From Our Research Team:Crystal Clear Vocals!Neumann is world renowned for their legacy of fantastic studio microphones, but with the elegant KMS-105 they are making their uncompromising standards available in an affordable high quality hand held microphone.The exquisite design includes an elastic shock mounted supercardioid capsule with three metal basket layers providing a robust method of getting rid of those frustrating plosives. Not only is it a luxurious looking mic, but it’s also very lightweight making it a pleasure to use in a live performance. When compared to other handheld vocal microphones, the KMS 105 offers a superior resolution of the voice, with extended frequency response and accurate transient detail. Sibilance problems common to other handheld condenser mics are eliminated. No foam is used in the basket, thus eliminating any "clouding" or "muffling" of the sound. The K 105 capsule was developed from the K 50, found in the KMS 150, KM 150 and KM 185 microphones. The K 105 features a supercardioid pattern, achieved by specially modifying the response of the K 50 pressure gradient transducer. The frequency response characteristic is developed in the acoustic realm, allowing for accurate representation of transient details found in music and speech, and thus transmitting a very "open" and detailed capture of the human voice. Due to the tight supercardioid polar pattern and the coloration-free off axis response, a very high level of gain before feedback is achieved. This polar pattern offers the highest degree of isolation while still allowing for a generous "sweet spot" in front of the microphone. Neumann KMS 105 Features:

January 6, 2012 Music Background: Neumann Sound on Stage
by Scott from Phoenix, AZ
Like many other singer/songwriters, when I first came across this mic, I said to myself "I can't imagine spending $700 for a live microphone". After thinking about it more, I realized like many other ... read more [+]people that I've spent $3,000 on guitars, pianos, etc, but yet the microphone and vocals are equally as important as the instruments. December 26, 2010 Music Background: Full time musician for over 8 years. Yes, the microphone is expensive, but don't forget that you're essentially buying a studio microphone, plus a live mic. This is an awesome studio mic as well as a live one. I've used this mic for my home recordings, and it sounds remarkable. Worth every penny. Think about it seriously, and you should realize the importance of a good mic. close [-] Awesome microphone.. will sell the rest
by Erik Schaepers from Switzerland
I bought the KMS 105 a month ago and finally got around to testing it today. August 15, 2009 Music Background: Composer / Independent producer From the first minute I was blown away- the sound of the 105 ( into my SSL channel strip) is simply unbeli... read more [+]evable ! I then decided to re-record my vocals on a song which I had earlier recorded in a pro studio with a super expensive tube mike and a Neve input channel. When I compare the two tracks, they are just worlds apart: The KMS 105 sounds ten times more musical. Worth every penny! (My other mikes go on sale tomorrow.) Erik close [-] Clarity unmatched by ANY live microphone
by Scott McKenna from Bethlehem, PA
I first came across this microphone while watching a late night show on TV, and the featured band was using the microphone. As I researched it more, I was shocked how expensive it was for a live micro... read more [+]phone, and thought to myself "I would never pay that much for al ive microphone". Two years later, I refuse to use a different microphone live on stage. The clarity is in a league of it's own, and it's shocking that it's only $700. I'm an acoustic singer/songwriter, and I've spent $3,000 on guitars, and that's only 50% of my show. Why spend a fortune on one instrument, but forget the most important, your vocals. This mic is fabulous, and is worth every penny. I'd say the only downfall of this microphone is it shows every flaw in your voice, because it's super sensitive, and sounds amazing. April 4, 2009 Music Background: Professional Musician Enjoy it. I own a Shure Beta 58A, 87A, and a Senheiser e935 as well, and if I combined them all, I still wouldn't have the KMS105 close [-] Best vocal mic I've used
by monica woodard from Boone, North Carolina
This mic blows away the Beta 87A. Smooth response, very little eq needed. Well worth the money. Fantastic sound!
