Based on the same KMS 104 condenser element as the 5000 Series KK 104 S, it delivers true Neumann studio-grade cardioid sound to integrators and engineers who prefer Shure wireless transmitter platforms. The cardioid polar pattern provides excellent rear rejection, outstanding feedback resistance, and extended 80 Hz–20 kHz frequency response suited for professional live vocal, broadcast, and presentation applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe KK 104 U capsule head extends Neumann’s wireless condenser capsule program to third-party handheld transmitters equipped with a Shure interface. While the KK 104 S is designed for Sennheiser SKM 5000\/5200 transmitters, the KK 104 U uses the same precision condenser element and cardioid polar pattern, adapted to fit Shure-compatible transmitter bodies. The capsule offers enormous SPL capability rated at 148–150 dB (THD 0.5%), integrated foam pop protection with expanded-pore moisture resistance, and low susceptibility to handling noise — the same attributes that made the KMS 104 a reference standard for professional stage vocal applications. Uniform polar response across the full frequency range supports reliable off-axis rejection at all frequencies, directly impacting system gain before feedback in multi-channel live and broadcast environments. The nickel finish suits nickel-color Shure transmitter bodies. Includes a large nylon carry bag for transport.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeumann KMS 104 Cardioid Condenser Element\u003c\/strong\u003e — True condenser capsule derived from the award-winning KMS 104 wired stage microphone.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShure Interface\u003c\/strong\u003e — Designed for third-party (Shure-compatible) handheld wireless transmitters, not Sennheiser 5000 Series.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCardioid Polar Pattern\u003c\/strong\u003e — Uniform cardioid pickup across 80 Hz–20 kHz for consistent off-axis rejection and high gain before feedback.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e148–150 dB Max SPL (THD 0.5%)\u003c\/strong\u003e — Handles high-SPL vocalists and demanding stage environments without distortion.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIntegrated Foam Pop Protection\u003c\/strong\u003e — Expanded-pore foam resists moisture and plosives in high-intensity live and outdoor use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLow Handling Noise\u003c\/strong\u003e — Internal damping reduces mechanical noise transmission to the capsule during handheld use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNickel Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e — Matches nickel-color third-party transmitter bodies.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncludes Nylon Carry Bag\u003c\/strong\u003e — Large bag for capsule and accessories transport.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTypical Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHouse of worship lead vocal wireless on Shure platforms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBroadcast studio handheld wireless vocal microphone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLive theatre and performing arts wireless vocal systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuditorium and touring production wireless\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCorporate event presenter wireless microphone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;font-size:14px\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr style=\"background:#f5f5f5\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eParameter\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eSKU\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003e008720\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eColor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eNickel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eInterface\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eShure-compatible (third-party)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003ePolar Pattern\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eCardioid\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eTransducer Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003ePermanently polarized condenser (Neumann)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eFrequency Range\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003e80 Hz – 20 kHz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eMax SPL (THD 0.5%)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003e148 \/ 150 dB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eCompatible With\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eThird-party transmitters with Shure interface\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eIncludes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eKK 104 U capsule (nickel), large nylon carry bag\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cdl\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill this capsule fit Sennheiser SKM 5200 or SKM 2000 transmitters?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eNo. The KK 104 U uses a Shure-compatible interface and is designed for third-party transmitters only.
