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

Pristine Stereo Imaging with Iconic Neumann Precision

The Neumann KM 184 Stereo Set offers two matched small diaphragm condenser microphones with cardioid polar patterns, renowned for their neutral tone, detailed response, and pinpoint directional accuracy. This stereo pair is the ideal choice for capturing acoustic instruments, overheads, piano, strings, and live ensembles with stunning realism and depth. Hand-selected for matched sensitivity and frequency response, these microphones are perfectly phase-aligned for professional stereo recording techniques including XY, ORTF, and spaced pair.

Natural Sound with Surgical Detail

The KM 184 features a pressure gradient transducer with a cardioid pattern that maintains excellent off-axis rejection while preserving the natural character of the sound source. With a frequency response from 20 Hz to 20 kHz and a subtle presence lift around 9 kHz, these microphones enhance clarity without sounding harsh—perfect for classical instruments, acoustic guitar, drum overheads, and choirs.

Versatile for Studio and Stage

Thanks to their low self-noise (13 dB-A) and high SPL handling (138 dB), the KM 184 mics can handle both delicate recordings and loud sources without distortion. Whether in a controlled studio setting or a demanding live performance environment, these mics deliver reliable and transparent sound time after time.

The compact, lightweight design also makes them easy to position discreetly in complex setups or tight spaces.

Matched Pair for Perfect Stereo Recording

This stereo set includes two precisely matched KM 184 microphones in nickel finish, along with two mic clips and two windshields, all housed in a durable aluminum carrying case. The matched pairing ensures identical frequency response and sensitivity, allowing for accurate stereo imaging with exceptional phase coherence.
