Neumann KK104 A - Cardioid Condenser Capsule Head For Sennheiser Wireless Systems in Black

The Neumann KK 104 A BK brings renowned Neumann condenser microphone performance to modern Sennheiser wireless systems, delivering studio-quality sound with the freedom and flexibility required for professional stage use. Designed as the successor to the acclaimed KK 204, the KK 104 A BK combines a true condenser capsule with a refined new design, improved handling noise suppression and rugged construction for demanding live applications.

Featuring a tight cardioid pickup pattern, the KK 104 A BK offers excellent feedback resistance alongside a slightly more open and forgiving sound character than the supercardioid KK 105 A. Its transparent response, precise transient reproduction and airy high frequencies produce an immediate, detailed and intelligible vocal sound that requires less equalisation. A fixed low cut filter helps control proximity effect when close miking, while the hardened steel grille and integrated pop screen provide effective protection against moisture, plosives and sibilance.

The KK 104 A BK is compatible with Sennheiser Spectera, EW-D, EW-DX and Digital 6000 and 9000 handheld transmitters, making it an excellent choice for professional vocalists, presenters and performers working across advanced wireless systems.

• Neumann Condenser Sound - True condenser capsule technology delivers transparent, detailed sound with excellent transient response and an airy high frequency presentation.
• Tight Cardioid Pickup - The focused cardioid pattern provides excellent feedback resistance while remaining forgiving of positioning and head movements during expressive performances.
• Advanced Live Performance Design - Reduced handling noise, integrated pop protection and enormous SPL capability ensure dependable performance in demanding professional stage environments.

Studio Quality Wireless Performance:

The KK 104 A BK brings the sound character of Neumann’s renowned KMS series wired stage microphones to compatible Sennheiser wireless systems. Its true condenser capsule captures vocals with exceptional transparency, detail and transient response, offering a level of clarity that conventional dynamic stage microphones cannot easily match. The result is a more immediate and intelligible vocal sound with smooth frequency reproduction and an airy high-frequency character. Designed for professional performers, the capsule head maintains impressive clarity even at high sound pressure levels, while excellent feedback resistance makes it well suited to demanding stage environments. Whether used for lead vocals, backing vocals or spoken word applications, the KK 104 A BK provides the detailed and natural sound expected from Neumann.

Cardioid Performance for the Stage:

The KK 104 A BK uses a tight cardioid pickup pattern designed to provide excellent isolation and feedback resistance without introducing unwanted off-axis colouration. Compared with the supercardioid KK 105 A, its slightly more open sound character offers greater forgiveness when performers move their heads or change their microphone position during a performance. This makes it particularly suitable for expressive vocalists who need freedom of movement without compromising clarity. The capsule is optimised for close miking and incorporates a fixed low cut filter to compensate for the proximity effect, keeping low frequencies clear and controlled. Its excellent rejection characteristics also make the KK 104 A BK suitable for stages using conventional monitor speakers or in-ear monitoring systems.

Built for Demanding Wireless Applications:

Designed to withstand the demands of professional live performance, the KK 104 A BK combines robust construction with practical features that help ensure reliable operation on stage. An integrated shock mount helps reduce handling noise, while the hardened steel grille and integrated pop screen protect the capsule from moisture and help control plosives and sibilance. The capsule also offers enormous SPL capability, allowing it to handle powerful vocal performances without compromising sound quality. Compatibility with Sennheiser Spectera, EW D, EW DX and Digital 6000 and 9000 handheld transmitters makes the KK 104 A BK a versatile upgrade for modern wireless setups. Its easy cleaning and maintenance further support dependable use across touring, broadcast and professional performance environments.
