Sennheiser and Neumann Launch Special Wireless Bundle
To mark Neumann.Berlin’s 90th company anniversary, Sennheiser and Neumann have unveiled a promotional bundle that combines a Sennheiser evolution wireless 500 G4 microphone system with the Neumann KK 205 true condenser capsule. This special edition vocal set makes the Neumann sound available to a much wider audience as, until now, Neumann microphone heads had been reserved for Sennheiser’s 2000, 6000 and 9000 wireless series.
Based on Neumann’s series of wired KMS stage microphones, the KK 205 true condenser microphone head features the characteristic Neumann sound. The super-cardioid capsule delivers a vocal sound with “airy trebles and fast transient response”, according to Neumann. The KK 205 can take sound pressure levels of up to 150 dB without clipping and is said to offer high gain before feedback and good lateral isolation towards other on-stage sound sources.
The EW 500 G4 wireless microphone system offers up to 50 mW of transmission power and a switching bandwidth of 88 MHz, which gives engineers room to maneuver in the busy RF spectrum. The system is available in all standard UHF frequency ranges and comes complete with the handheld transmitter, capsule, rack-mount receiver, rack-mount kit, microphone clip and power supply.
The promotional bundle is available from 1 October to 31 December, 2018.
