Description

The KM 84 is a small-diaphragm FET condenser with a fixed Cardioid pickup pattern. It was the world’s first phantom-powered microphone, built to run on 48v DC. Its design goal was to be as small as possible; the model name ‘KM’ stands for Kleine Mikrofon (“small microphone”).

Although discontinued in 1992, the KM-84 remains a favorite of vintage mic enthusiasts for drum overheads and hi-hat applications.

The mic is known for having an exceptionally flat frequency response and its ability to maintain its cardioid pickup pattern across the frequency spectrum.

Neumann m49 vs m149

love the sound of this, they need to re-issue the km86, km88 and km84 line, all handmade, I don't care what the price is, I'd buy it.

kickdrum recording with 2 mics that don´t work.

Very nice punchy drums. Nice mix too.
