Our M84 microphone is a faithful version of the original vintage model, we want to have a precision circuit coupled to a high-quality output transformer able to operate the microphone in an optimal condition like the original model.
We have also selected top-quality components to make this possible, such as hand selected 2N3819 FET, tantalum capacitors, teflon feedhroughs for high impedance part, and custom double sided PCB!
With your M&M M84 kit version, a premium aluminum case for storing your microphone will be provided in single and in stereo pair!

Ich habe Mic&Mod über eine Facebook-Werbung gefunden, weil ich schon lange nach einem KM84-Klon zum Bauen gesucht habe. Dieser hier ist perfekt, er klingt genauso gut wie ein Paar Original-KM184, die mir ein Freund geliehen hat.
We're really not in the same league as my old Rode NT5s with these KM84 clones. The sound is precise and fits perfectly into the mix. No need for equalization. I use it on upright piano and acoustic guitar takes with incredible results. I discovered mic&mod recently, and I think I'll be taking a lot more of their micro in the future, perfect!
