Neumann Presents New Live Sound Products
Neumann completes its range of condenser capsule heads for wireless systems andexpands the MCM system

Anaheim/Berlin, January 25, 2024: Neumann.Berlin launches several new products forstage use at NAMM 2024. The KK 104 U and KK 105 U condenser capsule heads make thefamous Neumann sound accessible to users of third-party* wireless systems. In addition,
Neumann is expanding its Miniature Clip Microphone System (MCM) with anomnidirectional capsule as well as goosenecks and cables in various lengths.

Neumann Sound for all Wireless Systems
Neumann’s true condenser capsule heads for Sennheiser
wireless systems have been popular for many years,
combining the perfectly balanced, nuanced sound of
Neumann's award-winning KMS series wired stage vocal
microphones with the freedom of wireless operation. Until
now, however, the outstanding sound quality of Neumann
capsule heads was exclusive to users of Sennheiser
handheld transmitters. With the new capsule headvariants KK 104 U (cardioid) and KK 105 U(supercardioid), studio sound on stage is now alsoavailable for wireless systems from third-party manufacturers: Sony (all models), Lectrosonics(all models), MiPro (ACT Series), Shure (Axient Digital, ULX-D, QLX-D und SLX-D Series).

2/4“Although we are convinced of the superior quality of Sennheiser wireless systems, many users
have no option to change because the system is a given,” explains Stephan Mauer, Head ofProduct. “The new KK 104 U and KK 105 U capsule heads now also offer genuine Neumannsound in conjunction with third-party* wireless systems. So there is no longer any reason for ourcustomers to settle for anything less than the original.”

The new capsule heads are available in black, silver and also in individual designs (made toorder). The well-established Neumann capsule heads for Sennheiser systems will of course
remain part of the product range.

New Options for Neumann’s MCM system

Also presented at NAMM 2024 will be the KK 13
omnidirectional capsule for the Miniature Clip
Microphone System (MCM) as an alternative to thestandard KK 14 cardioid capsule. The sound of theKK 13 is similarly balanced but appears more open
than that of the KK 14 cardioid capsule due to itsomnidirectional pickup pattern. In addition, there is noproximity effect.

The KK 13 is recommended for quiet stages or purerecording scenarios where a particularly natural soundis required and the low feedback resistance of anomnidirectional capsule presents no problem. The KK 13 will only be available as a separate
item; all MCM instrument sets continue to be supplied with the KK 14 cardioid capsule.

The MCM system is complemented by two new goosenecks SH 100 and SH 250, which are
50 mm shorter and 100 mm longer respectively than the standard gooseneck SH 150 at150 mm. The popular MCM 114 set vio/vla for violin and viola will from now on be supplied withthe shorter gooseneck SH 100. All other sets will continue to include the standard SH 150
gooseneck. Available Andreas Sablotny separate items will be cables of different lengths.
Andreas Sablotny an alternative 2atche standard cables of 1.8 m (ca. 6 ft), there will be shortcables of 0.6 m (ca. 2 ft) and extra-long cables of 3.0 m (ca. 10 ft) for all four connector types(Mini Jack, LEMO, Microdot, Mini-XLR4).

3/4“We are looking forward to increasingly serving the live market with reference solutions to bring
Neumann sound to the stage,” explains Neumann's CEO Ralf Oehl. "The MCM system has
quickly become the new benchmark in instrument miking and is now being successively
supplemented with additional elements. The KK 13 omnidirectional capsule is a great option for
quieter stages and recording. And the new capsule heads finally give all users, across all
wireless systems, a vocal sound without compromise that seamlessly matches the studiorecording.”
