Neumann KM 184 Stereo Set
The slender shape and transmission characteristics described below make the Neumann KM 184 especially
suitable for a very wide range of tasks in the radio and television sector.
The Neumann KM 184 is extremely quiet (16dB A-weighted self-noise), making it excellent for capturing the
subtle nuances of acoustic guitar and orchestral perf ormances . The KM 184 microphone is the successor of the
well proven KM 84, which has been used since the seventies worldwide with great success.
Although the KM 184 has the same capsule as the KM 84, the microphone differs slightly on the 0 frequency
response: The KM 184 has a gentle rise at about 9 kHz, a characteristic that was introduced very successfully
with the KM 140. The result is a tonal balance that is fresher and livelier when compared to the KM 84 with its
flat frequency response in that band. This difference was achieved with just a slight change of the capsule's
rear opening, and is not due to resonances.
Compared to the KM 84 the dynamic range of the KM 184 increased by 21 dB mainly through the reduction of
self- noise level to only 25 dB (CCIR) and an increased sound pressure handling capability of up to 138 dB. The
microphone operates without any problems, even if the input of following equipment happens to be unbalanced,
for example as in some DAT/CF recorders. The output of the KM 184, as in all Neumann microphones, is balanced
and phantom (48V) powered.
The KM 184 is a good choice for all users who look for a high- quality miniature microphone, but do not need
the complex, modular KM 100 system, which continues to be part of the Neumann product range. The mechanical
construction was simplified for this model, for example, capsule and output stage cannot be separated from each
other. For this reason the KM 184
is an economical alternative without giving up the electroacoustic features the users expect from Neumann
microphones.
Audient MiCO Dual Mic Preamp
A compact, feature packed twin Mic Pre with built in ultra-high quality ADCs, making it an ideal front-end for
desk-top users.
The front-end design is Audient's renowned balanced discrete Class A design which is also used in the ASP008
and the ASP8024 mixing console - guaranteeing outstanding sonic transparency and detail.
Audient Mico also features one channel of the unique HMX harmonic sculpting technology from the Audient
Black Pre making the creation of vintage style character and complexity as simple as turning one knob. For
recording a single source with twin mics or mic+DI, the Variphase control on Mico's second channel allows
precise phase alignment (or creative mis-alignment) of the two signal paths.
