Wide Range of Applications

The Neumann KK 205 BK is a premium-quality microphone capsule, designed for Sennheiser SKM 200 and the Digital 9000 series. It brings out the best sound quality when combined with the Sennheiser wireless systems. It produces studio-quality sound on stage and can be used for various live applications, including international TV events. As it can be used in any feedback-prone environment, it is well suited for in-ear and conventional monitoring systems. With its extreme high SPL capability, the range of applications that it can be used for never seems to run out.

Super Cardioid Condenser Capsule

This microphone capsule is a condenser capsule to capture high frequencies and yield a transient result. They are the most preferred type of microphone for studio applications, but the KK 205 does not limit its use to the studio only. It features a super-cardioid polar pattern and offers a high rejection of rearward sound (120 degrees). Unlike the cardioid pattern, the super-cardioid microphones are more sensitive to the sounds at the sides of the microphone than the rear side. It provides a unidirectional rejection of sound and great pop protection.

Studio Quality Sound

A true condenser microphone offers superior sound quality for studio applications, but the KK 205 BK is designed for vocals and speech on stage. It delivers a crisp and clear studio-quality sound for live applications. It possesses a rugged design for stage use and can withstand enormous sound pressure levels of up to 150 dB without clipping. Featuring a tight and frequency-independent polar pattern, this capsule offers a high feedback gain and a smooth frequency response on stage.
