Neumann KH 120 A - Active Studio Monitor Speaker - Single

The Neumann KH 120 A is an incredibly detailed and accurate 5-inch powered monitor.  Perfect for tracking, mixing, and mastering in music, broadcast, project, and post-production studios. The KH 120 A studio monitor is designed for use as a near-field loudspeaker or as a rear loudspeaker in larger multi-channel systems.

The KH 120 A represents the latest in acoustic and electronic simulation and measurement technologies to ensure the most accurate sound reproduction possible. It has a Mathematically Modelled Dispersion waveguide (MMD (TM), flexible acoustical controls, analog class-AB amplifiers, a large headroom analog input, and an extensive mounting hardware range. All of this provides the user with maximum versatility over a wide variety of acoustic conditions, source equipment, and physical locations.

FEATURES

• Powerful titanium fabric dome - Low-distortion high-frequency reproduction

• Elliptical Mathematically Modelled Dispersion™

• (MMD™) 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 aluminium 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

• New 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 the poor quality mains supply

• Separate woofer and tweeter electronic peak limiters and thermal-protection circuitry - High reliability
