neumann KM4?? anyone heard of these?
« on: July 25, 2006, 11:23:37 PM »
hey all-
I patched out of a set of these at bruce hornsby on 7/14 in portland  ;D
although after a google search, I found out exactly nothing about them. the person who I patched out said they were extremely rare and not made anymore. they were with active cables if I recall correctly and they went straight into a modded d8. any ideas on pickup pattern or other info.

the tapes sound nice, but there is a weaksause level drop for a few songs in the second set, probably user error.

Seriously, the band makes the music. Tapers just point mics in the right direction and hit "record".

That's good to hear!  The last patcher I had complained about my AKGs, fluffed schoeps for about 15 minutes, stayed patched in, and farted on me all night long.

Um, in my room, one seam is a little off and I stare at it constantly. It's, like, destroying me.

The MK4 is a capsule from Schoeps. Very popular.

The closest thing I can thing of from Neumann that may be similar is the KM140 with active cables.

might be the KMF 4 from the early 1980's?
