professional studio monitor

The Neumann KH 120 II can operate independently in many nearfield monitoring setups without requiring a subwoofer. With a frequency response of 44 Hz to 21 kHz (±3 dB), it covers a wide range of recording and mixing applications. However, adding a subwoofer such as the KH 750 DSP can extend low-frequency reproduction and provide more detailed monitoring of bass and sub-bass content.

The Neumann MA 1 is an automatic monitor alignment system that combines an individually calibrated measurement microphone with software designed to analyze a room’s acoustic characteristics. Based on the measurement data, MA 1 calculates correction parameters for frequency response, time of arrival and level, helping studio monitors deliver more accurate sound reproduction in the actual listening environment.

The Neumann KH 80 DSP is a compact two-way active studio monitor and the first model in Neumann's KH series to incorporate digital signal processing. Featuring a 4-inch woofer, precision-engineered drivers and advanced DSP correction, it delivers remarkable clarity, accurate stereo imaging and impressive bass performance, making it suitable for desktop monitoring, small studios and space-limited professional installations.

The Neumann KH 120 II is an updated version of the original KH 120 nearfield monitor, incorporating technologies developed for the KH 150. Featuring a two-way active design, integrated DSP and compatibility with Neumann's MA 1 room alignment system, the KH 120 II delivers accurate frequency response, low distortion and impressive bass performance in a compact enclosure.

The Neumann KH 150 is a two-way active monitor designed to fill the gap between the compact KH 120 and the larger three-way KH 310. Combining a 165mm bass/mid driver, 25mm tweeter, onboard DSP and integration with MA 1, the KH 150 delivers extended bandwidth, substantial output capability and precise monitoring from a relatively compact nearfield design.

Adding a subwoofer to a studio monitor system not only extends low-frequency reproduction but also reduces the load on the monitors, increases headroom, and reduces distortion. However, for the system to operate accurately, the subwoofer needs to be properly set up in terms of phase, level, and placement. Neumann explains the key factors that allow monitors and subwoofers to work together as a unified system in the studio.

Three-way studio monitors do more than simply add another driver. They provide greater control over the midrange, where much of the critical information in a mix is located. Dividing the low, mid, and high frequencies among dedicated drivers improves accuracy, reduces distortion, and enhances separation during monitoring.

Two monitors, one reference standard Neumann has just announced the KH 310 II and KH 350, two new-generation 3-way studio monitors that combine an acoustic platform developed over decades with powerful DSP technology. Both products are designed to deliver high performance, flexible integration into professional workflows, and the accuracy that has established Neumann’s position in professional recording studios around the world. The KH 310 II continues the development of one of the industry’s highly regarded studio monitor models, while the KH 350 introduces an entirely new full-range monitor option, focusing on powerful low-frequency reproduction for larger listening spaces and immersive mixing rooms.

Accurate sound is essential to a professional mix. Neumann studio monitors have long been a benchmark in leading recording studios worldwide. Discover the proprietary technology behind Neumann’s highly detailed and faithful sound reproduction at Hoang Bao Khoa.
