Original Description:
Matched pair of NEUMANN KM84i vintage small capsule cardioid condenser microphones. Both in great cosmetic condition. Well maintained with new caps. Rarely been used. Was stored and kept in a drum mic package case for overheads in an old theatre. Both have been tested and used in shows. Sound fantastic. No case, no clips, manuals or cables included. Authentic genuine mics with purple Neumann badges. No clones or fakes. Only selling cause i never use them and need the funds for other pr...ojects. Both working perfectly with consecutive serial numbers. 60549 & 60550The Neumann KM84 microphone is a small capsule cardioid condenser and was the first mic made with 48v phantom power technology. The KM is German for Kleine Microphone (small microphone) and all the electronics were deliberately made quite small so that the mic could be made with a diameter of only 21 mm and a length of 110 mm. It has a -10 dB attenuation switch allowing the microphone to be used up close with loud instruments and by placing the pad at the gate of the field-effect transistor (FET), this "pre-attenuation" prevents the hot capsule signal from overloading the front end of the amplifier enabling the mic to handle up to 130db without distortion. The Neumann KM84 has become a real favourite for classical music recording because of its smooth faithful reproduction but its also known as a favorite mic for drum overheads. The mic is very sensitive to low-frequency mechanical vibrations so you need to be careful where you stand it and really it needs a good pop shield as its also pretty susceptible to wind noise but these are small considerations balanced against the quality of the mic.
