Double Gold for Neumann
This year, two products of Neumann have been distinguished by the Outstanding Technical Achievement TEC Award at the NAMM Show in Anaheim, USA:
One is the large-diaphragm microphone TLM 102, which has quickly succeeded in establishing a new entry-level class for Neumann studio microphones, making professional Neumann quality accessible to new groups of users. The other prize-winner is the KMS 104 plus, a model variant in the Neumann stage microphone series that is especially optimized for female voices.
The entire Neumann team in Berlin is particularly pleased to have received this coveted award twice – in both the studio and stage areas. With models in the KMS series having already been honored by the TEC in the years 2000 and 2007, Neumann has now also achieved the status of acting as a reference for wired stage microphones in the realm of vocal microphones. These two TEC Awards mean that Neumann has now received the award a total of thirteen times, and is thus once more leading the way in the audio industry.

KMS 104 (plus) / KMS 105 - Studio quality on stage
The quality of studio condenser capsules in a sturdy housing suitable for the stage. Pop, wind and handling noises are eliminated using innovative acoustic and/or electronic filters. The low self-noise, clearly defined directional characteristic, and excellent feedback resistance and speech intelligibility make the series ideal, e.g. for in-ear monitoring applications. The KMS 104 plus has been especially optimized for the requirements of female voices in the rock and pop field.
