Hypercardioid Pattern
Featuring a hypercardioid polar pattern, this versatile microphone is manufactured to offer an extremely directional pickup, meaning it focuses on sounds or voices from a single direction.

Balanced Performance
Equipped with transformer-less circuitry, this microphone is designed for balanced output for natural and transparent sound quality. Not only this but adding to its versatility is the high gain output, which helps provide very-low floor noise and absolutely no colouration to the output signal, resulting in neutral vocal and instrument sound reproduction.
Output Stage
The Neumann KM 185 features an advanced output stage technology that attenuates the mic at off-axis sections, making it an ideal choice for capturing X, Y, and ORTF stereo miking. This versatile integration to the mic also allows for capturing a wide range of percussion, electric, and acoustic instruments, including guitar, violin, piano, drum, and so much more.
Flexible Frequency
With a flexible frequency range of 20 Hz to 20 kHz, this mic is worthy of capturing sounds in diverse acoustical environments. Additionally, this microphone is capable of handling high-pressure levels for up to 142 dB, making it an ideal option for close miking of vocals as well as instruments even at peak level response (high transient).

If the loan is partially repaid within six months, the remaining interest will be adjusted to reflect the new balance. If the loan is fully repaid within the six-month deferral period, then no interest is payable, however, a £29 early settlement fee is payable in respect of repayments within these six months.
Following the six-month deferral period, Novuna Personal Finance will initiate a monthly direct debit payment for the remaining duration of the loan. Interest will be charged at a rate of 18.9% APR on outstanding balances (backdated to the first date of the loan). Novuna Personal Finance will send a reminder letter approximately one month before the six-month deferral period is due to elapse.
