A stage capsule derived from Neumann expertise, adapted for third-party wireless interface systems
Neumann microphone capsules paired with Sennheiser wireless systems have earned a reputation for sound quality and reliability on the biggest stages, including international televised events. With the KK 104 U BK, this sound signature becomes accessible to users of wireless systems from other brands, while retaining a design tailored to the demands of live performance: proximity, placement variations, high sound levels, and clarity requirements in the mix.
For which singers and applications?
The Neumann KK 104 U BK is aimed at singers, sound engineers, and productions seeking a premium cardioid capsule for handheld transmitters, capable of delivering detailed and natural sound on stage. Its cardioid polar pattern offers a balance between isolation and ease of use: it "follows" movements and axis changes better than a supercardioid, making it particularly suitable for artists who move a lot and performances where expression and dynamics are paramount.

Questions frequently asked
Is the Neumann KK 104 U BK compatible with a non-Sennheiser wireless system?
This capsule is designed for wireless systems with third-party interfaces, to extend the Neumann sound signature beyond Sennheiser systems.
Cardioid or supercardioid pattern for a moving vocalist?
The cardioid pattern more easily follows axis changes during movement. The design limits off-axis coloration to maintain a consistent tone. This behavior is suitable for expressive stage performances.
How does the capsule handle proximity effect?
A fixed low-cut filter compensates for proximity effect when the singing is very close. Bass is thus controlled, even when the lips touch the grille.
Does the grille protect against plosives and moisture?
The hardened steel grille includes an internal pop filter. This construction limits plosives, controls sibilance, and protects the capsule from moisture.
Is the KK 104 U BK resistant to feedback on stage?
The capsule is rated resistant to feedback thanks to a high rejection of unwanted sounds. It also withstands extreme sound pressure levels. An anti-shock mount and carrying case are provided for daily use.
