Cardioid Stage Microphone - Nickel

The KMS 104 Silver has been developed to optimally transmit the human voice with respect to the demanding conditions present on the live stage.  The high acoustic resolution and smooth frequency response of the KMS104 ensure that the musician has optimal control of the stage performance at all times.

Especially due to their low self-noise and crosstalk behavior which is free of coloration, the KMS microphones are ideal for use with in-ear monitoring systems.

The KMS 104 has a condenser microphone capsule with a cardioid directional characteristic which provides the best possible suppression of sounds originating from behind the microphone.

The KMS104 includes a studio condenser capsule to provide the basis for transmitting all the nuances of the human voice. In comparison with other handheld microphones, which operate mostly with dynamic capsules, the KMS 104ni has a particularly high acoustic transparency, a wide frequency range and a fine resolution of transients.

Inside the KMS 104-NI microphone, carefully adjusted acoustic filters and transformerless impedance converters that can handle very high sound pressure levels prevent the microphones from being overloaded even by strong plosive sounds.
