Description

Description

The Neumann KM-184 Stereo Set includes a matched pair of small-diaphragm condenser microphones, designed for professional studio recordings and live performances. It delivers transparent sound reproduction, a cardioid polar pattern and high sound pressure level handling, and comes with a wooden carrying case.

Matched Pair with Legendary Quality

The set consists of two KM 184 condenser microphones with consecutive serial numbers, perfectly calibrated for stereo recordings. It is the successor to the classic KM 84, offering Neumann’s renowned sound fidelity in a non-modular, accessible design.

Transparent Sound & Technical Specifications

It features a pressure-gradient transducer with a frequency response of 20Hz - 20000Hz and a slight 3dB boost in the high frequencies for a bright sound. With a maximum sound pressure level of 138 dB SPL, a low impedance of 50 ohms, and a signal-to-noise ratio of 81 dB, it ensures clear recordings without distortion.

Fixed Cardioid Polar Pattern

The cardioid polar pattern remains consistent across the entire frequency range. This enables effective rejection of off-axis sounds and helps prevent feedback, while preserving natural sound even in complex orchestral or choral setups.

Application Flexibility & Stereo Sound

It is ideal for acoustic instruments, pianos, string instruments, wind instruments, drums (overheads), and classical vocals. Thanks to the precise matching of the pair, it is suitable for stereo recording techniques such as AB, XY, and ORTF, delivering excellent spatial imaging.

Sturdy Construction & Complete Equipment

Each microphone weighs just 80g, measures 22mm x 107mm, and has a Matte Black finish. It requires 48V phantom power via an XLR3M connection. The package includes 2x WNS 100 windscreens, 2x SG 21 mounts, and a luxurious wooden case.

Mode of Operation
Condenser (Small Diaphragm)

Mode of Operation

Condenser (Small Diaphragm)
Very accurate and fast in response. Suitable for instruments with detail and high frequencies (acoustic guitar, piano, overheads).
Frequency
20 - 20000 Hz

Frequency

Indicates the frequency range that a microphone can capture and is expressed in Hertz (Hz). The more balanced the range, the more natural and clear the sound.

Usage examples:

  • 100 – 10,000 Hz to 200 – 12,000 Hz: Emphasis on speech intelligibility, with limited low and very high frequencies.
  • 50 – 14,000 Hz to 80 – 16,000 Hz: Balance of volume and clarity. Ideal for live performances and dynamic microphones.
  • 40 – 15,000 Hz to 50 – 18,000 Hz: Rich, natural vocal sound. Suitable for podcasts, radio, and streaming.
  • 20 – 18,000 Hz to 20 – 20,000 Hz: Full spectrum with high detail and "air". Ideal for studio recording.
  • Below 20 Hz & above 20,000 Hz: Extended technical range for specialized studio applications.
Impendance
50 ohm

Impendance

Indicates how "easily" the microphone transmits its signal to the equipment (mixer, sound card, amplifier). It is expressed in Ohms (Ω).

  • Low impedance (≤ 600 Ω): Stable signal, less noise, ideal for professional equipment and long cable runs.
  • Medium impedance (600 – 1,000 Ω): Good balance, common in live and general use.
  • High impedance (> 1,000 Ω): More sensitive to loss and noise, usually found in older or specialized equipment.
Sensitivity
15 mV/Pa

Sensitivity

The sensitivity of a microphone indicates how strong the signal it produces is when recording a sound. It is measured in mV/Pa or dBV/Pa.

  • High sensitivity: The microphone can capture very low sounds, but it may be more sensitive to ambient noise.
  • Low sensitivity: It records louder sound sources without distortion, but requires more amplification from the preamp.

In general, condenser microphones have higher sensitivity than dynamic ones.

Max SPL
138 dB

Max SPL

Max SPL (Maximum Sound Pressure Level) is the maximum sound pressure level (in dB) that a microphone can withstand before it starts to distort the sound.

  • High Max SPL (e.g., 140-160dB): Ideal for recording loud sources such as drums, amplified guitar, or live concerts.
  • Lower Max SPL (e.g., 120dB): Suitable for vocals and softer recordings.

The higher the Max SPL, the louder the sounds it can capture without distortion.
