Neumann KH-120 Active Studio Monitor

The KH-120 is the first product in the line of Neumann Studio Monitors. Neumann is well-known in the audio industry for its high quality microphones in studios, broadcast, and on stage. Neumann has also been a pioneer in the audio industry for over 80 years with a long history of world-class products. These products have kept Neumann on the cutting edge of technology - from mixing consoles and disc cutting lathes, to more recent innovations in digital technology with the Solution-D system.

The KH-120 studio monitor is designed for use as a near-field loudspeaker or as a rear loudspeaker in larger multi-channel systems. The KH-120 represents the quality musicians and engineers expect in acoustic and electronic simulation and measurement technologies. It has a Mathematically Modeled Dispersion waveguide, flexible acoustical controls, analog class-AB amplifiers, various input formats and an extensive mounting hardware range. All of this provides the user with the maximum versatility over a wide variety of acoustic conditions, source equipment, and physical locations. A subwoofer, such as the Neumann KH-810, with its 7.1 High Definition Bass Manager, can be added to deepen the low-frequency response to 18 Hz and increase the system's maximum output level. The KH-120 is perfect for tracking, mixing and mastering in music, broadcast, project and post-production studios.

Features:

- Powerful titanium fabric dome: Low-distortion high-frequency reproduction
- Elliptical Mathematically Modeled Dispersion waveguide: Smoother off-axis response, More forgiving of diverse acoustical environments
- Composite sandwich cone: Damping of break-up modes
- Long throw bass driver: Low distortions at high sound levels
- Two-color + dimmable Neumann logo: Displays operation status and activation of the extensive protection system
- Robust metal grille: Protects against mechanical damage
- Large front panel ports: Reduced bass compression and easier to mount in tight spaces such as OB vans
- Compact aluminum cabinet (magnetically shielded): Minimizes resonances, better heat dissipation, long life
- Wide horizontal dispersion: Freedom of movement across the mixing console
- Narrow vertical dispersion: Reduces reflections off the mixing console
- One-piece front panel with no discontinuities: Reduced diffraction and smoother frequency response
- Powerful analog amplifiers with large headroom: Improved transient response
- Production consistency: Any KH 120 is "pair-matched" to any other KH 120
- 4-position bass, low-mid and treble acoustical controls: More control in diverse acoustical environments
- Wide range input gain and output level controls: Easier interfacing with signal sources
- Mounting hardware options: More flexibility in mounting cabinets in more diverse locations
- Display dimmer: For low lighting level conditions or behind the screen applications
- Ground lift: Reduced noise in electrically noisy environments and over-comes ground loops
- Universal switched-mode power supply (100...240 V): One version works in any country and robust to poor quality mains supply
- Separate woofer and tweeter electronic peak limiters and thermal-protection circuitry: High reliability
