Application Hints

KM 183

• For close miking of instruments when there

is no need to attenuate extraneous noise,
and in a balanced acoustic environment to
record
- acoustic guitar,
- wind instruments,
- strings,
- percussion,
- drums

• Ideal as AB stereo pair because of the flat frequency

response in the diffuse sound field

• As a main mic, especially for capturing room acoustics

• For stereo recordings with a baffle plate

• As a spot mic for

- piano,
- wind instruments,
- organ,
- choir

KM 184

• For universal use, especially for recording situations when it is

necessary to attenuate off-axis sound (mainly from the rear)
from other nearby instruments.

• As XY and ORTF stereo pair

• Announcer’s mic for broadcasting

• Spot mic, overhead

• Close miking of

- strings,
- wind instruments,
- percussion,
- piano,
- Leslie speakers,
- guitar amps

KM 185

• Especially for recording situations when it is necessary to

attenuate off-axis sound (lateral and rear) from other nearby
instruments.

• As XY stereo pair

• Overhead, toms

• In situations that are susceptible to acoustic feedback

• To attenuate unwanted sound of nearby instruments

• Recording of speech, as in

- TV,
- movie and video productions,
- PA systems

• Produces especially warm and bass supporting sound for

artists who perform in proximity effect range

These are just some of the most common applications. We
recommend additional experimentation to gain maximum use
from this microphone.
