Thanks to the
combination of the KK 204 and KK 205 capsule heads with the wireless Sennheiser
2000/9000 series, Neumann sound is also available in the wireless domain.
This opens up new sound dimensions for the most demanding live-performance
engineering.
Here the key areas of expertise of Neumann and Sennheiser are united in an
unprecedented manner to create products with no compromises for professional
use. Neumann capsules have already been used in combination with the Sennheiser
SKM 5200 handheld transmitter for the past 10 years on some of the largest
stages of the world and at mega-events such as the Eurovision Song Contest,
where the highest demands are placed on the sound and transmission reliability.
These systems reveal their strengths particularly in conjunction with Sennheiser
in-ear monitoring.
The design of Neumann capsule heads for the Sennheiser SKM 2000 handheld
transmitter is based on the extremely successful, multiple award-winning wired
stage microphones KMS 104 and KMS 105. From these microphones the capsule heads
have acquired not only their outstanding sound characteristics and technical
specifications, but also their robust construction and effective suppression of
pop sounds and handling noise.
The sound of the capsule heads can be described as full, transparent and
naturally warm, without excessive accentuation of the bass. Due to the �single
polar pattern design�, the polar patterns are very uniform over the entire
frequency range, thus providing the basis for excellent resistance to feedback.
The capsules, and also of course the transmitter unit, are available in both
nickel and black. Included with the capsule heads is a large nylon bag, which
can hold not only the capsule but also the handheld transmitter, battery packs
and additional accessories.
The KK 204 and KK 205 capsule heads were developed especially for the wireless
Sennheiser 2000/9000 series. Particular importance has been placed on further
damping of pop sounds and handling noise, an extremely low level of self-noise,
and ease of servicing. Both capsule heads have integrated foam pop protection.
The foam pores have a greatly increased surface area and can keep extreme
moisture away from the capsule.
KK 204
Directional characteristic: Cardioid
The capsule of the KMS 104 vocal microphone, exclusively for use with the
Sennheiser SKM 2000/9000 handheld transmitter. The capsule head provides the
best possible suppression of sound originating from 180� to the rear.
KK 205
Directional characteristic: Supercardioid
The capsule of the KMS 105 vocal microphone, exclusively for use with the
Sennheiser SKM 2000/9000 handheld transmitter. The capsule head has greater
directivity and maximizes incident sound from the front as opposed to sound from
the rear. . |
