-in low-cut filter neutralizes proximity effect, ensuring clean low end even during close mic use.

Use Cases

While primarily designed for vocal performance, the KMS 105’s wide dynamic range and high SPL handling make it an excellent choice for acoustic instruments, drums, brass, and guitar amps. It also performs exceptionally well in broadcast setups and home studios, delivering dry, focused sound with minimal room reflection.
