Neumann KM 184 MT Stereo Set Small Diaphragm Cardioid Condenser Microphones - Black

Neumann KM 184 mt Stereo Set Cardioid Small-Diaphragm Condenser Microphones (Matte Black)

The Neumann KM 184 mt Stereo Set is a professional matched pair of small-diaphragm condenser microphones designed for accurate stereo recording in studio, live performance, broadcast, and classical music applications. Featuring two KM 184 mt microphones with a discreet matte black finish, this stereo set delivers the exceptional transparency, low self-noise, fast transient response, and reliable performance expected from Neumann professional recording equipment.

Based on Neumann's renowned Series 180 microphone technology, the KM 184 mt provides a natural and uncolored sound character with a consistent cardioid polar pattern. The matched stereo configuration ensures precise imaging, balanced tonal response, and excellent spatial accuracy for recording acoustic instruments, ensembles, orchestras, percussion, and professional broadcast productions.

Matched Pair for Professional Stereo Recording

The Neumann KM 184 mt Stereo Set includes two carefully matched KM 184 mt cardioid condenser microphones, allowing engineers and musicians to capture realistic stereo recordings with excellent phase consistency and accurate positioning of sound sources.

The matched pair is ideal for professional stereo techniques where detailed imaging, natural ambience, and faithful reproduction of the original performance are required.

Transparent and Natural Sound Reproduction

The KM 184 mt is designed to capture sound exactly as it occurs, without adding unwanted coloration. Its smooth and linear frequency response provides a detailed, open, and natural sound character suitable for critical recording applications.

A subtle high-frequency presence enhancement adds clarity and definition while maintaining the original tonal character of the recorded source. The microphone's excellent transient response allows accurate reproduction of instrument attacks, dynamics, and subtle performance details.

Frequency-Independent Cardioid Polar Pattern

Each KM 184 mt microphone features a precise cardioid polar pattern that remains consistent across the frequency spectrum. This provides excellent rejection of unwanted rear sound while maintaining natural off-axis response, making it suitable for complex multi-microphone setups and stereo recording techniques.

• Uniform cardioid directional pattern.
• Excellent rear sound rejection.
• Minimal off-axis coloration.
• Accurate stereo and surround imaging.
• Reliable performance in studio and live environments.

Advanced Transformerless Electronics

The KM 184 mt incorporates Neumann's transformerless circuitry, providing a clean and transparent signal path with excellent dynamic performance and low distortion. The low-impedance output design allows reliable operation over long cable runs while maintaining signal quality.

• Transformerless output stage.
• Wide dynamic range.
• Low distortion performance.
• Balanced professional XLR output.
• Reliable operation with professional audio systems.

Low Noise and High SPL Performance

With an equivalent noise level of 13 dB-A and maximum SPL capability of 138 dB, the KM 184 mt delivers detailed recordings across a wide range of applications. It captures subtle acoustic details while maintaining clean performance on louder sources such as drums and amplified instruments.

The combination of high sensitivity, low noise, and excellent transient accuracy makes the KM 184 mt Stereo Set suitable for demanding professional recording environments.
