KM 100
This changing directivity allows to record at a
greater distance from the sound source, and
makes the KM 130/KM 131 microphones es-
pecially suited as stereo main microphones in
A-B configurations.
KM 100 F Output stage
The KM 100 F output stage is an alternative
to the KM 100 output stage. In contrast to the
KM 100 output stage with a flat frequency
response, the KM 100 F attenuates frequencies
below 80 Hz at 6 dB/octave. This eliminates
or suppresses interference caused by wind or
structure-borne noise.
A built-in slide switch allows to raise the cut-
off frequency (-3 dB point) from 80 Hz to
120 Hz. An additional slide switch lowers the
sensitivity by 10 dB.
Stereo recordings
By means of the AC 30 adapter cable two ac-
tive capsules, AK 20 and e.g. AK 40 can be
connected as MS stereo pair directly with the
MTX 191 (A) matrix amplifier. The XY or
MS signal is then available at the 5-pin XLR
output connector of the MTX 191 (A), and
the recording angle can be electrically remote
controlled. The output stages KM 100 are then
not required.
Stereo set
The cardioid and hypercardioid microphones
are also available as complete stereo sets,
SKM 140 and SKM 150, including all accesso-
ries in a single jew-
eler's box.
A further SKM 100-
MS Stereo Set con-
taining the micro-
phones KM 120 and
KM 140 is available.
