The KK 15 capsule delivers unmatched perfection and acoustic consistency for close miking applications. With its
exceptionally uniform supercardioid pattern, it offers excellent separation and a more direct sound than the KK 14 cardioid
capsule – ideal for louder stages. Its layered capsule design overcomes former electret limitations, ensuring outstanding
clarity across critical frequency ranges and tonal consistency across units. Built tough for the road, the KK 15 is ready for
the most demanding live environments

THE OUTPUT STAGES (sold separately)

The analog, transformerless output stage KM A operates with P48 phantom power. A switchable -10 dB preattenuation allows for sound pressure levels of up to 152 dB (depending on capsule type) without distortion artifacts.

The digital output stage KM D is compliant to the AES 42 standard and opens entirely new possibilities, unattainable in the analog domain. The integrated DSP permits remote control of microphone parameters, such as digital gain, preattenuation (6, 12, 18 dB) and low cut (0, 40, 80, 160). An integrated peak limiter and a compressor/limiter with an additional de-esser function protect the audio signal from overload. Neumann’s patented A/D-converter technology ensures a very high dynamic range of up to 122 dB-A across the entire digital production chain.

At any time the user may opt to work in the analog or digital domain, without the expense of a complete system change, simply by using the KM A or KM D output stage.  

Two popular combinations are available as complete sets with capsule, output stage and swivel mount: KM 183 A nx and KM 184 A nx. Any other components are offered separately.
