Vocal Mics

When compared to other handheld vocal microphones, the KMS 105 offers a superior resolution of the voice, with extended frequency response and accurate transient detail. Sibilance problems common to other handheld condenser mics are eliminated. No foam is used in the basket, thus eliminating any clouding or muffling of the sound. Also, by using a DC-polarized studio condenser capsule, all the nuances of the voice come through with subtlety, power and focus.The K 105 capsule was developed from the K 50, found in the KMS 150, KM 150 and KM 185 microphones. The K 105 features a supercardioid pattern, achieved by specially modifying the response of the K 50 pressure gradient transducer. The frequency response characteristic is developed in the acoustic realm, allowing for accurate representation of transient details found in music and speech, and thus transmitting a very open and detailed capture of the human voice. Due to the tight supercardioid polar pattern and the coloration-free off axis response, a very high level of gain before feedback is achieved. This polar pattern offers the highest degree of isolation while still allowing for a generous sweet spot in front of the microphone. The dynamic range of the KMS 105 is 132 dB, allowing reproduction of the artists full expression, without restraint. The maximum SPL is 150 dB and with a low self noise of 18 dB-A, a greater gain can be used without risk of adding noise to the mix. This way, the artist is able to use the microphone at a greater distance therefore maintaining a wide range of creative freedom during the performance. Because of the superior resolution and linear high frequency response, it is very easy for the artist using in-ear monitors to identify whether or not he or she is on mic with the KMS 105. And by employing a transformerless output circuit, this microphone can incorporate long cable runs with no loss of signal quality or high-frequency response. Most of the available vocalist microphones rely on the attenuating effects of foam layers inside the basket. Although this is certainly a cost-effective procedure, the detrimental effects of this foam layer can be shown quite easily. Treble frequencies are attenuated, and furthermore the polar pattern can be deformed. These drawbacks can be eliminated by selecting open mesh constructions. With careful dimensioning and selection of different mesh sizes, excellent pop and wind attenuation can be delivered. In the KMS 105 a combination of four wire meshes with different mesh sizes is used. The chosen combination yields a very constant polar pattern, while maintaining the capsules acoustic frontal frequency response. Naturally, the outer microphone basket is hardened steel, due to the required ruggedness for on-stage use.Features:Neumann sound on stageExcellent transparency for vocals/ speech and as an AnnouncerΆs mic for broadcasting/dubbingHigh SPL capability at 150 dB and a low self noise of 18 dB-AWithout off-axis colorationTransformerless outputEspecially suited for in-ear-monitoringSupercardioid polar pattern with excellent feedback rejectionEffective pop shielding without any side effectsSet includes SG 105 Stand clamp and Padded nylon bagSpecifications:Acoustical operating principle: Pressure gradient transducerDirectional pattern: supercardioidFrequency range: 20 Hz - 20 kHzSensitivity at 1 kHz into 1 kohm: 4.5 mV/PaRated impedance: 50 ohmsRated load impedance: 1000 ohmsEquivalent SPL CCIR 468-3: 28 dBEquivalent SPL DIN/IEC 651: 18 dB-AS/N ratio CCIR 468-3: 66 dBS/N ratio DIN/IEC 651: 76 dBMaximum SPL for THD 0.5%: 150 dBMaximum output voltage: 12 dBuDyn. range of the mic. amplifier DIN/IEC 651: 132 dBSupply voltage: 48 V ± 4 VCurrent consumption: 3.5 mAMatching connector: XLR 3FWeight: approx. 300 gDiameter: 48 mmLength: 180 mm
