Product Description
The Neumann KMS 104 Plus is a premium studio grade condenser microphone, engineered for vocalists seeking exceptional sound quality on stage. Unlike conventional dynamic stage microphones, the KMS 104 Plus features a true condenser capsule, delivering superior clarity and an extended frequency response. Its tight cardioid pattern ensures excellent feedback rejection, making it ideal for live performances. With an enhanced bass response compared to the standard KMS 104, this microphone provides additional warmth and depth, particularly beneficial for vocalists with lighter voices. Built for durability, it boasts a hardened steel grille and an internal pop filter for effective plosive protection. Capable of handling extreme sound pressure levels up to 150 dB, the KMS 104 Plus ensures distortion free sound reproduction. Designed for close miking, this microphone is also an excellent choice for recording applications, offering minimal ambient noise pickup. With Neumann’s signature craftsmanship and advanced engineering, the KMS 104 Plus is the perfect blend of studio sound quality and stage ready robustness.
Key Features:
- Studio quality condenser capsule:
Offers superior transient response and clarity, ensuring precise and natural vocal reproduction. - Extended bass response:

Its tight cardioid pattern minimises unwanted noise and enhances gain before feedback.
Studio Grade Sound for the Stage:
The Neumann KMS 104 Plus brings legendary studio quality audio to live performances. Unlike traditional stage microphones, its true condenser capsule delivers superior clarity, a smoother frequency response, and an airy top end. The microphone’s superior transient response enhances vocal expression, making performances sound more immediate and emotionally engaging. Optimised for close miking, it offers effortless intelligibility without the need for excessive EQ adjustments.
Durability and Rugged Construction:
Designed for the demands of live performance, the KMS 104 Plus features a hardened steel grille that provides excellent protection against physical impact. Its integrated pop screen effectively reduces plosive sounds while keeping moisture away from the capsule. The microphone’s transformerless circuitry ensures a low output impedance of just 50 ohms, minimising interference and allowing for long cable runs up to 300 metres without signal degradation.
Versatile Applications:
Although primarily designed for vocalists, the KMS 104 Plus excels in various stage applications. Its high SPL capability and wide dynamic range make it suitable for instruments such as percussion, saxophone, trumpet, and acoustic guitar. Additionally, its ability to capture a dry sound with minimal room ambience makes it an excellent choice for home recording and broadcast applications.
