Neumann KM 184 Microphone - Nickel
The KM 184 is a state-of-the-art small diaphragm condenser microphone with a uniform, frequency-independent cardioid polar pattern. Its very natural, transparent sound with very low self-noise and high SPL capability have made the KM 184 a worldwide stage and studio standard for many applications ranging from classical piano to heavy metal drums. Its transparent sound makes the KM 184 a superb microphone for acoustic instruments, such as piano, percussion, drums, acoustic guitar, upright bass, violin, cello, woodwinds, and brass. The KM 184 can be used for soloists as well as ensembles. Thanks to its superior off-axis behavior, the KM 184 is an excellent microphone for stereo and surround recording with perfect imaging. Although the KM 184 is not specially optimized for the human voice, it is often used for classical vocals and whenever sonic authenticity is paramount. Due to its small size, the KM 184 is visually unobtrusive and well suited to TV and radio applications.

I recently installed a stereo pair of these mics on a grand piano for recording purposes. I was absolutely blown away by the quality of sound they delivered. The KM184 makes the recording sound like I am sitting in the same room as the piano. It has a very smooth response across the entire spectrum, and with the right placement you can achieve the perfect balance to make a piano sound better than you ever could have imagined, with crisp tone and no discernible hammer noise at all. Whether you are testing the waters of recording or if you are a seasoned veteran in the field, this is definitely the microphone to use if quality is of any concern.

These mics sound fantastic on acoustic guitar, percussion and, to my pleasant surprise, vocals, too. Neumann really are special. Absolutely worth every penny, and they won’t be my last Neumanns. Hope to be back for a U87 before long.

Great legendary budget microphone. Clarity and balance is good enough.Good companion with a U87 when you record cello, or Dpa pencils when you track a small choir.

Overall:I mainly use this mic for recording acoustic guitars/instruments and it is very difficult to find a placement for this mic that sounds bad. Yet it picks up so much detail and has incredible frequency range. Did a shoot out with a few others and while this one is a more expensive option you certainly get what you pay for. Hi-fi sound in spades.
I purchased this specifically for recording acoustic guitar and I only regret not being able to afford a matched pair. I first tested this mic on its own and then as a spaced pair with an AT4033. I love my 4033 and have had okay results from it but I always thought it was something I was doing wrong because it's supposed to be a good choice for acoustic guitar as well as vocals. But with the KM 184 I only needed to move it around the fit my needs. For loud strumming the typical 12th freet was a good fit. When I did a lead part I aimed the 4033 at the bridge and the Neumann 184 towards the neck and body joint and this is magical! I've read other reviews that said it's a secret weapon for recording a drums as well. One thing I'd caution is that it's EXTREMELY ... MoreI purchased this specifically for recording acoustic guitar and I only regret not being able to afford a matched pair.

I've read other reviews that said it's a secret weapon for recording a drums as well. One thing I'd caution is that it's EXTREMELY sensitive so make sure you do not breathe on it while recording. I didn't use the windscreen so I don't know how effective it is or what the difference in sound is. The only other negatives I've read have been that these are not as good as the original ones. Those go for a few thousand dollars a piece so I mean 😅
Basically perfection in a microphone for recording classical guitar. Such low room noise from the east without needing to use any special preamps. Check the quality of this simple recording… https://open.spotify.com/album/6H24l6vYDPkZekK0IsYCAt?si=_QQuC0vaTyG1dEz1ChznIA
These sound great. I've been recording for over 40 years. I missed my original KM-84's but this is value. I like what they do.
I'm a professional classical guitarist and these mics (like the other km 184 mics I have used) are top quality with excellent sound reproduction. As classical guitarists will tell you, recording a good classical guitar sound is difficult. These mics are an important part of the recording chain (the others being excellent cables, good preamps and ad da converters).
I bought the KM 184s to do slight reinforcement of a solo piano concert in a small concert hall, if needed. So glad I did! I went with the KM 184 because it was a favorite of the professional pianist, for both recording and live. Used just one, positioned at the crook of the lid on high stick. With very minor amplification, it rounded out the sound perfectly. Without doing an A/B test you probably wouldn't even notice it, but it improved the performance perfectly and unobtrusively. Looking forward to putting these to more use!
Excellent clarity for a 100 member symphonic band recording mic. Very pleased with the purchase.
