Acclaimed KMS 104 with Extended Bass Response for Female Vocalists

With an extended bass frequency response, the Neumann KMS 104 Plus delivers wide-ranging studio sound for live performance. This handheld condenser mic will capture every detail and nuance of your voice, with a richer bass response that's perfect for adding weight to female vocalists, or any speaker for that matter. This microphone handles high sound levels and plosives without distorting while maintaining their natural dynamic emphasis. And with ultra-low noise and crosstalk behavior, the KMS 104 Plus is perfect for use along with in-ear monitoring systems.

Excellent feedback rejection, even with bass frequencies

Neumann put their decades of expertise and research into the acoustic filters found on the KMS 104 Plus. Beyond taming high SPLs transparently, the filters are designed to maintain the directivity of the mic capsule across the entire frequency range. While many cardioid microphones become much less cardioid in the lower bass frequencies, inviting feedback, the KMS 104 Plus rejects off-axis bass frequencies like a champ.

Built-in filter for tighter, punchier sound

One main reason the KMS 104 Plus sounds so powerful is that its enhanced bass response is tightened up with a built-in, invariable highpass filter dialed in at 120Hz. This gentle filter slopes off unwanted mud, and combined with the overall enhanced bass of the KMS 104 Plus, gives this mic a powerful, punchy sound that's optimized for female vocalists.

Neumann KMS 104 Plus Condenser Microphone Features:

  • Handheld vocal condenser mic with enhanced bass response for female vocalists
  • Advanced acoustic filters maintain a focused cardioid pickup pattern even with bass frequencies
  • Excellent feedback rejection
  • Handles high SPLs without sacrificing dynamic detail
  • Transformerless output circuit allows for long cable runs without sonic degradation
  • Rugged construction with thick-walled metal housing and hardened steel grille

Reviews

Expensive? Yes. Worth It? 1000% YES!
I wasn't sure about buying the Neumann KMS 104 Plus at first—it's definitely an investment. But HOLY MOLY, this mic is beyond what I expected. The build quality, precision in the details, and the sound clarity are simply outstanding. It captures vocals with such depth and richness that it feels like a studio experience every time. This is my first Neumann mic, and I can confidently say—it won't be my last. Absolutely worth every penny!
Game changer
I purchased two of these microphones to record live in my home studio. I've tried many times before, but the results were always muddy, tinny, or unbalanced.
I set these up for the first time today and recorded a quick demo. The results were incredible. The guitar sounds smooth and natural, and the vocals are dynamically balanced. Any bleed is not noticeable.
I'm eager to record more with these microphones!
Music background: Singer-Songwriter
Incredible on thinner female vocals
If you have to mic up a thinner female vocal - look no further. We use this mic on a soprano soloist and it is her go to mic. Flat eq, minus HPF, and of course unless you are running Yamaha CL/QL. Amazing feedback rejection, grand clarity and silky smooth highs. Very accurate and sweet lows. Im happy with it.
Great on Live Female Vocals
Purchased this mic for female singer/songwriter who had been previously using SM58 and sometimes Beta87a. She liked it with no issues at all. I noticed a increased clarity at her shows (and a few fans mentioned the clarity), along with a special may silky character. The bottom boost ("plus") was perfect. This will continue to be her primary live vocal mic. We've also used it to mic instruments in the studio, and had luck with both Ukulele and Acoustic Guitar, so this mic has more than one trick up its sleeve. Great product, great company.
