Frequently Asked Questions
The M 300 offers a slightly more detailed and open sound, with lower self-noise, but the KM 184 might be a touch more forgiving on less-than-perfect vocal performances.
While it handles 135 dB SPL, its smaller diaphragm might lack the 'punch' of a large-diaphragm mic for aggressive drum sounds; it’s better suited for more nuanced overhead applications.
A clean, transparent preamp is ideal to preserve the mic’s natural sound – think something with low distortion and a neutral frequency response to avoid coloring the signal.
