A little information taken from recordinghacks.com

'The KM 54 was a Cardioid pencil condenser microphone with a tube amplifier circuit. It was the second of Neumann’s “miniature microphone” series, following the omni KM83; the model name ‘KM’ stands for Kleine Mikrofon.

The tube in the KM 54 was a Telefunken AC 701, a subminiature triode also used in the M 49 and M 50, and several other models.

The capsule had a diaphragm made of nickel. It was extremely thin, at 0.7 microns. Neumann manufactured these diaphragms via galvanization — Neumann engineers coated a sheet of copper foil with nickel, then dissolved the copper away to leave behind a nickel film.'
