I ran across one of these used recently and the price was too good to pass. I did not own a decent live handheld microphone that was suitable for my voice, so I figured how could I go wrong on a Neumann? I picked it up, brought it home, plugged it into my Mackie Console, and it sounded fantastic. Warm creamy, smooth, detailed, and plenty of headroom. My voice is a lot like Greg Lake so it goes from very soft to VERY loud pretty quickly, and I have been known to blow mics up. This Mic can handle all I can throw at it. AMAZING...but...still not convinced...I plugged it into my Bose PAS Model II with Tone Match engine, and 2 bass modules, dialed in the Neumann KMS 105 patch, didn't touch anything else, and sang a capella for quite some time to put it through it's paces. There was nothing it didn't do well. Then, I sat down with my Taylor K20 CE, dialed in my favorite dreadnaught patch, and about 2 hours later, was exhausted. The Mic through the Bose sounded so good I couldn't get enough of it. If you can only afford ONE microphone, this is the one to get. Hands down THE best live vocal Mic I have ever used, and it has excellent off axis noise rejection. Using any of my other condenser Mics with the Bose is asking for feedback, even at low volume, but using the KMS104 with it, even at very HIGH volume is as smooth as butter. This is a condenser, and you will need to use phantom power, but you will not regret this purchase. It is at home in both the stage and the studio, and will make you sound great. Having said that, it will NOT clean up your mistakes for you. You must be spot on with pitch to get the desired results.
I own this mic and have been using for the past couple of years. The overall sound is unmatched! The depth of the vocal range is much like being in a studio...all your low's are crystal clear as well as your mid's and high's. The only problem that I have with this mic is that it is over sensitive to the other instruments on stage. The cymbals are overbearing in my in-ears all coming through my mic(there are no drums in my monitor mix). Now, as a lead singer I have my vocal cranked, but I wish it was more directional. Great mic overall!
I purchased it as an addition to my home studio's icebox of mics.. I saw one at Estudio David Spero Peligro, I figured if he could have one, I can too. Well, a Neumann was a new "step up" in price and quality. I've spent a lifetime purchasing "runner up" mics (that's all i could afford, and most of the time, i just couldn"t save the cash anywayz)- so, i stepped on the phantom power, hammered down mis faders and BLAMMISimo! Yep - figured out what the big deal is about NEUMANN. YEP - great quality gets you great sound. No doubt bananas on dat. Problem is, now that I've found Neumann mics, I'm cursed as i can't mic anything without wondering if I can use my Neumann or another one??? This is a good price to get into Neumann quality. Buenas.
