  • Page 2 This is done with the help of the KM 100 F filter output stage, which can be used instead of the normal KM 100 output stage and has a slide switch permitting se- lection of an 80 Hz or 120 Hz cutoff frequency.

  • Page 4 The smallest of all solutions is embodied by the MF-AK table stand. The active capsule screws right onto the swiveling headpiece, is align- able in the horizontal and vertical planes, and connects to the KM 100 output stage via the permanently attached cable. The cable exits at the side or below, making it possible to run the cable through the table where it is hidden by the stand itself.

  • Page 6 Then effective pop screens or windscreens are indispensable. The WNS 100 windscreen is included with every micro- phone in the KM 100 series (KM 120: WNS 120). This is sufficient protection against light winds and popping, with minimal effect on frequency response, and that only in the very highest frequencies.

  • Page 8 TEREO PPLICATIONS he KM 100 system accessories make it possible to realize compact setups for all common stereo configurations. The accessories described below can simply be mounted to any stand, preferably with a shock- absorbing rubber pad. If necessary, the Z 26 mt shock mount can also be inserted to reduce body sound transmission even further.
