KK 120, Nickel <b>Capsule Head</b>
KK... capsule heads are part of the variable miniature microphone system. Together with the KM D (nx) or KM A (nx) output stages, the KK... capsule heads form a complete microphone. KK 184 (nx) + KM D (nx) = KM 184 D (nx) or KK 184 (nx) + KM A (nx) = KM 184 A (nx).

KK 120 is a pressure gradient transducer with figure-8 characteristic, side-fire, realized with a single diaphragm. The diaphragm diameter is just 16 mm. All sound field components reach the diaphragm directly. This results in identical frequency response curves and output levels at 0° and 180° sound incidence.

Corresponding accessories allow combining the KK 120 with other active capsules or microphones to obtain an MS-Stereo setup.
