Neumann KM 184 Cardioid Small-diaphragm Condenser Microphone - Note: Microphone Cable Sold Separately

Series 180 Small-diaphragm Cardioid Condenser Microphone with Windscreen

The Neumann KM 184 is the perfect example. Need a microphone to record percussion, cymbals or brass instruments? The KM 184 is capable of handling high sound pressure levels with ease - as high as 138dB before overloading. But it's also extremely quiet, making it an excellent choice for capturing the subtle nuances of acoustic guitars and orchestral instruments. And you get that classic Neumann sound!
