he “Series 180” consists of three com-
pact miniature microphones with patterns that
satisfy the demands of all common studio
applications. Because of its optimized mecha-
nical construction and conscious omission of
modularity, which is unnecessary in many
cases, the “Series 180” is predestined for eco-
nomy-minded production and home recor-
ding studios.
The KM 183 omnidirectional and KM 185
hypercardioid microphones are based on the
tremendously successful KM 184 cardioid
microphone, which has become a standard
within the global studio community in just a
very short time.
All “Series 180” microphones are available
with either matte black or nickel finish. They
come in a folding box with a windshield and
two stand mounts that permit connection to
the microphone body, or the XLR-connector.
Applications
Their slender shapes and the transmission charac-
teristics described below make the “Series 180”
especially suitable for a very wide range of tasks
in the radio and television sector.
Acoustic features
The KM 183 and KM 184 microphones are the
successors of the well proven KM 83 and
KM 84, which have been used since the seven-
ties worldwide with great success. The
KM 185 rounds out the series with a hyper-
cardioid microphone.
The KM 183 is a pressure transducer with a
boost of approximately 7 dB at 10 kHz in the
free field. In the diffuse sound field it has a
flat frequency response.

microphones for all typical
