Electret Technology Elevated to a New Level
The KK 14 captures the characteristic sound of acoustic instruments with precision and neutrality. It transcends previous limitations of the electret principle to deliver broader bass and midrange alongside assured elegance in the treble. With a maximum SPL of 153 dB, the KK 14 remains open to every detail - from the finest nuances to the peak dynamics of a powerful fortissimo.
Eight Components of Perfection
Neumann engineers reconsidered the manufacturing process for electret-based microphones. Neumann selected a multi-layer structure where each unit of the KK 14 is constructed and designed to deliver perfect results. Components are then hand-assembled in Germany, eliminating typical compromises and offering unparalleled acoustic properties. The titanium body reflects both the robustness of the design and the internal elegance of engineering excellence.
Tonal Consistency and All-Weather Resilience
The multi-layer design delivers an unprecedented level of tonal consistency - every capsule sounds exactly the same. This saves engineers time on basic EQ work and delivers consistent sound from first soundcheck. Built for years, not just a season. The modular design allows for easy spare parts replacement. Nine mounting clips enable reliable placement on any instrument while remaining safe for every surface. The system interfaces with all major wireless systems and includes cable options for 3.5mm jack, Lemo, 4-pin mini-XLR, MicroDot or hardwired connection.
