From Our Research Team:

Your Smart Means to Capturing Classic Acoustic Sound!

Professional recording engineers and producers praise the KM 183 for its ability to capture a precise, clean sound from a variety of acoustic instruments - acoustic guitar, wind instruments, strings, even percussion and drums. But although the big studios may love it, the KM 183 was really designed to provide that big studio sound quality to the project and home studio owner, at a very affordable price. The omnidirectional KM 183 miniature microphone is a very versatile recording tool, able to deliver the subtle nuances of certain sounds that can really make a difference to a listener. Use the KM 183 to "close-mic" acoustic instruments like guitars, winds, strings, percussion and more. It also does an excellent job capturing the "feel" of a room, transferring those special acoustic qualities on to a recording. The KM 183 also makes a great spot mic for pianos, choirs, organs, winds, etc. Get the jump on what is already become the new standard for studio microphones.

Recommended Accessories

Only spent 10 bucks on my first purchase, but you treated me as if was spending a grand. Being an independent business owner, I know all to well the importance of dedicated customer service which is the best way to win over the corporate chains. Tootsie Rolls always win me over too. I'm sure some much bigger purchases are in our future.
