Neumann KMS 104 Plus

Neumann KMS 104 Plus is a premium handheld condenser microphone with a cardioid polar pattern and an integrated pop filter. Designed for professional live performance and studio-quality sound on stage, it combines Neumann’s legendary clarity with the ruggedness and reliability required for touring and live environments.

The precision-engineered condenser capsule of the KMS 104 Plus delivers studio-grade transparency and detail, offering a smooth, natural frequency response with an extended low-end range compared to the standard KMS 104 model. Its tight cardioid pattern ensures high gain before feedback and excellent rejection of unwanted ambient noise, maintaining consistent tonal balance across all frequencies.

Unlike traditional dynamic stage microphones, the KMS 104 Plus features a true condenser capsule that captures every nuance of the voice or instrument. Despite its refined performance, it remains highly durable and resistant to handling noise. The fixed low-cut filter effectively compensates for proximity effect, providing clean and defined bass response even during close-miking situations.

With the ability to handle sound pressure levels up to 150 dB SPL and a wide dynamic range, the KMS 104 Plus is also perfectly suited for percussion, brass instruments, acoustic guitar, harmonica, and stage vocals. Its low self-noise and transformerless output stage ensure a clear, distortion-free signal under all conditions.
