Neumann KM 185 Hyperardioid Condenser Microphone

Wrote the following about Neumann KM 185 Hyperardioid Condenser Microphone
Waw! Neumann klinkt doorgaans al heel goed, maar van deze mic ben ik echt geschrokken. Gebruik hem als indoor mic op boom/statief voor interviews en klinkt heel warm én gefocust. De ruimtelijkheid van de kamer schemert niet hard door en de stem zit helder en vooraan in je opname. Zware aanrader!
