Microphones

The Neumann KM 84 is a small-diaphragm condenser microphone introduced in 1966 and recognised as the first microphone designed for 48 volt phantom power operation.

The Neumann U87 is one of the most recognisable and widely used studio microphones in professional recording history, established as a reference standard for vocals, speech, and general studio recording since its introduction in the late 1960s.

The AKG C451 is a small diaphragm condenser microphone with a heritage dating back to the late 1960s, recognised for its precision engineering and long standing role in professional recording studios. The current C451 B continues this lineage as the modern production version.

The AKG C414 is a one-inch large diaphragm condenser microphone family widely used in professional studio, broadcast, and stage applications, recognised for its versatility, reliability, and long-standing role in recording history.

Introduced in 1997, the Neumann TLM 103 is a large-diaphragm cardioid condenser microphone developed as a more accessible alternative to the Neumann U 87 Ai. It uses Neumann’s K 103 capsule, derived from the K 67/K 87 capsule architecture, together with a transformerless FET output stage.

The Shure KSM44 is a large diaphragm condenser microphone developed as part of Shure’s KSM studio microphone series, designed for modern professional recording environments requiring flexibility, consistency, and precision.
