Neumann KM183 Stereo Set mt

I use a lot of Neumann mics and nearly all of them gave me excellent results. This pair of KM183 I use mostly for orchestral and choir recording work. They are diffuse field, so they do a pretty good job as a main stereo mics in front of an orchestra.

At first I was a little confused as the chart shows that is a really bright mic (+7db at 10Khz) so I expected to sound bright. But surprisingly they sound very balanced with a beautiful top end and a big and clear low end.

The km183´s are omni pattern but as they go up in frequency response they go more and more directional. At 16Khz they are almost hypercardioids. This makes them perfect for the music I record.

Overall wonderful mics.
