The KK 15 introduces a supercardioid pickup pattern to the MCM system, complementing the existing cardioid KK 14 and omnidirectional KK 13 capsules. Thanks to its tight polar pattern, the KK 15 offers superior separation and a more direct sound, making it particularly well suited to louder stages, crowded environments, and situations where maximum gain before feedback is essential.
Built around Neumann’s advanced layered capsule design, the KK 15 overcomes limitations traditionally associated with electret capsules. The result is outstanding clarity, excellent unit-to-unit consistency, and a natural tonal character that integrates seamlessly with existing MCM systems.
The KK 15 supercardioid capsule has the same road-ready construction with titanium housing as the KK 13 omnidirectional and KK 14 cardioid options. All three capsules also share a precise, carefully balanced response typically associated with Neumann microphones. This allows engineers to easily combine different pickup patterns within the same stage setup while maintaining a coherent overall sound.
