Neumann KM 183 (Nickel) Omni-Directional Microphone - Nickel

The Neumann KM 183 omni-directional is not only ideal for close miking of instruments when there is no need to attenuate extraneous noise, but also perfect for use as an AB stereo pair because of the flat frequency response in the diffuse sound field.

The KM 183 works incredibly well as a spot mic for piano, wind instruments, organ, choir and is the perfect choice for all users who look for a high-quality miniature microphone.
