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.
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.
