While many microphones add a sonic imprint of their own, the NEUMANN Series 180 (KM 183 omni, KM 184 cardioid, KM 185 hypercardioid) is made for a faithful reproduction of the original acoustic event, without adding or removing anything. It is available in nickel (KM 184) and matte black (KM 184 mt).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"border-collapse:collapse;margin:6px 0 18px;width:100%;max-width:100%;table-layout:fixed;\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #DDE2E8;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal;overflow-wrap:break-word;width:55%;color:#5a6170;font-size:13px;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.05em;\"\u003eSelf‑noise (A‑weighted)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #DDE2E8;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal;overflow-wrap:break-word;font-weight:bold;color:#006d77;font-size:17px;\"\u003e13 dB‑A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #DDE2E8;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal;overflow-wrap:break-word;width:55%;color:#5a6170;font-size:13px;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.05em;\"\u003eMaximum SPL for 0.5 % THD\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #DDE2E8;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal;overflow-wrap:break-word;font-weight:bold;color:#006d77;font-size:17px;\"\u003e138 dB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #DDE2E8;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal;overflow-wrap:break-word;width:55%;color:#5a6170;font-size:13px;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.05em;\"\u003eSensitivity at 1 kHz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #DDE2E8;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal;overflow-wrap:break-word;font-weight:bold;color:#006d77;font-size:17px;\"\u003e15 mV\/Pa\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #DDE2E8;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal;overflow-wrap:break-word;width:55%;color:#5a6170;font-size:13px;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.05em;\"\u003eDynamic range\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #DDE2E8;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal;overflow-wrap:break-word;font-weight:bold;color:#006d77;font-size:17px;\"\u003e125 dB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:17px;font-weight:700;color:#0D1B3E;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.06em;margin:30px 0 12px;padding:0 0 7px;border-bottom:2px solid #006D77;\"\u003eKey features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin:0 0 14px;padding-left:20px;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUniform cardioid pattern\u003c\/strong\u003e without off-axis colouration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLinear frequency response\u003c\/strong\u003e with a slight treble lift around 9 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVery low self-noise\u003c\/strong\u003e: 13 dB-A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003eUp to 138 dB SPL free from distortion; 125 dB dynamic range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTransformerless circuitry\u003c\/strong\u003e (fet 100 technique)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003eLow impedance output for cable runs of up to 300 m without transmission losses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003eCompact size (22 x 107 mm, approx. 80 g), visually unobtrusive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:17px;font-weight:700;color:#0D1B3E;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.06em;margin:30px 0 12px;padding:0 0 7px;border-bottom:2px solid #006D77;\"\u003eCardioid sound without colouration\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eIts cardioid pattern is frequency-independent; rejection of rearward sound (180°) is excellent, even at low frequencies.

It offers a wide dynamic range of 125 dB and is carefully designed to maintain the capsule's sonic integrity: self-noise of only 13 dB-A and sound pressure levels of up to 138 dB free from distortion. The low impedance output drives cable runs of up to 300 m (1000 ft) without transmission losses; the microphone runs on 48 V phantom power (P48, 3.2 mA).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:17px;font-weight:700;color:#0D1B3E;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.06em;margin:30px 0 12px;padding:0 0 7px;border-bottom:2px solid #006D77;\"\u003eApplications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eThe KM 184 is a universal microphone for studio and stage applications. Its transparent sound makes it a superb microphone for acoustic instruments such as piano, percussion, drums, acoustic guitar, upright bass, violin, cello, woodwinds and brass, for soloists as well as ensembles.
