Application Hints
D-01
•
Universally applicable, and particularly suitable for
applications where maximum resolution and transpar-
ency are desired.
KK 183 + KM D
•
For close miking of instruments when there is no need
to attenuate extraneous noise, and in a balanced
acoustic environment to record acoustic guitar, wind
instruments, strings, percussion, drums
•
Ideal as AB stereo pair because of the flat frequency
response in the diffuse sound field
•
Main mic, especially for capturing room acoustics
•
For stereo recordings with a baffle plate
•
Spot mic for piano, wind instruments, organ, choir
KK 184 + KM D
•
For universal use, especially for recording situations
when it is necessary to attenuate off-axis sound (mainly
from the rear) from other nearby instruments.
•
As XY and ORTF stereo pair
•
Broadcasting mic for announcers
•
Spot mic and overhead
•
Close miking of strings, wind instruments, percussion,
piano, Leslie speakers and guitar amps
KK 185 + KM D
•
Especially for recording situations when it is necessary
to attenuate off-axis (lateral and rear) sound from other
nearby instruments.
•
As XY stereo pair
•
Overhead, toms
•
In situations that are susceptible to acoustic feedback
•
To attenuate unwanted sound of nearby instruments
•
Recording of speech, as in TV, movie and video
productions, PA systems
•
Produces especially warm and bass supporting sound
for artists who perform in proximity effect range
KK 131 + KM D
• For close miking of instruments when there is no need
to attenuate extra-neous noise, and in a balanced
acoustic environment to record acoustic guitar, wind
instruments, strings, percussion, and drums
• Flat frequency response for close miking, spot mic
KK 143 + KM D
• Polar response characteristic acts more like an omni.
Therefore, it is an ideal tool to record larger instru-
ment ensembles
• As AB stereo pair, especially in rooms with less than
ideal acoustics
• As spot mic for strings, wind instruments, percussion,
and Leslie speakers
• Acts very neutral when used close up to bass instru-
ments, such as double bass, bass amps, guitar amps
KK 145 + KM D
• It naturally compensates for proximity effect
• Very neutral tonal balance during close miking of
speech, as in TV, movie and video, PA
• Acts very neutral when used close up to bass instru-
ments, such as double bass, bass amps, guitar amps,
leslie speakers, toms
TLM 103 D
• A universal cardioid mic
• Vocalist recording
• Announcer’s mic for broadcasting/voice over
• Due to minimal self-noise: on-air mic for radio/
broadcast, very low amplitude signals, radio drama,
sampling, foley/sound effects
• Home recording and project studios
• Spot mic for wind instruments, strings, percussion,
guitar amps, drum overhead
