The Neumann KK 13 Capsule is part of the modular Miniature Clip Mic (MCM) system designed for universal instrument close-miking applications, including solo instrumentalists, big band and brass sections, and orchestras. Elevating electret technology to Neumann standards, it delivers a staggering 153 dB maximum SPL to capture the details of both loud and very-soft instruments without adding distortion or self-noise. The KK 13 is encapsulated in a lightweight titanium housing to ensure stability and a long service life on the road. Assembled in Germany by hand to align with Neumann's high standards, the capsule delivers first-rate tonal consistency plus that Neumann aesthetics and handling.
Capable of handling an extremely high 153 dB maximum SPL with an ultrawide 130 dB dynamic range, the KK 13 is ideal for orchestras, ensembles, choirs, and ambient sound. It can also be used on upright bass, piano as well as solo instruments where you looking to capture the sound of the space.
With its locking 3.5mm termination, the AC 31 cable (available separately) can be used to connect the KK 13 to the MCM 100 output stage module (available separately) for plugging the mic into a mixing board via XLR. The AC 31 cable can also be used to connect the capsule to a wireless transmitter with Sennheiser-compatible mic-input jack.
Neumann offers three more cables to work with other popular wireless transmitters, including Lectrosonics, Shure, Zaxcom, Wisycom, and others.
