Sennheiser Neumann KMS 104 cardioid capsule for use with Sennheiser...
Product Overview
The Neumann KMS 104 Cardioid Condenser Capsule (Nickel) — SKU 008534 — is a precision wireless capsule head engineered exclusively for use with the Sennheiser SKM 5200 and SKM 5000 handheld transmitters. Based on the acclaimed Neumann KMS 104 wired stage microphone, this capsule brings true condenser studio-grade audio quality to professional wireless live production, broadcast, and high-demand corporate event applications. The cardioid polar pattern delivers wide front-of-source pickup with strong rear rejection, making it a preferred choice for solo vocal and presenter applications where feedback resistance and natural sound reproduction are equally critical.
Product Description
The Neumann KK 104 S (nickel) capsule head for the Sennheiser 5000/5200 Series wireless system is built around a precision condenser element derived directly from Neumann's KMS 104 wired stage microphone. The capsule's cardioid pickup pattern provides uniform polar response across the full 80 Hz–20 kHz frequency range, a key advantage in live production environments where consistent off-axis rejection determines system gain before feedback. Internal integrated foam pop protection with an expanded-surface-area foam structure shields the condenser element from moisture and plosive energy, extending reliability in high-intensity live and broadcast use. The capsule head features a rugged, stage-ready housing that mates directly with the SKM 5200 and SKM 5000 transmitter bodies, accepting the same battery packs and accessories as other 5000 Series components. Maximum SPL handling is rated at 148–150 dB for THD 0.5%, positioning this capsule for use alongside high-SPL vocalists, theatrical productions, and any application where dynamic range is non-negotiable. A large nylon carry bag is included for transport of the capsule, transmitter body, and accessories. This is a special-order item.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this capsule compatible with the SKM 5200-II transmitter?
- Yes. The Neumann KK 104 S is compatible with both the original SKM 5200 and the SKM 5200-II, as well as the SKM 5000 and SKM 5000-II transmitters. It is not compatible with other Sennheiser wireless series.
- What is the difference between the KMS 104 (cardioid) and KMS 105 (supercardioid) capsules?
- The KMS 104 uses a cardioid pickup pattern with a wider front acceptance angle, suited for vocalists who move frequently. The KMS 105 uses a supercardioid pattern with tighter directionality and higher feedback rejection, preferred in louder stage or high-SPL environments.
- Does this capsule require phantom power?
- No. The capsule is powered by the SKM 5200 or SKM 5000 transmitter body's internal power supply. No external phantom power is required.
