NEUMANN KM 184's

The Neumann KM 184 is a universal microphone for studio and stage applications. Its transparent sound makes the KM 184 a superb microphone for acoustic instruments, such as piano, percussion, drums, acoustic guitar, upright bass, violin, cello, woodwinds, and brass. The KM 184 can be used for soloists as well as ensembles.

It is a fixed cardioid condenser microphone that requires 48 Volt phantom power 

At £400 they are super value. Similar to the original KM84 but at about 20% of the price.
