Neumann KK105U Supercardioid KK 105 Condenser Capsule Head For Wireless Systems in Nickel

The Neumann KK 105 U Supercardioid Capsule Head brings true studio-grade Neumann sound to compatible third party wireless systems, finished here in a sleek nickel. Built around Neumann’s acclaimed KMS series condenser technology, it delivers exceptional clarity, tight pattern control and impressive feedback resistance, making it an outstanding choice for professional vocalists, presenters and engineers working on demanding stages and broadcasts.

Unlike typical dynamic stage capsules, the KK 105 U uses a precision true condenser design for a more open, detailed and immediate vocal sound. Its supercardioid pickup pattern offers excellent isolation from surrounding instruments and monitors, while an integrated low cut filter and advanced pop protection keep vocals clear and controlled, even at extreme sound pressure levels. If you want the unmistakable Neumann character without giving up the flexibility of your existing wireless system, the KK 105 U is built for you.

Studio Sound for the Stage

The KK 105 U is based on Neumann’s award-winning KMS wired stage microphones, renowned for bringing studio finesse to live performance. The true condenser capsule captures every nuance of a performance with airy highs, smooth mids and a controlled low end, giving singers and speakers a more expressive, emotionally engaging sound that cuts through any mix.

Tight Supercardioid Pattern

A precisely engineered supercardioid polar pattern keeps the focus firmly on the voice, with excellent rejection of sound arriving from the sides and rear. This results in higher gain before feedback and reduced spill from drums, guitars and crowd noise, ideal for loud stages, in-ear monitoring setups and complex live productions.

Optimised for Close Miking

The KK 105 U is designed to be used right up close, with a fixed low cut filter that compensates for proximity effect. This keeps the low end tight and intelligible, even when the singer’s lips are on the grille, so you get powerful, intimate vocals without boominess or muddiness.

Rugged and Road Ready

Although it is a condenser, the KK 105 U is built to withstand the realities of touring and live work. It handles extremely high sound pressure levels without clipping, while an integrated shockmount reduces handling noise. The hardened steel headgrille and internal pop screen protect the capsule from plosives, moisture and sibilance, and can be easily cleaned to keep the capsule performing at its best.

Neumann Sound for Third Party Wireless Systems

Compatible with a range of third party handheld transmitters, the KK 105 U lets you upgrade your existing wireless rig with genuine Neumann performance. Whether you are working on major live shows, broadcast events or high-end corporate productions, you can enjoy consistent, reliable Neumann sound without changing your entire wireless ecosystem.
