Neumann KK143 Nx

The Neumann KK 143 Nx is a premium small-diaphragm condenser capsule head designed for the Neumann KM A and KM D modular microphone systems. Featuring a wide cardioid polar pattern, it offers a natural balance between focused directivity and spacious ambient capture, making it ideal for orchestral recording, acoustic instruments, ensembles, and broadcast applications. Finished in elegant Nextel black, the KK 143 Nx delivers the renowned accuracy, detail, and transparency expected from Neumann microphones.

The Neumann KK 143 Nx is a high-performance small-diaphragm condenser capsule engineered for use with the Neumann KM A analog and KM D digital modular microphone systems. Designed for professional recording environments, the capsule features a wide cardioid polar pattern that combines the directional control of a cardioid microphone with a more open and natural ambient response.

This unique pickup characteristic makes the KK 143 Nx particularly well suited for applications where a realistic sense of space and room acoustics is desired without sacrificing source focus. It excels in stereo recording, orchestral capture, chamber music, choir recording, acoustic instruments, piano, overhead miking, and broadcast production.

The capsule’s precision-engineered condenser design provides exceptional transient response, low distortion, and a smooth frequency response across the audible spectrum. With a high maximum SPL handling capability of up to 151 dB, the KK 143 Nx can capture everything from delicate acoustic performances to high-level sound sources without compromise.

Designed for seamless integration into the modular KM A and KM D microphone systems, the KK 143 Nx allows engineers to build a customized microphone solution tailored to specific recording requirements. Its durable Nextel-black finish provides a professional appearance and minimizes reflections in studio, broadcast, and stage environments.
