Experience the Neumann KMS 105 Microphone. Perfect for Voice and Drums? 

I use the KMS 104+ for recordings I make for my clients during our session. My practice room is untreated, but with the KMS 104+ it almost sounds studio like. Especially clients with a recording background are enthusiastic about the quality. I record with a MixPre II. I also have the KMS 105 and the e965. These two sound and behave very similar. I prefer the 104+ because it gives my voice more of the hypnotic lower end.

Thanks for the detailed good quality video

Very interesting video. Enjoying your format and the background music.

Use it live pretty much every week at gigs but it lives on the mic-stand. However, it's hit the ground from 1.5m up at least 5 times (accidentally of course), and still works beautifully. This microphone is simply sublime for vocals. Thanks for creating the video =)

very good video - organized, efficient and excellent content with fine production values

I dropped mine at the church and had to send it to Sennheiser for repair. Did not cost to much for repair.

This is one of my favorite mic for spoken words, but I wish it comes with a more Podcast/Broadcast style mic body. Neumann also have BCM104 that I like but the noise rejection is not as good as the KMS 105

One of my fav mics, I use it mostly in live situation. For vocals of course, but it also gives extraordinary good results on the flute, till now I don't think I've heard a better mic for this purpose. I sometimes use it on Hit-Hats in noisy configurations, it gives pretty good results in that job too.

I’ve recently started doing more solo acoustic gigs. I bought one of these, a Fender Acoustasonic and a Turbosound column PA system. The entire sound is nothing short of amazing. It’s a great time to be a working musician.

I bought this for my home studio due all the mics I've tested, this mic sounded so nice. And if you put on my ssl 2+ with their 4k button on, its sounds almost close to a nice recording booth.

Hi Simon absolutely love your demo here on the amazing kms 105, it's an excellent in a live situation but what I have noticed is a strange fizzling sound when I bring up the level fader on my digital desk which is presonus 16:4:2, my powered speakers are the RCF 935a series, excellent but like I said putting on more level, what happens is a piercing frequency, not loud but the ears can feel it, can you you explain what's happening here, and what this feedback issue is thanks

I love my KMS 105, and I enjoy using it for recording. It's great on acoustic guitar, for some reason.. But I'd love it a lot less if I was still gigging. I had to put it back in the box on several occasions and grab a 58. The clever series of baskets may impress in theory, but it's not working effectively for plosive control in a live environment. Also, on the shitty PAs I used as a club musician, feedback was a constant problem. And I was always worried about getting my 600$ mic stolen or damaged.

I need a hybrid between the Lauten Audio LS-208 and this KMS 105. Lauten has the idea right but it just doesn't sound like the Neumann.

The Aliexpress couterfait is as good as the original, i have 4 of them. Great, great, great mic. Thanks, china

WOW, the rejection on the snare is INSANE even with noise gate. Would you feel comfortable sharing the unprocessed snare track? Thanks for the video!

sorry dude but the sound of your audio isn't a very good example of the Neumann KMS105.. it sounds distorted here on my Genelecs..
