FAQs:

What is the pickup pattern?

The KK 145 capsule head has a cardioid polar pattern with an acoustic bass roll-off in the free field. The pickup pattern is effective in minimising off-axis feedback and is ideal when ambiance control is required.

Does it reduce the proximity effect?

Being a pressure gradient transducer, it naturally features the proximity effect. The capsule head is optimised for a flat frequency response at a recording distance of around 15cm. The pickup pattern also reduces any low-frequency interference such as wind and structure-borne noises.

How much does it weigh?

This high-quality capsule head weighs only around 15 grams and can be used with either the Neumann KM A or KM D output stages.
