Neumann KM 184 mt

Neumann KM 184 mt is a small-diaphragm condenser microphone from the Neumann Series 180 with a cardioid pattern, in matte black (mt).

The small-diaphragm workhorse

Acoustic guitar, hi-hats, overheads and strings need a microphone that is fast, detailed and does not colour off-axis sound. The KM 184 is one of the most used small-diaphragm condensers in studios for exactly these jobs.

Consistent across the frequency range

The cardioid pattern of the Series 180 stays uniform with frequency, so the tone of a source does not change when it moves off axis, and spill from other instruments sounds natural rather than dull.
