The KMS microphones were designed by Neumann engineers with the aim of delivering exceptional vocal reproduction during live performances, making them the top choice for demanding concerts. The KMS 105 model has become a global standard for high-quality stage microphones. These microphones seamlessly integrate with personal monitoring systems due to their low self-noise level and uncolored sound off-axis. With their supercardioid polar pattern, they effectively reduce unwanted sounds within a 180° hemisphere, allowing users to choose the microphone option that best suits their specific needs. The high acoustic resolution and nearly linear frequency response of these microphones ensure consistent high-quality sound, even in challenging stage conditions.
