Description

The Neumann KM 184 mt Octo Set is a premium eight-microphone bundle built around Neumann's renowned KM 184 cardioid condenser mic, offering unmatched clarity and precision for high-end studio and live applications. Designed for engineers who demand transparent, uncolored sound, the KM 184 excels in detailed recording scenarios-from delicate acoustic instruments to dynamic ensembles-making this octo set ideal for stereo, surround, and immersive audio capture.

Each KM 184 features a frequency-independent cardioid pickup pattern that maintains accuracy across a wide angle, without introducing off-axis coloration. With very low self-noise (13 dB-A), a wide dynamic range (125 dB), and the ability to handle SPLs up to 138 dB, it's as comfortable capturing soft string passages as it is handling close-miked percussion. Compact, transformerless, and visually unobtrusive, the KM 184 Octo Set is a trusted choice for broadcast, orchestral, and studio environments where sonic integrity and reliable multi-mic consistency are paramount.

Features

Eight Microphone Set: Comes as an Octo Set with 8 KM 184 microphones for stereo, surround, or large ensemble recording.

State-of-the-Art Small Diaphragm Condenser: Transparent, natural sound with high precision.

Cardioid Pickup Pattern: Frequency-independent design with excellent rear rejection and no coloration off-axis.

Linear Frequency Response: Smooth sound with a slight treble lift around 9 kHz for brilliance.

High SPL Handling: Captures sound sources up to 138 dB SPL without distortion.

Very Low Self-Noise: Only 13 dB-A, making it ideal for quiet acoustic instruments.

Transformerless Electronics: Provides clean, distortion-free performance and wide dynamic range.

Low Impedance Output: Drives long cable runs (up to 300m) without signal loss.

Compact and Unobtrusive: Slim, lightweight design well suited for stage, studio, TV, and broadcast use.

Perfect for acoustic instruments: piano, guitar, strings, woodwinds, brass, percussion, and drums.

Excellent for stereo and surround setups thanks to superior off-axis behavior.

Often used for classical vocals and choirs where sonic authenticity is essential.
