Reviews

"No ´ifs´, ´ands´ or ´buts´: The Neumann KMS 105 earns our wholehearted recommendation."
Tastenwelt 4/2000

"It has a very transparent and open sound, reducing or eliminating the need for additional console EQ." " ... dynamic range goes from a whisper to a roar. The response of this microphone to these nuances was impressive, to say the least." "It is definitely a high-end microphone designed not to break the bank."
Pro Audio Review 6/2000

"This mic is destined for a great future thanks to a sound that is entirely beyond reproach." " ... singers who really know about microphones and already have a few of their own are almost bound to add this one to their collections."
Prosound 4/2000

" ... the Neumann KMS 105 had a clarity that was indescribable." "There are only a few mics that would make you just drop everything and buy one. I would say the Neumann KMS 105 is most definitely one of those few."
Audio Media 8/2000

"Included in the package is a clever, nylon-and-Velcro padded bag that wraps around both the mic and the stand clip, offering a high degree of protection." "In use, the 105 proved to be an impressive mic with a character all its own." " ... for the performer with clarity and articulation, the open and natural character that the 105 imparts to an outstanding vocal will be appreciated by those with the ears to hear it."
Mix 7/2000

"The Neumann KMS 105 is a dream. The outstanding foamless pop screen was completely convincing."
Soundcheck 6/2000
