Sennheiser Neumann microphone module for SKM 500 G4/2000/6000/9000, condenser, cardioid, nickel

Product Overview

The Neumann KK 204 Cardioid Microphone Module (Nickel) — SKU 008651 — is a premium condenser capsule head developed specifically for the Sennheiser SKM 2000, SKM 6000, SKM 9000, and SKM 500 G4 handheld wireless transmitters, as well as compatible EW G4 300/500 and EW-D wireless systems. Acoustically derived from the award-winning Neumann KMS 104 wired stage microphone, the KK 204 brings full, transparent Neumann condenser sound to Sennheiser’s professional wireless platforms used in broadcast studios, houses of worship, live theatre, and high-demand corporate event production.

Product Description

The KK 204 and KK 205 capsule heads were developed by Neumann specifically for the Sennheiser SKM 2000 system and Digital 9000 Series, with particular engineering focus on enhanced damping of pop sounds and handling noise, extremely low self-noise, and ease of servicing in the field. The KK 204 cardioid delivers the full, transparent, and naturally warm sound character of the Neumann KMS 104 — without excessive bass accentuation — in a format compatible with Sennheiser’s professional wireless handheld transmitter ecosystem. Both capsule heads feature integrated foam pop protection with an expanded-pore surface area that keeps extreme moisture away from the condenser element, critical for high-output live performance and broadcast talent applications. The single polar pattern design ensures the cardioid pattern remains highly uniform across the full frequency range, providing the consistent off-axis rejection that forms the basis of excellent feedback resistance. Compatible transmitters include the SKM 2000, SKM 6000, SKM 9000, SKM 500 G4, and EW G4 300/500 and EW-D series systems. Nickel finish. Field serviceable design for easy dismantling and cleaning.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the KK 204 and KK 104 S capsules?

The KK 204 is designed for Sennheiser SKM 2000/6000/9000/500 G4 and EW-D transmitters. The KK 104 S is designed for the older Sennheiser SKM 5000/5200 platform. Both share Neumann KMS 104 acoustic lineage but use different mechanical interfaces.

Is the KK 204 compatible with EW-D wireless transmitters?

Yes. The KK 204 is compatible with Sennheiser EW G4 300/500 and EW-D Series handheld transmitters in addition to the SKM 2000/6000/9000 and SKM 500 G4.

What is the difference between the KK 204 (cardioid) and KK 205 (supercardioid)?

The KK 204 cardioid offers a wider pickup angle suited for dynamic performers. The KK 205 supercardioid provides tighter directional control and higher feedback rejection for louder or denser stage environments.
