Overview

The Neumann KK 120 is a premium figure-8 condenser microphone capsule designed for the Neumann KM A modular microphone system. Engineered for applications requiring precise bidirectional pickup, the KK 120 delivers outstanding off-axis linearity, excellent transient response, and exceptionally natural sound reproduction. It is an ideal solution for professional stereo recording techniques such as Mid-Side (M-S) and Blumlein, as well as orchestral recording, broadcast production, acoustic instruments, and studio applications demanding the highest level of sonic accuracy.

True Figure-8 Polar Pattern

The KK 120 features a highly accurate bidirectional (figure-8) pickup pattern with symmetrical front and rear sensitivity. This enables precise stereo imaging and excellent side rejection, making it ideal for advanced stereo microphone techniques and ambient recording.

Exceptional Acoustic Accuracy

Neumann's precision condenser capsule technology provides remarkably flat frequency response, fast transient response, and excellent off-axis consistency. The result is transparent, natural audio reproduction with minimal coloration.

Optimized for Stereo Recording

The KK 120 excels in Mid-Side (M-S), Blumlein, and other coincident stereo recording techniques. It is also well suited for orchestras, choirs, string ensembles, acoustic instruments, piano, room ambience, and broadcast applications.

KM A Modular Compatibility

Designed specifically for the Neumann KM A analog output stage, the KK 120 allows engineers to build a flexible modular microphone system while maintaining the premium audio performance expected from Neumann.

German Engineering Excellence

Manufactured in Germany using Neumann's exacting engineering standards, the KK 120 offers exceptional reliability, rugged construction, and long-term consistency for professional recording studios, broadcasters, and live production facilities.
