Neumann MCM-KK-14 Cardioid Capsule Head

As the heart of Neumann's MCM (Miniature Clip Mic) System, the KK-14 cardioid capsule head redefines the electret microphone, delivering a full-range sound with natural bass, smooth mid-range, and elegant highs.The KK 14 was designed with a re-imagined layer approach allowing each component to be application-specific as opposed to the standard highly-integrated design. Hand-assembled by Neumann in Germany, the KK-14 inhabits a titanium housing so you can mic almost anything with and be sure it will show up for the next gig ready to go.Neumann's attention to detail and unique design approach produce capsules that sound exactly the same, reducing the need for extensive EQing and providing consistency from show to show.Neumann MCM-KK-14 Features:Layered capsule design overcomes former electret restrictionsEnhanced clarity across critical frequency rangesCardioid patternUnmatched tonal consistencyRoad-tough and long-lasting designNeumann MCM-KK-14 Specifications:Acoustic operating principle: Pressure gradient transducerDirectional pattern: CardioidFrequency range: 20 Hz - 20 kHzSensitivity at 1 kHz into 1 k: 3.6 mV/Pa 49 dBv ± 2 dBRated output impedance: KK 14: 10 Rated load impedance: 1000 OhmsSignal-to-noise ratio, CCIR1) (rel. 94 dB SPL): 63 dBSignal-to-noise ratio, A-weighted1) (rel. 94 dB SPL): 71 dBEquivalent noise level, CCIR1): 31 dBEquivalent noise level, A-weighted1): 23 dB-AMaximum SPL2) for THD< 0.5 %: 147 dB SPLwith MCM 100, Usupply = 10 V, Rfeed = 20 k: 153 dB SPLwith Usupply = 5 V, Rfeed = 8.25 k: 147 dB SPLDynamic range of the amplifier, A-weighted2) for THD< 0.5 %: KK 14: 130 dBPower supply: KK 14:  10 V, with Rfeed = 20 kCurrent consumption: KK 14: 0.22 mAWeight: KK 14: 2.3 gDimensions (Ø x L): KK 14: Ø 12 mm x 11 mmOperating temperature range: 0 °C - +40 °C (32 °F - 104 °F)Storage temperature range: −20 °C - +70 °C (−4 °F - 158 °F)Operating humidity range: 0 % - 90 %Storage humidity range: 0 % - 95 % Neumann MCM-KK-14 Cardioid Capsule Head.
