Kommentar des Toningenieurs

Tonal Profile

A stage condenser built to survive a hand and a windshield: cardioid, three-stage pop protection, and a top end that stays civil at close range. It is the flatter, more forgiving half of the KMS pair.

Gain Staging Advice

-47 dBV/Pa is quiet for a condenser - only 6 dB above an SM58 - because the capsule is small and the mic is meant to be sung into. Budget 45-50 dB of preamp gain on stage, and remember it needs 48 V where the dynamic beside it needs nothing.

Was im Datenblatt tatsächlich steht

Wörtlich von der Herstellerseite zitiert, mit dem Datum der Prüfung. Wir behaupten das Gedruckte, nicht die Absicht dahinter.

Ein Wert, mehrere Modelle
«Sensitivity at 1 kHz into 1 kohm 4.5 mV/Pa ± 1 dB equ. -47 dBV»

The KMS 104 and the supercardioid KMS 105 carry an identical specification block: the same 4.5 mV/Pa, the same 18 dB-A and 28 dB CCIR noise, the same 150 dB max SPL, 12 dBu maximum output, 3.5 mA draw, 300 g and 48 x 180 mm. Only the polar-pattern row differs. Two different capsules, one set of numbers.
