Its modular construction offers maximum flexibility while maintaining the renowned Neumann recording quality trusted by professionals worldwide.

Relevant Product Features

The KK 183 employs a pressure-gradient cardioid condenser capsule engineered to provide a smooth, natural frequency response with excellent off-axis behavior. It accurately captures vocals and instruments while effectively rejecting unwanted ambient sound, making it suitable for studio recording, orchestral performances, acoustic instruments, broadcast production, and live reinforcement.

The KM A analog output stage utilizes Neumann's transformerless circuitry with standard 48 V phantom power. It incorporates a switchable 10 dB pre-attenuation pad, enabling the microphone system to withstand sound pressure levels up to 150 dB while maintaining exceptionally low distortion, low self-noise, and a wide dynamic range.

As part of Neumann's modular KM microphone family, the KK 183 capsule can be detached from the KM A output stage and used with compatible extension cables and accessories, allowing remote capsule placement over distances of up to 100 meters for complex recording and installation environments.

Manufactured in Germany, the KK 183 with KM A combines precision engineering, long-term reliability, and Neumann's signature sonic transparency for demanding professional audio applications.
