Neumann - KM 184 MT Octo Set
Pack of 8 small-diaphragm condenser microphones with uniform cardioid pick-up. Supplied with carrying pouches, clips and windscreens. Their very natural, transparent sound with very low self-noise and high SPL capability make them a world standard on stage and in the studio for a wide range of applications, from classical piano to heavy metal drums.
Presentation
The KM 184 can be used for both soloists and ensembles. Thanks to its superior off-axis behaviour, the KM 184 is an excellent microphone for stereo and surround recording with perfect imaging.
Although the KM 184 is not specifically optimised for the human voice, it is often used for classical singing and whenever sonic authenticity is paramount. Because of its small size, the KM 184 is visually unobtrusive and well suited to TV and radio applications.
The frequency response of the KM 184 is very smooth and linear, with a slight treble boost around 9 kHz for added brilliance. Its innovative transformerless head amplifier offers a wide dynamic range of 125dB and is carefully designed to maintain the sonic integrity of the capsule.
The KM 184 has a very low self-noise of just 13 dB-A and can handle high sound pressure levels of up to 138 dB without distortion. Thanks to its low-impedance output stage, the KM 184 can drive long cables of up to 300 metres without transmission loss.

To find out more...
It consists of three members with different microphone models: KM 183 (omni), KM 184 (cardioid) and KM 185 (hypercardioid), covering the majority of stage and studio applications.
Because the 180 series microphones are not modular, they are more economical than the modular KM A and KM D series (which offer a wide range of interchangeable capsule heads for analogue and digital output stages).
