Neumann messed around with the original KM84i and added a top end boost that ruined it and it became the KM184.
They are poles apart as mics.
They did it with all the KM series.
They also did away with the pad.
The KM84 is slightly noisier than the KM184 but it sounds 100 times better.
The rode nt5 is not a bad mic for the price in the small condenser world.
DPAs and earthworks are great from the clinical point of view.
Pretty pricey, though.
