Essential Information About the KMS 105 Stage Microphone
- Supercardioid directivity for excellent off-axis rejection and precise control on stage
- Studio-quality condenser capsule offering transparency, extended response, and detailed transients
- Exceptionally low self-noise, ideal for use with in-ear monitoring systems
- High-level handling thanks to acoustic filters and transformerless circuitry
A Professional Stage Standard
Designed for optimal vocal capture, the KMS 105 has established itself over the years as an international reference among high-end stage microphones. Its faithful reproduction and flat frequency response allow singers and speakers to hear their performance precisely while benefiting from controlled projection.
Who Is It For and What Are Its Uses?
The KMS 105 is aimed at demanding singers, choristers, and presenters in concerts, tours, or live recordings. Its effective 180-degree sound rejection makes it a top choice on noisy stages, close to stage monitors or wedges, and it is particularly well-suited for configurations with in-ear monitors.
What Makes the Difference on Stage
"Studio" Clarity in a Handheld Format
The condenser capsule offers great transparency and precision on attacks, where many handheld dynamic microphones smooth out transients. The result is a present, intelligible, and naturally balanced voice.
Exemplary Rear Rejection and Plosive Control
The supercardioid directivity optimizes vocal focus and limits feedback, while finely tuned acoustic filters reduce plosives without coloring the timbre. The transformerless impedance circuit tolerates high sound pressure levels without distortion.

Reception this afternoon, really a marvel, I compared it to an SM 58 that is pale next to the KM 105, let's not talk about the metallic sounding Behringer B2. A few studio tests, with several male voices, a recorder and a tambourine: nickel! On the other hand, for the acoustic guitar, I stick with the T Bone SC 180.
On this day, the best price on the market at Woodbrass 449âŹ, all other sites stay at 489⏠and shipped in 2 days with possible chronopost tracking. I would highly recommend Woodbrass!

The ideal microphone for me who wants to record my voice and guitar takes simultaneously, with a sensitivity and precision that does not however pick up the slightest ambient noise. Tested previously: Samson C03, OK but too sensitive + blowing with my Voice Live Play and AKG D5, good but it's still a dynamic! To buy without hesitation if the budget allows it: if the voice is not there to listen to, it is this one that you will have to work on and not desperately fiddle with the mix settings...

A Neumann! with all that excellence that implies... The sound grain of this microphone is typically Neumann: faithful, the bass and the mids are very precise, this gives it a certain warmth... The highs are clear and airy, without being aggressive. In short THE SOUND! A Grand Microphone, with a price that has come down a lot, but is still expensive... However, VERY good gear has always been expensive, and this microphone is no exception, unfortunately!

I just received it, I rushed to rehearsal with it... I am delighted with this microphone! it is extremely precise, and in the high and low frequencies it is a real pleasure, no need to search for the sound as in some microphones, the sound is there, all you have to do is have fun with it, a real pleasure to sing with this quality! It respects the tone of voice, it is warm... I highly recommend it, the price is high, but it is well worth it...
