This is the superlative live vocal microphone. It is totally transparent, responsive, and it is true to what it is being fed. If you are looking for a vocal mic that will hide your vocalistic imperfections, off-kilter pitch warble, drunken karaoke mutterings which sound better in your head than what gets recorded...you might want to consider another transducer. The Neumann folks got everything right with this baby. Sturdy construction, excellent dynamics, full open sound, clarity that will humble you and make you want to become a better person and treat yourself with way more respect, if you can even fathom that...Seriously. This microphone single handedly and second handedly has changed the course of my life, forever. I just wish I knew how to sing better, so as to ... MoreThis is the superlative live vocal microphone.

This microphone is proof positive that perfection exists, and if you find that your mileage results are otherwise after having acquired this gem of the Jade Monkey...you probably should not be singing anyways.

Overall:There are some very good dynamic mics for playing live, I don't dispute that. I read reviews on all of them and those reviews were not unanimous favoring any single mic, so I kept reading. After many years in broadcasting and voice over work, I always found Neumann mics to be favored in the larger studios, many Sennheisers too; so I started looking at those brands with the thought that if I could get a condenser for stage use, that is what I would do. Enter the KMS105. It was like taking a pillow off my voice. I love this mic and use it at every gig with NO problems, period. You will have to do a couple things before your experience is what you hope for. First, you'll need to know that you don't have to eat the mic, second, you'll want to record yourself ...

First, you'll need to know that you don't have to eat the mic, second, you'll want to record yourself and perhaps work on some things like how you end words. DO work with it before you take it out, you WILL find things in your voice you didn't know were there; good and bad - it brings them all out. The best thing I can say though is, this is an instrument that you will want to learn to play and play well. It will change your entire performance for the better. It will add clarity and quality and the words will cut through the mix so everyone will enjoy your show. I use in-ear monitors and I sometimes catch myself listening to them and smiling during a song because this mic sounds that good.

I was in the market for a new mic after using a Beta 87A for several years. I thought about just getting another one or even a regular old 58. Then I came across the KMS 105 and thought, "Wow, who on Earth needs a mic this expensive?!?" Then I thought, as a singer songwriter, my most important instrument is my voice. I'm playing a J45 up here and it's not even my primary instrument! Why cheap out on the most important thing. I listened to a few demos and of course Norah Jones uses it and she has the voice of an angel so I went for it. Every venue I play, the sound engineer says that it's the clearest most natural sounding mic they've had in the place. I'm overly satisfied with the performance and highly recommend it to everyone!

I have previously owned a myriad of microphones: from the sm58, sm57, beta58 to the e965 and the e945, and I must say my favorite mics are the neumanns (kms 105 and 104) and the Shure ksm9. There is no despute the quality of this mic and the wonders it does to my voice. I cannot stress this enough. I thought this mic would be a little bright for my taste, but the highs are very controlled and tasteful. I sometimes don't even need eq for this mic. I don't know if it has to do with the phantom power it's being supplied with, but it feels almost as if this microphone has a brain of its own and understands the nooks and crannies of my voice. It's like I'm communicating with the mic and it seems to project my singing so beautifully. Singers, buy this mic and never look ...

Overall:After hearing my vocals in a studio over one my producer had, my wife was determined I should have one in my locker. With the help of zZounds payment plan she bought me one for fathers day this year. I love this microphone. Everything I had been searching for in a mic to bring the rich crisp articulate sound of my baritone lead vocals into a stage mix or on a recording is in this thing. I had thought I found it in my Telefunken M80 but I was wrong. The wife's already suggested I buy another one just in case anything happens to this one. If you can justify it's price tag I suggest buying one. You won't be disappointed! I will say this. The KSM 105 will make you learn proper mic technique real quick.
Over the years (ok, decades), I've used a lot of different mics in a lot of different settings. I've often been puzzled to find that something I'd written off as horrible actually worked well with a particular combination of music, room, and sound tech. Similarly, I find I can still occasionally struggle with rigs that really ought to work. Beta 58s are pretty predictable and road tough, but I find the built in "presence" boost, tight pattern, and proximity effect that many people love didn't work for me. Rather than crunchy trebles and biting mids, I much prefer the clarity that comes from the speedy tracking of transients that comes from condensor mics. For matching responses for a band full of vocalists, I eventually settled on a fleet of Shure Beta 87A mics, - ...

