With the Neumann KK 205, you get real studio vocal sound on stage - combined with the freedom of a Sennheiser wireless system. The capsule head relies on a precision-manufactured Neumann true condenser capsule and delivers an open, detailed output with fast impulse response and airy highs. Perfect for demanding vocals and clear speech - even under difficult live conditions.
The sound of the KK 205 is based on Neumann's proven KMS series and disproves the preconception that condenser technology is too sensitive on stage: the capsule head is extremely level-resistant (up to 150 dB SPL) and remains clean and controlled even at high volumes. The hardened steel basket provides reliable protection, while an integrated highly effective pop filter reduces plosives and at the same time keeps moisture away from the capsule - without unpleasantly emphasizing sibilants.
The uniform super cardioid polar pattern ensures high feedback resistance and strong attenuation of rear sound (typically from the monitor range). At the same time, the sound remains amazingly stable off-axis - ideal when singers are moving around the stage or the microphone is not always "perfectly" positioned.
The KK 205 is specially tuned for typical live use with a short lip distance: A fixed bass cut compensates for the proximity effect and keeps vocals clear, defined and intelligible even when the microphone is used directly - often with fewer EQ corrections, which further improves the feedback reserves.
