studio subwoofer

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.

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.

The ultra-low frequency range (sub-bass) is always a major challenge for conventional 2-way monitors. Discover the low-frequency extension solution with Neumann subwoofers and experience the difference firsthand at Hoàng Bảo Khoa’s studio demo facilities.
