Neumann KK105UBK Supercardioid KK 105 Condenser Capsule Head For Wireless Systems in Black

The Neumann KK 105 U BK is a premium supercardioid condenser capsule head designed to bring true studio-grade Neumann sound to compatible third party wireless handheld systems. Delivering exceptional clarity, high feedback resistance and impressive ruggedness, it is an ideal choice for professional vocalists, presenters and engineers who want top-tier sound quality with the freedom of wireless performance.

Based on Neumann’s acclaimed KMS series, the KK 105 U BK combines a finely tuned supercardioid pattern with a smooth, detailed frequency response and outstanding transient accuracy. The result is an intimate, emotionally engaging vocal sound that cuts through any mix with ease, while remaining controlled and resistant to feedback on even the loudest stages.

Studio Clarity on Stage

At the heart of the KK 105 U BK is a true Neumann condenser capsule, offering the open, transparent sound that has made their studio microphones a benchmark worldwide. Compared with typical dynamic stage capsules, you get a more detailed top end, faster transient response and a more natural midrange, helping every nuance of the performance come across clearly to the audience and in recordings.

Supercardioid Control and Feedback Rejection

The tight, frequency-independent supercardioid polar pattern focuses on the source while rejecting unwanted sound from the sides and rear. This gives you higher gain before feedback and better isolation from neighbouring instruments and stage noise. On crowded, high-volume stages, this translates into a more direct, controlled vocal sound that is easier to mix and more consistent night after night.

Optimised for Close-Up Vocals

The KK 105 U BK is specifically voiced for close miking, with a fixed low cut filter that compensates for proximity effect. This keeps the low end tight and intelligible, even when the singer is right on the capsule. A hardened steel headgrille with an integrated multi-layer pop screen effectively reduces plosives, controls sibilance and helps keep moisture away from the capsule, making it a reliable choice for demanding live environments.

Rugged, Road-Ready Design

Despite its studio heritage, the KK 105 U BK is built for the realities of touring and live production. It can handle extremely high sound pressure levels without clipping, while an integrated shockmount reduces handling noise from the transmitter body. Easy-to-clean construction and robust materials ensure it stands up to regular use on stage, in broadcast and at large-scale events.

Neumann Sound for Third Party Wireless Systems

The KK 105 U BK brings Neumann’s renowned sound to a range of compatible third party wireless systems, allowing you to upgrade your existing handheld transmitters without changing your entire setup. Whether you are working with in-ear monitoring or traditional wedges, this capsule head delivers a consistent, high-quality vocal sound that meets professional expectations on any stage.
