Pair of small-diaphragm cardioid microphones, with the option of changing the capsules to different polar patterns; they come standard with a cardioid capsule. They are suitable for all types of instruments where a small diaphragm is required.

The KM 184 is the successor to the acclaimed KM 84, which has been used worldwide with great success since the 1970s.

Although the KM 184 has the same capsule as the KM 84, the microphone differs slightly in its frequency response. The KM 184 has a small boost around 9 kHz, a characteristic that was introduced with great success in the KM 140. The result is a tonal balance that is fresher and more lively compared to the KM 84, with its flat frequency response in that band. This difference was achieved with only a slight change in the capsule's rear porting.
