Introducing the KH 120 II powered monitor with dozens of sophisticated improvements. Neumann KH 120 acclaimed studio monitor is taken to a new level with deeper bass, higher resolution, and DSP power.
“It is part of the Neumann philosophy to never be satisfied with what has been developed so far,” said Portfolio Manager Stephan Mauer, “That is why we continue to develop, optimize, and make things even more perfect.”
Neumann KH120II Powered Studio Monitor Features
- High-precision drivers, Mathematically Modelled Dispersion™ (MMD™) waveguide
- Linear frequency response 44 Hz … 21 kHz (±3 dB)
- Linear phase response 120 Hz … 16 kHz (±45°) with latency <2.6 ms
- DSP inside allows for room adaptive alignment via Neumann’s MA 1
- Razor sharp imaging due to extremely low tolerances (±0.5 dB)
- May be combined with other KH line speakers in immersive or surround setups
- Analog (XLR) and S/PDIF (RCA) connectivity, optionally with AES67
One major improvement is DSP driven electronics, which allows for phase linear crossovers and Automatic Monitor Alignment via Neumann’s revolutionary MA 1. All acoustic parameters have been improved as well. The new version comes with even less distortion, deeper bass, higher max. SPL and an even better resolution. The redesigned cabinet is now made from MDF, which is a more sustainable material with even better rigidity than the aluminum used previously. The woofer features a completely new design. The Mathematically Modeled Dispersion (MMD™) waveguide was adopted to the new cabinet design. And there are dozens of additional improvements, not to mention the patent-pending amplifier technology that allows for superior audio performance with the energy efficiency of Class D. The new series also includes AES67 options and is available in anthracite and white.
The KH 120 II is a powerful update to an application that has seen strong growth over the last years: Nearfield monitoring is key not only for broadcast, OB vans, and project or recording studios, but also in streaming events and live recordings where audio experts need to get the best out of ever-changing work environments. The KH 120 II is a worthy successor to the venerable KH 120 A. Combined with the potential of MA 1, the new KH 120 II is ready to guard perfection for the next generation.
KH 120 II: Even Better
When Neumann released the KH 120 A in 2010, it was the beginning of an ongoing success story. Neumann monitoring has since become the reference of choice in countless studios around the world. The KH 120 II follows the same philosophy as its predecessor and, in fact, all Neumann studio monitors: highest linearity, lowest distortion, no coloration, and perfect adaptability to any acoustic environment. Thanks to improved performance in all parameters and a powerful DSP engine, the KH 120 II enables you to hear your tracks with even greater clarity and work more efficiently. Create mixes that translate optimally to all playback systems. With ease.
