KMS 105 D bk
Digital microphone technology on stage
- Supercardioid pattern with excellent feedback rejection
- Studio quality condenser capsule
- Excellent pop protection
- Integrated A/D converter with DSP functions
The KMS 105 D takes the well-established KMS 105 stage microphone into the digital domain. Based on the AES 42 standard, this microphone is an ideal choice for live and on-stage applications.
It provides all of the features of the analog counterpart. Additionally, it offers the advantages of Neumann’s digital microphone technology, such as an extended dynamic range, a more robust operation (EMC safe), and clipping protection by means of the integrated peak limiter/ compressor.
Using the DMI-2 or DMI-8 digital microphone interface together with the Remote Control Software (RCS), any pre-programmed settings may be stored in the microphones.
