KM 183

The KM 183 is a small diaphragm condenser microphone with an omnidirectional pressure-transducer capsule, equalized for a flat diffuse-field response. It suits studio, stage, TV and radio work on acoustic instruments, drums, choir, organ and stereo or surround setups.

  • Omnidirectional pressure transducer, diffuse-field equalized
  • Self-noise 13 dB-A; S/N ratio 81 dB (A-weighted)
  • Max SPL 140 dB for 0.5% THD
  • Sensitivity 12 mV/Pa ± 1 dB into 1 kΩ
  • Transformerless output; cable runs up to 300 m
  • Nickel or black (mt); single or stereo set

Beskrivning

The KM 183 is the omnidirectional member of Neumann's non-modular Series 180, alongside the cardioid KM 184 and hypercardioid KM 185. It uses a pressure-transducer capsule with a uniform, largely frequency-independent pattern, so off-axis sound keeps its tonal balance. That helps in multi-microphone, stereo and surround setups. The capsule is equalized flat in the diffuse field. Close to a source in the free field, it has a treble lift of about 7 dB at 10 kHz.

The transformerless head amplifier gives a dynamic range of 127 dB, with 13 dB-A equivalent noise and a maximum SPL of 140 dB at 0.5% THD. As a pressure transducer it has no low-frequency roll-off, which suits orchestra and church organ recording. The low-impedance output can drive cable runs of up to 300 m (1000 ft). The body is 22 mm in diameter and 107 mm long, so it is visually discreet for TV and radio use.

It connects over a 3-pin XLR and takes 48 V phantom power (P48). It comes in nickel (KM 183) or black (KM 183 mt), as a single microphone or a stereo set. Each microphone ships with a WNS 100 windscreen and an SG 21 bk stand mount swivel.
