Neumann KK 104 U BK Cardioid Condenser Capsule Head for Wireless Systems with 3rd Party Interface - 008721

Iconic Neumann Sound for All Wireless Systems
The KK 104 U and KK 105 U are premium-quality capsule heads for 3rd party* handheld transmitters. Their precision-manufactured condenser capsules offer transparent Neumann sound, the freedom of wireless operation and all the virtues of a rugged stage microphone: excellent pop protection, enormous SPL capability, suppression of handling noise and high feedback resistance.

Studio Quality for Wireless Systems
The KK 104 U and KK 105 U capsule heads are based on Neumann’s highly successful, award-winning KMS series of wired stage microphones. While most stage microphones use dynamic capsules, the KK 104 U and KK 105 U are equipped with a true condenser capsule offering the superior clarity that made Neumann studio microphones famous all over the world. At the same time, the KK 104 U and KK 105 U possess the ruggedness required for stage use, thus refuting the myth that condenser microphones must be “fragile”. The KK 104 U and KK 105 U can stand enormous sound pressure levels without clipping, and their tight, frequency-independent cardioid/supercardioid pattern ensures high gain before feedback. The KK 104 U and KK 105 U have a much smoother frequency response than dynamic microphones and an airy top-end.

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 head grille is made of hardened steel and features a highly effective internal pop screen that keeps moisture away from the capsule while controlling sibilance.

Applications
Neumann capsule heads combined with Sennheiser wireless systems have already proven their outstanding sound quality and reliability on some of the world's largest stages, 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 neighbouring instruments, resulting in a very direct and intimate sound, even on crowded stages.