Rather than crunchy trebles and biting mids, I much prefer the clarity that comes from the speedy tracking of transients that comes from condensor mics. For matching responses for a band full of vocalists, I eventually settled on a fleet of Shure Beta 87A mics, - but for my personal use, my research pointed at the KMS 105. It was right when I got it and remains my mic of choice years later. My personal challenge is that my musical taste is very eclectic and my vocal dynamic range goes from loud and shrill to whisper quiet, and I sing a lot of harmony. As a result, I need the ability to back off or eat the mic with minimal change in tone. With the 105, I can move way back and yell a high note without shredding ear drums with naked trebles or subtly move anywhere I like close to the windscreen without falling on or off shelf of proximity effect bass boost. Relative to many other mics, the Neumann is colourless, but even so there is a warm (as opposed to biting) presence to the mids that really does sound like a Neumann. I have learned to like this bit of colour when I happen to notice it. In addition, I find the mic is solidly built and gives me a road tough feeling and confidence that continues after years of use. This is important to me because I once had a Sennheiser that changed its sound so drastically after some road use that it became too ugly sounding to use. The cons: I was sort of hoping that I could use the KMS 105 for recording. I guess I could, but the background hiss is louder than a real recording mic, and while it is much more sensitive than most stage mics, the need to limit feedback during live performance means that it is far less sensitive than a mic designed specifically for recording. If its all you've got, it will do better than many, but I generally use other mics for recording (unless I am tapping a feed off the board during a live performance). Also, while the KMS 105 is my personal ideal stage mic, this doesn't mean that everyone will like it. The tone is different from just about anything else you can try. It is very even, sensitive and accurate, but different. If you like an enhanced sound, and love working the warm ripeness of proximity effect, or the bite of edgy mids, you may feel like your bike's pedals are spinning but the chain fell off. Also the cardioid pattern extends much farther back than most stage mics. While this is perfect for my application where I want huge flexibility in working the mic, this does open you up to feedback. If your music and venues require a tighter pattern to minimize howls and screeches, you might be better off with a Shure 87A. It offers nice condenser-style capturing of transients for clarity without treble crunch, but a more coloured sound and a fair bunch of proximity effect. For some applications, I like my 87A better than my Neumann, and I really don't mind using a 58 for a raunch & roll gig. But come down to it, the 105 is my steed of choice.
As lead vocalist in our Classic Rock band, I replaced my Sennheiser E945 looking to get a slightly fuller sound. This mic is nothing short of OUTSTANDING! Just happened to have a Presonus tube pre amp in our studio. Put a Groove Tube 12AX7 in it and put it in front of the Presonus Studiolive Digital Mixer on our lead channel. Sound quality is exceptional. Great sales and support from live sound at the Willowbrook store in Houston.
Overall:The truth is, few of us are playing and singing in the league that justifies this purchase for live use. I'm not only talking about your prowess as a singer, but the PA systems you're likely to encounter. More often than not, I had to put this thing back in its pouch and reach for the 58 when I was gigging in clubs. Its sensitivity is a challenge for the average board operator/barrista. HOWEVER, if you have recording ambitions, this is your entry into he world of high end studio condensers. I don't know why they market this as a "live" mic only. It's clear, breathy, open, articulate, fully rounded and very very pretty sounding. It has been my secret sauce for acoustic guitar, as well. Big diaphragm condenser on the body, this thing angled away from that and ... MoreOverall:The truth is, few of us are playing and singing in the league that justifies this purchase for live use.

It's clear, breathy, open, articulate, fully rounded and very very pretty sounding. It has been my secret sauce for acoustic guitar, as well. Big diaphragm condenser on the body, this thing angled away from that and pointed at the 12th fret (with the basket removed, if you believe in voodoo), BAM, crystal clear, never harsh, highs for your acoustic guitar tracks. Another category in which a 99$ unfortunately kicks this thing's butt is handling noise. It's just too darn sensitive! But that's a good thing, if you know what you’re getting yourself into. The pop filter tries to do its thing without any foam, and I'm sad to report that the plosives win. Again, a dynamic that costs a 6th of this will prevail in the battle of the P's. I would recommend this for jazz people, singer-songwriters and, as mentioned, for recording. For your average bar busker, it's total overkill. But you knew that when you read the price tag.
Mediocre mic, the first and last Neumann mic I will buy. To start with there is a grounding hum problem with this, none of my other mics have this problem. I sent it back to Sennheiser, which costs me shipping and insurance in the $30 range, it came back 3 weeks later still having the same problem, which is a persistent hum when the lower body of mic is touched, not loud, but I can hear it in the recording, and again none of my other mics have this problem, I am using Mogami cable. Now onto the sound, it is nothing special, not an open sounding mic like my Audio Technica AE5400, a better mic for much cheaper I might add, the KMS 105 has no switch selection for bass cut or attenuation, so for $750 it is overpriced and under engineered.
I am an actively gigging musician. I primarily perform at smaller venues playing acoustic guitar / singer-songwriter and acoustic covers. I recently purchased this microphone for the sake of upgrading my live gear - (the microphone that I had been using was a Blue en-CORE 200 which is a pretty respectable handheld supercardioid condenser mic.) After doing the research and reading tons of reviews relating to cardioid condenser microphones I went ahead and spent the extra money for this microphone. All and all it exceeded my expectations - as I am consistently blown away with the warm open detailed clarity - this effect was even evident through my Soundcraft Signature 10 board monitored by a pair of Alto powered speakers. I had been looking for a studio quality sound ... MoreI am an actively gigging musician. I primarily perform at smaller venues playing acoustic guitar / singer-songwriter and acoustic covers.
