Neumann KM 183 Stereo Set

Neumann KM 183 Stereo Set

2 * KM 183
The "Series 180" consists of three compact miniature microphones with patterns that satisfy the demands of all common studio applications.

Their slender shapes and the transmission characteristics described below make the "Series 180" especially suitable for a very wide range of tasks in the radio and television sector. The KM 183 is a pressure transducer with a boost of approximately 7 dB at 10 kHz in the free field. In the diffuse sound field it has a flat frequency response.
