KMS 104 plus: Big Bottom, from Neumann
Following the success of the Neumann KMS 104 hand held stage microphone, Neumann has announced the arrival of the KMS 104 plus.
The KMS 104 plus is tailored to have an extended bass response, so it’s especially suitable when extra weight is needed in the bottom end. For example, to enhance low end growl for female vocals and for any voices that need low end enhancement. Having been developed with a wide range of professional vocalists, the KMS 104 plus delivers natural warmth, but without any loss in transparency.
In comparison with other handheld microphones, most of which use dynamic capsules, the KMS series, with its condenser capsules, has a particularly high acoustic transparency, a wide frequency range and excellent feedback rejection.
All Neumann KMS microphones have a robust housing, tough enough for the rigorous demands of touring, and come with a matching stand clamp and durable carry case.
