Excellent on acoustic instruments, such as piano, percussion, drums, acoustic guitar, upright bass, violin, cello, woodwinds, and brass. The KM184 was intended to be a replacement for the KM 84, but the two sound sufficiently different due to the rear capsule housing vents being significantly smaller.
Mic to line amp w / compression and re-amp. For microphones it uses discrete solid state HV-3 microphone preamplifier. For instruments it boasts a DI channel with "Twin Topology", vacuum tube or discrete FET solid state options. Try the "Speaker Soak" technology for guitar power amp inputs.
