KMS 105By employing a unique triple acoustic filter, The KMS 105 minimizes popping and wind noise, and with special mechanical and electrical filters, handling noise is virtually eliminated. Because of the superior resolution and linear high frequency response, it is very easy for the artist using the KMS 105 to identify whether he or she is "on mic".Acoustical features:When compared to other handheld vocal microphones, the KMS 105 offers a superior resolution of the voice, with extended frequency response and accurate transient detail. Sibilance problems common to other handheld condenser mics are eliminated. No foam is used in the basket, thus eliminating any "clouding" or "muffling" of the sound. Also, by using a studio grade DC-polarized condenser capsule, all the nuances of the voice come through with subtlety, power and focus.The K55 capsule was developed from the famous K50, found in the KMS 150, KM 150 and KM 185 microphones. This new version features a super-cardioid pattern, achieved by specially modifying the response of the K50 pressure gradient transducer. The frequency response characteristic is developed in the acoustic realm, allowing for accurate representation of transient details found in music and speech, and thus transmitting a very "open" and detailed capture of the human voice.Requires phantom power..
