The KM 88 is a small-diaphragm microphone that lets the user choose between omnidirectional, cardioid and figure-8 pickup. Its circuit is based on FET electronics, which places it in the same family as the KM 86.
What sets it apart from the KM 86 is the capsule. The KM 88 uses the nickel capsules that were earlier fitted to the KM 56 tube microphone, so its capsule heritage comes from that larger tube model.
The product is listed in Neumann's historical range, meaning it is no longer a current model. The source gives no technical figures such as sensitivity, frequency range or connector details, so those are not stated here.
