The Neumann Model KU 100
binaural microphone

The KU 100 is a human head replica with microphones inside of the ears. It is used for binaural pick-up to create the most realistic stereo recordings. This third-generation design is loudspeaker compatible, and accur­ately repro­duces ambient acoustics with information about distance, direction, and perspective. It offers exceptional speech intelli­gibility in noisy environments. Applications for the KU 100 include radio drama, special effects for film, out­door nature recordings, acoustic evaluation, and scientific research. The KU 100 package includes the head, IC 5 (10 meter) extension cable, AC 20 adapter cable, internal bat­tery supply, external AC power supply unit and aluminum carrying case. The microphone can be powered by external phantom power or by an internal battery supply. Thus, re­mote location recording is possible with only a minimum of extra accessories.
