Neumann KMS105 BK

The Neumann KMS 105 BK is a premium handheld supercardioid condenser vocal microphone designed for professional live performance. Renowned for delivering the legendary Neumann studio sound on stage, it offers exceptional vocal clarity, outstanding feedback rejection, low self-noise, and detailed sound reproduction. Its rugged construction, integrated pop protection, and transformerless circuitry make it the preferred choice for demanding singers, performers, and live sound engineers worldwide.

The Neumann KMS 105 BK is a reference-class supercardioid condenser microphone engineered specifically for live vocal performance. Widely regarded as one of the finest stage microphones available, the KMS 105 brings the renowned clarity, detail, and transparency of Neumann studio microphones to the live environment.

Designed for professional singers and spoken-word applications, the KMS 105 features a high-performance condenser capsule that captures every nuance of the human voice with remarkable accuracy. Its extended frequency response and superior transient reproduction deliver a natural, open sound that stands apart from conventional stage microphones. Vocals remain articulate, detailed, and present, even in complex live mixes.

The microphone’s supercardioid polar pattern provides excellent isolation from surrounding instruments and stage noise while delivering exceptional resistance to feedback. Unlike many directional microphones, the KMS 105 maintains a consistent tonal character even when sounds arrive off-axis, ensuring natural and balanced performance in demanding stage environments.

Optimized for close-range vocal use, the microphone incorporates electronic compensation for proximity effect along with an integrated low-frequency filter at 120 Hz. This ensures a controlled and balanced low-end response, even when performers sing directly into the microphone. An advanced internal pop filter effectively reduces plosive sounds and wind noise without compromising clarity.

Neumann’s transformerless output circuitry ensures maximum signal integrity, low distortion, and reliable performance over long cable runs. With an exceptionally low self-noise level and a maximum SPL of 150 dB, the KMS 105 can handle everything from delicate vocal passages to powerful stage performances with ease.

Built for professional touring and live sound applications, the KMS 105 features a durable metal body and a hardened steel grille that protects the capsule while maintaining excellent acoustic transparency. Finished in elegant matte black, it combines premium performance with a sophisticated stage appearance.
