Microphones

Special

Here is a list of various microphones that have been developed for specific applications and only play a minor role in everyday studio work:

Neumann's KMS105 is a condenser microphone that was designed specifically for stage use. It is robustly built, and disruptive pop and handling noises are significantly minimized.
The Sennheiser MKH416 has been a fixture among shotgun microphones for 50 years. It's still regularly used in film and television today.
Neumann GFM132, Schoeps BLM03 Cg, and Shure Beta 91A are three boundary microphones that were developed for different purposes and therefore have different areas of application.
Echoschall is also the right place to go if you want to rent a USB microphone. We stock the Sennheiser MK4 digital, the best model in this range. It is suitable for fast, mobile use and for voice recordings (podcasts, etc.). It can be connected directly to iOS devices, Mac or Windows PCs. Like all Sennheiser microphones, the MK4 digital can also be purchased from Echoschall.

If you would like to rent a Neumann KU100 dummy head, please feel free to contact us. We will refer you to our partner company, which has a KU100 available for rent. A real alternative to the dummy head is the Schoeps KFM6 sphere microphone, which scores particularly well with loudspeaker reproduction and reproduces spatial depth in a remarkable way. A large, acoustically favorable room is required. It can also be used as a stereo field microphone for lifelike outdoor recordings.
The Sennheiser Ambeo VR Mic, on the other hand, is probably the easiest way to make 360° recordings.

For calibrating and measuring rooms, you can rent the Microtech Gefell MV225 P48 measurement microphone with MK221 capsule from us. For room calibration of the Neumann KH120-II studio monitor from our range, we offer the Neumann MA-1 Monitor Alignment System. This also includes a corresponding measurement microphone. In addition, the MA-1 can also be used to calibrate the Neumann KH80 DSP monitor and the Neumann KH750 subwoofer.
