Product Overview
The Neumann KK 104 U Cardioid Condenser Capsule (Black) — SKU 008721 — is a premium wireless capsule head for third-party handheld transmitters with a Shure-compatible interface. Sharing the same KMS 104-derived condenser element and cardioid polar pattern as the 5000 Series KK 104 S, it delivers true Neumann studio sound to Shure wireless platform deployments across broadcast, live production, house of worship, and corporate event applications. Rated at 148–150 dB max SPL with integrated foam pop protection, it is built for demanding professional stage environments.
Product Description
The KK 104 U (black) extends Neumann’s wireless condenser capsule program to Shure-compatible transmitter bodies. The precision condenser cardioid element offers uniform polar response from 80 Hz to 20 kHz, providing consistent off-axis rejection across the full bandwidth — a critical factor for gain before feedback in multi-channel live and broadcast wireless systems. Enormous SPL handling of 148–150 dB (THD 0.5%) covers the highest-energy vocal and presentation environments. Integrated expanded-pore foam pop protection shields the capsule from moisture and plosive energy, and internal damping suppresses handling noise transmission. The black finish suits black-body Shure transmitters. Includes a large nylon carry bag for transport. This is a special-order item.

Frequently Asked Questions
