The Neumann KK 13 is an omnidirectional capsule designed for the Miniature Clip Mic (MCM) system, delivering an exceptionally open and natural sound for close-miking acoustic instruments. Engineered in Germany, it represents a significant evolution of the electret microphone principle, overcoming traditional limitations to provide enhanced clarity, extended bass and mid-range response, and refined treble detail without proximity effect. The result is an accurate and elegant sonic character that remains consistent from the quietest nuances to powerful fortissimo passages.
Ideal for quiet stages, orchestral settings, and recording environments where feedback and isolation are not primary concerns, the KK 13 excels through its tonal transparency and high maximum SPL handling. Its innovative layered capsule construction allows each component to be optimised individually before being assembled by hand, ensuring every capsule sounds exactly the same. This unmatched consistency reduces the need for corrective EQ during soundchecks and provides reliable results across multiple setups.
Built into a lightweight yet durable titanium housing, the KK 13 is designed for long-term professional use. As part of the modular Neumann MCM system, it offers a low cost of ownership, easy replacement, and broad compatibility with leading wireless systems and wired configurations. With discreet mounting options and road-tough reliability, the KK 13 is a refined solution for musicians and engineers who demand precision, longevity, and uncompromising sound quality.
