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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Neumann KK 104 S (black) 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. This is a special-order item.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeumann KMS 104 Condenser Capsule Lineage\u003c\/strong\u003e — True condenser capsule derived from the award-winning Neumann KMS 104 wired stage microphone.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCardioid Polar Pattern\u003c\/strong\u003e — Uniform cardioid pickup across the frequency range provides excellent rear rejection and strong feedback resistance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e80 Hz–20 kHz Frequency Range\u003c\/strong\u003e — Extended frequency response with natural warmth, transparency, and accurate transient reproduction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e148–150 dB Max SPL\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 plosive energy for reliable performance in demanding conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSKM 5200 \/ SKM 5000 Compatible\u003c\/strong\u003e — Direct-fit capsule head with no adapters required.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlack Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e — Matte black color matches black SKM 5200 and SKM 5000 transmitter bodies.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncludes Carry Bag\u003c\/strong\u003e — Large nylon bag for transport of capsule, transmitter, and accessories.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTypical Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHouse of worship lead vocal wireless systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBroadcast studio talent handheld microphone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuditorium and performing arts live vocal production\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCorporate event and all-hands room presenter wireless\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTheatrical and live production wireless vocal systems\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\"\u003e008533\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\"\u003eBlack\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\"\u003eSensitivity at 1 kHz (1 kΩ)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003e1.7 \/ 1.3 mV\/Pa ± 1 dB\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 Transmitters\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eSennheiser SKM 5200, SKM 5000\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\"\u003eKMS 104 capsule head (black), large nylon carry bag\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eAvailability\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eSpecial order\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\u003eIs this capsule compatible with the SKM 5200-II?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eYes.
