The KK131 nx is a miniature marvel. It’s designed for permanent installations – think houses of worship, conference rooms, or broadcast studios – where you need a transparent, natural sound. It’s all about the quality of the capsule itself, delivering Neumann's signature sonic clarity in a tiny package, but remember, you absolutely need the KM A preamp to use it.
