The nickel Neumann KK 104 U is the cardioid condenser capsule from the famed Neumann KMS104 vocal microphone that has been outfitted with a universal twist-on mechanism, allowing you to use it with a wide variety of handheld wireless transmitter mics from Shure, Lectrosonics, and more that support interchangeable capsules. The KK 104 U accurately reproduces vocals with excellent transparency and range, while the cardioid polar pattern focuses audio capture on the performer, picking up less off-axis and rear sound, which helps to reduce feedback issues from monitors.
Note that this version of the capsule is not compatible with Sennheiser handheld transmitters, please use the KK 104 S instead.

Studio-Quality Cardioid Capsule
With a built-in roll off filter and smooth 80 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response, the KK 104 U condenser capsule yields a transparent vocal sound with an airy top-end, providing studio-quality sound for live performances. The cardioid polar pattern reduces noise and ambiance at the off-axis sections of the microphone without coloration, helping to focus audio capture on the performer and reducing feedback and bleed.
Stage-Ready Performance
The capsule can handle SPLs up to 148 dB with a 0.5% total harmonic distortion and up to 153 dB with 3% THD. The integrated shockmount isolates the mic capsule from handling noise, while the built-in pop protector helps to reduce plosive sounds and vocal pops.
