Compared to dynamic microphones, the Neumann KK 104 U and KK 105 U offer a vastly superior transient response,
resulting in a more immediate, more emotional vocal sound. In practical terms: effortless intelligibility, without the usual
EQ boosts – which further improves feedback resistance.
The KK 104 U and KK 105 U are optimized for close miking; a fixed low cut filter compensates for the proximity effect and
ensures clear bass, even if the singer’s lips touch the microphone. The headgrille is made of hardened steel and features a
highly effective internal pop screen which also keeps moisture away from the capsule, while controlling sibilance.
Applications
Neumann capsule heads in combination with Sennheiser wireless systems have already proven their outstanding sound
quality and reliability on some of the largest stages of the world, including international TV events, such as the Eurovision
Song Contest. With the KK 104 U and KK 105 U, Neumann premium sound is finally available to users of 3rd party* wireless
systems, too.
Compared to the KK 105 U (supercardioid), the KK 104 U (cardioid) offers a slightly more open sound and is more forgiving
regarding positioning and head movements. It is thus the perfect capsule for expressive singers.
The KK 105 U offers
better separation and increased rejection of unwanted sound from neighboring instruments, resulting in a very direct and
intimate sound, even on crowded stages.
