The Neumann 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 Modeled 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 the maximum versatility over a wide variety of acoustic conditions, source equipment, and physical locations.

Already an award-winner, the KH 120 is perfect for tracking, mixing and mastering in music, broadcast, project and post-production studios.

Neumann KH 120 Active Nearfield Studio Monitor Features:

Powerful titanium fabric dome offers low-distortion high-frequency reproduction
Elliptical Mathematically Modelled Dispersion (MMD) waveguide provides smoother off-axis response and is more forgiving of diverse acoustical environments
Composite sandwich cone provides damping of break-up modes
Long throw bass driver for low distortion 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 reduce bass compression and make it easier to mount in tight spaces, such as OB vans
Compact aluminum cabinet (magnetically shielded) minimizes resonances, has better heat dissipation for long life
Wide horizontal dispersion gives you freedom of movement across the mixing console
Narrow vertical dispersion reduces reflections off the mixing console
One-piece front panel with no discontinuities for reduced diffraction and smoother frequency response
Powerful analog amplifiers with large headroom and 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 offer more control in diverse acoustic environments
Wide-range input gain and output level controls provide easier interfacing with signal sources
New mounting hardware options offer more flexibility in mounting cabinets in more diverse locations
Display dimmer for low-lighting level conditions or behind the screen applications
Ground lift reduces noise in electrically noisy environments and overcomes ground loops
Universal switched-mode power supply (100 … 240 V) works in any country and handles poor-quality mains supply
Separate woofer and tweeter electronic peak limiters and thermal-protection circuitry for high reliability
