  • Supercardioid Polar Pattern Maximizes Rejection Of Off-Axis Room Noise
  • Titanium Housing Withstands Repeated Capsule Swaps In Installed Environments
  • Modular MCM Compatibility Lets Engineers Swap Patterns Without Replacing Full Mic
  • 154 dB Max SPL Handling Supports High-Headroom Live And Installed Applications
  • P48 Phantom Power Operation Integrates With Standard Professional Infrastructure
  • Low Self-Noise Design Suits Quiet Acoustic Environments And Broadcast Applications

The Neumann KK 15 is a supercardioid capsule head designed for the Neumann MCM modular condenser microphone system, giving engineers a focused pickup option for applications where rejection of off-axis sound is critical. Installed sound designers, broadcast engineers, and live production teams working with the MCM platform can reconfigure their microphone setups by swapping capsule heads rather than replacing entire mic assemblies, reducing both cost and setup time.

The supercardioid polar pattern makes the KK 15 well suited for podiums, choir lofts, theatrical stages, and broadcast lecterns where ambient noise rejection and gain-before-feedback matter. Its titanium housing stands up to repeated installation and removal while keeping the capsule's mass low. A maximum SPL rating of 154 dB and a self-noise floor of 24 dB-A place this capsule in territory normally reserved for dedicated high-end measurement and recording microphones, making it a serious tool for live reinforcement and installed audio where headroom and clarity are non-negotiable.

Operating on standard 48V phantom power and terminating via XLR 3-pin, the KK 15 integrates directly into existing professional infrastructure without adapters or specialty cabling. For integrators and engineers already invested in the Neumann MCM system, this capsule expands the system's flexibility without duplicating the preamp and powering infrastructure already in place.
