Hydra adapter KM180 series
Adapter ring to use Neumann KM180 series capsules on a Triton Audio Hydra microphone amplifier.
All adapters feature a machined body with tight tolerances, crafted from durable brass and finished with a high quality nickel plating.
Design
Hydra is designed as a fully modular concept, offering maximum flexibility. It supports a wide variety of condenser microphone capsules through easily interchangeable adapter rings. Effortlessly switch between your favorite (vintage) capsules.
Microphone capsule compatibility
- Neumann KM 183 omni capsule
- Neumann KM 184 cardioid capsule
- Neumann KM 185 hypercardioid capsule
Although the KM180 series was not originally conceived as a modular microphone system, its capsules can be carefully detached and used with the Hydra microphone amplifier. The capsules’ natural high-frequency lift complements the Hydra Tube beautifully. This combination delivers a noticeable sonic upgrade over the standard KM180 body.
* Our purchase price is for an adapter only. The microphone assemblies shown on this page are for illustrative purposes only.
