Learn a little about the preferred microphone of Dave Chapelle and a litany of star vocalists, while I try it out on my spoken voice and drums. How does it sound on snare and as a room mic?

Neumann KMS 105: amzn.to/432nDg9
I use the KMS 104+ for recordings I make for my clients during our session. My practice room is untreated, but with the KMS 104+ it almost sounds studio like. Especially clients with a recording background are enthusiastic about the quality. I record with a MixPre II. I also have the KMS 105 and the e965. These two sound and behave very similar. I prefer the 104+ because it gives my voice more of the hypnotic lower end.
Use it live pretty much every week at gigs but it lives on the mic-stand. However, it's hit the ground from 1.5m up at least 5 times (accidentally of course), and still works beautifully. This microphone is simply sublime for vocals.
Thanks for creating the video =)
Thanks for the feedback! Great to know
Thanks for the good overview. For some reason AMZ's clearance site had one for about $400, which I grabbed. I record radio shows and audiobooks in less than perfect settings, so this works well for me. AMZ shipped mine in the factory box inside a padded plastic bag!
I’ve recently started doing more solo acoustic gigs. I bought one of these, a Fender Acoustasonic and a Turbosound column PA system. The entire sound is nothing short of amazing. It’s a great time to be a working musician.
That’s fantastic. Really cool to hear about a real world gigging use case.
Very interesting video. Enjoying your format and the background music.
Thank you!
One of my fav mics, I use it mostly in live situation. For vocals of course, but it also gives extraordinary good results on the flute, till now I don't think I've heard a better mic for this purpose. I sometimes use it on Hit-Hats in noisy configurations, it gives pretty good results in that job too.
I completely agree, using this on the hi-hat! It's a great mic for that. I've never had the opportunity to record a flute, but I'll keep that in my back pocket. That's really interesting to hear. What all do you record?
very good video - organized, efficient and excellent content with fine production values
Thanks, Thomas!
This is one of my favorite mic for spoken words, but I wish it comes with a more Podcast/Broadcast style mic body. Neumann also have BCM104 that I like but the noise rejection is not as good as the KMS 105
I bought this for my home studio due all the mics I've tested, this mic sounded so nice. And if you put on my ssl 2+ with their 4k button on, its sounds almost close to a nice recording booth.
Yeah, it definitely should!
Thanks for the detailed good quality video
Thanks.
Gate on the snare mic ... not the best way to hear the bleeding amount :-(
I dropped mine at the church and had to send it to Sennheiser for repair. Did not cost to much for repair.
I love my KMS 105, and I enjoy using it for recording. It's great on acoustic guitar, for some reason.. But I'd love it a lot less if I was still gigging. I had to put it back in the box on several occasions and grab a 58. The clever series of baskets may impress in theory, but it's not working effectively for plosive control in a live environment. Also, on the shitty PAs I used as a club musician, feedback was a constant problem. And I was always worried about getting my 600$ mic stolen or damaged.
Yeah, I agree with you on the plosives issue. It’s definitely better than talking into my KM 184, but much more sensitive than any dynamic handheld I’ve tried. Interesting to hear about the feedback issue. I’ve used it for vocals in a band practice space along with other instruments and it worked well as long as it wasn’t aimed at the monitors.
Hi Simon absolutely love your demo here on the amazing kms 105, it's an excellent in a live situation but what I have noticed is a strange fizzling sound when I bring up the level fader on my digital desk which is presonus 16:4:2, my powered speakers are the RCF 935a series, excellent but like I said putting on more level, what happens is a piercing frequency, not loud but the ears can feel it, can you you explain what's happening here, and what this feedback issue is thanks
"The Neumann came as 105". What does that mean?
WOW, the rejection on the snare is INSANE even with noise gate. Would you feel comfortable sharing the unprocessed snare track? Thanks for the video!
Yeah, I could demo that!
Thank you,@@simonpeck! I appreciate it!
@@simonpeck estaría excelente una demostración del kms105 vs el sm57 con y sin gate. ;)
@@estebanvargasaudio yeah, I could do that in the same video.
@@estebanvargasaudio I posted a comparison here: ruclips.net/video/3yGk4-9Dwe0/видео.html
The Aliexpress couterfait is as good as the original, i have 4 of them. Great, great, great mic. Thanks, china
F China!
I need a hybrid between the Lauten Audio LS-208 and this KMS 105. Lauten has the idea right but it just doesn't sound like the Neumann.
That’s a great point. This makes me want to try to find a shock mount for it that would work well…
sorry dude but the sound of your audio isn't a very good example of the Neumann KMS105.. it sounds distorted here on my Genelecs..
Thanks for listening and for your feedback! You might be picking up on some intentional saturation. I was aiming for a bit of warmth and character in the audio, but it seems I may have pushed the compression a tad too far. Different monitoring setups can definitely emphasize different aspects of the sound, so it's interesting to hear how it translates on your Genelecs. I'll definitely keep your feedback in mind for future videos!
I don't believe your bleed test at all. WTF is going on here?
