Neumann KK183 Nx

The Neumann KK 183 NX is a premium omnidirectional condenser microphone capsule designed for the KM modular microphone system. Optimized for diffuse-field recording, it delivers natural, transparent sound reproduction with a smooth high-frequency boost, making it ideal for orchestral recordings, ambience capture, choirs, and acoustic instruments.

The Neumann KK 183 NX is a high-quality interchangeable microphone capsule from Neumann’s renowned KM modular microphone system. Designed for use with KM A (analog) and KM D (digital) output modules, the KK 183 provides exceptional flexibility for professional recording applications while maintaining the sonic precision expected from Neumann microphones.

As a pressure transducer with an omnidirectional polar pattern, the KK 183 is optimized for diffuse-field environments. It features a flat frequency response in diffuse sound fields up to 10 kHz, ensuring accurate and natural sound reproduction in reverberant spaces. In free-field applications, the capsule incorporates an approximately 7 dB high-frequency boost at 10 kHz, adding clarity and openness to recordings without compromising tonal balance.

Its compact "pencil microphone" design allows discreet placement and versatile use in studio, broadcast, classical music, and ambient recording applications. Available in both nickel and matte black Nextel (NX) finishes, the KK 183 is a reliable choice for engineers seeking pristine omnidirectional performance within the KM modular microphone ecosystem.
