km88 neumann The KM88 sports two nickel-membrane capsules, back to back, three switchable patterns, and a processor enclosed in a slender 21mm Ø housing- all borrowed from its tube predecessor KM56..
km88vip The diaphragms in the KM56/KM88 capsule are made of 0.7-micron nickel — approximately 1/10 the thickness of typical (~6-micron) condenser capsule membranes. The initial design of this capsule used a relatively loose diaphragm tension, and was subject to damage from high SPLs.
km88 neumann The KM88 was a small-diaphragm multipattern FET condenser mic. A solid-state version of the KM56. Both mics, along with the stereo mics SM2 and SM23, used the same basic capsule design . KM 88 Capsule Assembly In the KM56 and KM88, a pair of small-diameter capsules were joined back-to-back with a gap between them.
