But although the big studios may love it, the KM 183 was really designed to provide that big studio sound quality to the project and home studio owner, at a very affordable price.
The omnidirectional KM 183 miniature microphone is a very versatile recording tool, able to deliver the subtle nuances of certain sounds that can really make a difference to a listener. Use the KM 183 to “close-mic” acoustic instruments like guitars, winds, strings, percussion and more. It also does an excellent job capturing the “feel” of a room, transferring those special acoustic qualities on to a recording.
The KM 183 also makes a great spot mic for pianos, choirs, organs, winds, etc. Get the jump on what is already become the new standard for studio microphones.
The KM 183 is a pressure transducer with a boost of approximately 7 dB at 10 kHz in the free field. In the diffuse sound field it has a flat frequency response. The pressure gradient transducers KM 184 and KM 185 feature very smooth frequency responses not only for the 0 degree axis, but also for lateral (off-axis) sound incidence. In typical usage, there is no coloration of sound over a wide pickup angle.
