Neumann KM 184 – Cardioid Small Diaphragm Condenser Microphone Stereo Set (Black)

Precise Stereo Capture with Legendary Clarity and Depth

The Neumann KM 184 Stereo Set (Black) offers a matched pair of small diaphragm condenser microphones, designed to capture sound with exceptional detail, accuracy, and stereo realism. Ideal for acoustic instruments, drum overheads, piano, string ensembles, and classical music recording, these cardioid microphones provide a beautifully balanced soundstage with low self-noise and excellent directivity.

Hand-matched by Neumann for consistent frequency response and phase alignment, this stereo pair ensures true-to-life stereo recordings in any critical studio or live environment.

Natural Sound, Clean Imaging

Each KM 184 features a pressure gradient transducer and a cardioid pickup pattern that rejects off-axis noise while preserving the natural tonal characteristics of the source. With its 20 Hz to 20 kHz frequency range and subtle high-frequency lift around 9 kHz, the KM 184 enhances clarity without sounding hyped, making it especially well-suited for capturing the nuance of acoustic instruments and room ambiance.

Engineered for Studio and Stage Versatility

The KM 184 boasts very low self-noise (13 dB-A) and a high maximum SPL of 138 dB, enabling it to record everything from delicate violin passages to dynamic percussion with zero distortion. Whether used for stereo miking in ORTF, XY, or AB configurations, this set delivers consistent and high-resolution imaging with excellent phase coherence.

Its compact design allows discreet placement, even in complex mic setups or tight spaces.

Matched Pair with Premium Accessories

This stereo set includes two matched KM 184 microphones in an elegant black finish, along with two mic clips and two windshields, packaged in a rugged aluminum case. Every pair is matched at the factory for optimal stereo imaging performance.
