{"product_id":"neumann-km-183-black-159047","title":"KM 183 Black","description":"\u003ch3\u003eThe Series 180: A Neumann Reference Focused on Fidelity\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe KM 183 is part of the Neumann Series 180, designed to offer a \"studio standard\" approach: capturing accurately without adding excessive character. At a time when many microphones are deliberately colored, the KM 183 meets the opposite demand, very common in studio and classical recording: preserving the natural balance of the source, spatial coherence, and sense of depth. Within this range, it occupies the position of the \u003cstrong\u003eomnidirectional\u003c\/strong\u003e model, particularly appreciated whenever a realistic, stable off-axis response and easy multi-mic integration are sought.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFor Whom and For What: Acoustic Instruments, Ensembles, and High-End Ambience Recordings\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThanks to its very transparent rendering, the KM 183 excels on \u003cstrong\u003eacoustic instruments\u003c\/strong\u003e (piano, acoustic guitar, strings, woodwinds, brass), percussion, and choirs. Its omnidirectional behavior, without marked coloration when the source moves or when capturing an ensemble, also makes it an excellent choice for \u003cstrong\u003eorchestral recordings\u003c\/strong\u003e, organ recordings, and any situation where preserving the room, air, and perspective is desired.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn stereo or surround configurations, its particularly clean \u003cstrong\u003eoff-axis response\u003c\/strong\u003e facilitates a wide and credible image with homogeneous timbres between center and sides. Its compact size also makes it very discreet for TV\/radio capture, on stage or on set, when visual impact must remain minimal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTransparency, Dynamics, and Coherence: Key Features of the KM 183\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eOmnidirectional Capsule and \"Diffuse Field\" Equalization\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe KM 183 uses a pressure transducer type capsule, optimized for a \u003cstrong\u003eflat frequency response in diffuse field\u003c\/strong\u003e. Practically, this helps achieve a natural balance when the microphone captures both the source and the room acoustics. In free field, i.e., close miking, there is a \u003cstrong\u003eslight high-frequency boost of about 7 dB at 10 kHz\u003c\/strong\u003e, useful to maintain definition and attack without needing to force equalization.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTransformerless Electronics: Wide Dynamic Range, Low Noise\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \"transformerless\" head amplifier is designed to preserve capsule integrity, with a \u003cstrong\u003edynamic range of 127 dB\u003c\/strong\u003e. The result is twofold: a \u003cstrong\u003every low self-noise\u003c\/strong\u003e (13 dB-A) for delicate recordings, and the ability to handle high levels (up to \u003cstrong\u003e140 dB SPL\u003c\/strong\u003e at 0.5 percent THD) for powerful sources, without harshness or early saturation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eLow Impedance Output: Reliable Over Long Distances and in Multi-Mic Setups\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe KM 183 features a low impedance output stage, practical in real-life situations: distant racks, multi-pair cables, studios, control rooms, or fixed installations. This design helps limit losses over long cable runs (up to \u003cstrong\u003e300 m\u003c\/strong\u003e) and maintain a clean signal, particularly appreciated when aligning multiple microphones in the same session (piano, overheads, main pair, spot mics, ambience).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical
