Derived from Neumann's KMS 105 wired supercardioid stage microphone, this capsule delivers tighter directional control and higher gain before feedback than the cardioid KMS 104, making it the preferred choice for high-SPL live vocal, broadcast, and theatrical wireless deployments. The supercardioid polar pattern offers a narrow front acceptance angle with strong side and rear rejection, suited to demanding stage environments where multiple open microphone channels increase feedback risk.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Neumann KK 105 S (nickel) capsule head for the Sennheiser 5000\/5200 Series is built on the same capsule technology as the Neumann KMS 105 wired stage microphone, using the K 105 element developed from the K 50 pressure gradient transducer found in the KM 150 and KM 185 reference microphones. Its supercardioid polar pattern is engineered using a single polar pattern design that maintains consistent uniformity across the full 80 Hz–20 kHz frequency range, providing stable, predictable off-axis rejection at all frequencies — a key factor in multi-channel live and broadcast wireless systems. Maximum SPL handling is rated at 150 dB (THD 0.5%), and the capsule's multi-level acoustic filter of fine wire gauze provides balanced pop protection while maintaining open, natural high-frequency response. The expanded-pore foam structure also protects against extreme moisture. The capsule head mates directly to SKM 5200 and SKM 5000 transmitter bodies. A large nylon transport 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 105 Supercardioid Capsule
