Available in Nickel and Black, it combines a 40 Hz to 20 kHz frequency range, 154 dB maximum SPL handling, integrated shock isolation, and effective pop protection for demanding wireless stage applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for singers, presenters, theater, broadcast, houses of worship, touring productions, and other feedback-sensitive environments, the KK 105 A uses a tight supercardioid pattern to increase separation from neighboring instruments and stage sound. Its frequency-independent directional response maintains controlled off-axis tonality, while a fixed low-cut filter compensates for proximity effect during close vocal miking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe KK 105 A uses capsule technology derived from Neumann's KMS wired stage microphones and supports Sennheiser Spectera, EW-D, EW-DX, Digital 6000, and Digital 9000 handheld systems. A hardened-steel headgrille surrounds an internal pop screen that controls plosives and sibilance while helping protect the condenser element from moisture. Both finishes share the same verified acoustic and compatibility specifications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTrue Condenser Capsule:\u003c\/strong\u003e Provides detailed transient response and transparent vocal reproduction for professional wireless performance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSupercardioid Pickup Pattern:\u003c\/strong\u003e Offers tighter directional control and greater separation from surrounding instruments than a conventional cardioid capsule.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e154 dB Maximum SPL:\u003c\/strong\u003e Handles powerful singers and other high-level vocal sources without exceeding the specified distortion threshold.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFixed Low-Cut Filter:\u003c\/strong\u003e Compensates for proximity-effect buildup to maintain clearer bass during close microphone technique.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIntegrated Shock Mount:\u003c\/strong\u003e Reduces handling vibration before it reaches the sensitive condenser capsule.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInternal Pop Protection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Helps control plosives, sibilance, and moisture during demanding live performances.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCurrent Sennheiser Compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Supports Spectera, EW-D, EW-DX, Digital 6000, and Digital 9000 handheld wireless systems.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlack and Nickel Finishes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Provides two manufacturer-confirmed color choices with identical core acoustic performance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSupercardioid Control for Feedback-Prone Stages\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe KK 105 A uses a tight, frequency-independent supercardioid pickup pattern for focused vocal capture.
