Reference loudspeaker for applications with high professional demands
Ideal for smaller studios, editing suites and surround setups in all music genres
Linear, pristine output with excellent impulse response and razor-sharp stereo imaging
Continuous improvement of all parameters of the predecessor model: extended bass range, higher monitoring levels with continued low distortion, better resolution, yet 800g lighter
Advanced Neumann DSP technology, as already used in the successful KH 750 and KH 80 models
Analog and digital connections (XLR and S/PDIF)
Compatible with MA 1 metering system: impulse and frequency response are adapted to the room
DSP linearizes the phase response, range and crossover frequency is better reproduced, impulse response is increased, and tolerances between individual speakers are minimized (+/-0.5dB)
Model with AES67 network connection also available
Clarity in perfection
The Neumann KH 120 II is a professional, DSP-controlled nearfield monitor with a 5.25" woofer and powerful 145+100W Class-D bi-amping power amplifier. Like all Neumann speakers, it is optimized for maximum signal integrity, even dispersion, and high sound pressure levels with the lowest possible distortion. Due to its high reliability and outstanding sound characteristics, the KH 120 II is a reference speaker in a compact format that can be used in a wide variety of application scenarios, and which impresses with musical clarity, linearity, and sonority far beyond its technical parameters.
In addition to all the technical improvements, the KH 120 II is compatible with the successful Neumann MA 1 system thanks to DSP: in a user-friendly measurement process, a preset is created which is stored directly by the computer on the individual loudspeakers. In this way, any room influencesin thefrequency and impulse ranges are eliminated effectively and with technical perfection. For optimal music and work experience.
Outstanding in sound and handling
The newly integrated Neumann DSP has made possible far-reaching sonic improvements that would not have been possible with purely analogue circuit technology. For example, it has been possible to implement a completely phase-linear crossover for clearer imaging of the high-mid range and even greater overall impulse fidelity. Differences between individual speakers are reduced to a minimum of +/-0.5dB, so that the already razor-sharp stereo image of the analogue KH 120 is enhanced to even greater precision.
At the same time, the frequency response has been extended downwards to 44Hz and the maximum possible sound pressure level has been further increased with lower distortion. Advanced protection functions against level peaks, overload and overheating are also DSP-monitored. Despite the additional electronics, the speaker is 800g lighter than its predecessor thanks to an efficient Class D power amplifier that uses a less elaborate heat sink.
This little monitors packs a punch. Just solid clarity from top to bottom. You will be a better mixer/producer once you spend some time with the Neumann KH120 II
