The KM185 hypercardioid condenser microphone attenuates off-axis sound by up to 10dB, making it ideal for recording speech or for use in a stereo pair. As with the KM183 and KM184 microphones, the KM185 is available in matt black or nickel finishes for unobtrusive installation. Each Series 180 microphone is phantom powered and comes in a folding case with a windshield and 2 stand mounts for connection to the mic body or XLR connector.
