Description

Want a subwoofer that dives into the deepest lows with total precision? The Neumann KH 805 II 10" powered subwoofer with DSP pushes reference-grade bass into the deepest frequencies, delivering articulate response down to 16 Hz. The unit features a long-throw 10" driver engineered with ELFF technology for minimal distortion, even at high volume. Its DSP-managed stereo bass system integrates with the MA 1 alignment tool (sold separately) to optimize both frequency and phase for your room—an advantage for studio setups where precision matters. With digital and analog connections, this subwoofer fits into advanced monitoring rigs for mixing, mastering, or post-production. The cabinet design and onboard controls help users tune the unit for clean, impactful bass, protecting sound integrity in demanding acoustic spaces.

Neumann DSP-Managed Bass System Delivers Precision

Think of DSP as your behind-the-scenes engineer. Built-in DSP manages bass response with stereo and external bass management, supporting different routing modes from standard stereo to LFE. The MA 1 software (sold separately) aligns the system for both digital and analog monitors, optimizing phase and frequency for accuracy. This feature extends clean, powerful bass across the room, improving mix translation and reducing frequency masking. Engineers can trust the DSP system to maintain clarity and control during critical listening sessions.

Neumann ELFF Driver Extends Low-End Output

Big low end doesn’t have to mean muddy mixes. The long-throw 10" woofer uses ELFF technology for a linear force factor, which reduces distortion even at high SPL. Damping of breakup modes and a resonance-optimized basket keep output tight and controlled. The subwoofer reaches down to 16 Hz—twice the output of previous models—giving tracking rooms and mastering suites access to the lowest octaves without unwanted artifacts. This driver design helps users reveal detail in bass-heavy mixes.

Advanced Neumann Connectivity Simplifies Studio Integration

Modern studios demand flexible hookups and fast setup. Balanced XLR inputs and outputs, plus a 192 kHz digital BNC connection, support professional studio equipment and daisy-chaining for sub arrays. Eight-position phase control and output level adjustments allow users to tailor response for their acoustic space. The auto standby function and universal power supply add practical benefits, reducing energy use and supporting global deployment. Simple calibration switches make setup fast for engineers focused on workflow.

Neumann Cabinet Construction Protects Sound Integrity

A well-built cabinet makes all the difference in clarity. The subwoofer’s stiff wooden cabinet uses internal damping and rubber feet for acoustic isolation, minimizing resonance and standing waves. A robust grille shields the driver from impact, while the cabinet’s bass reflex system eliminates port noise for pure low-frequency reproduction. Durable paint and reinforced joints ensure the unit withstands heavy studio use, keeping the system sounding clean for years.

Engineer Experience With Neumann KH 805 II Subwoofer

Every studio deserves confidence in its low end. Audio professionals working in music, broadcast, or post-production can count on this subwoofer for accurate monitoring and extended low-end support. The DSP management and ELFF driver deliver clarity and headroom for mixing, while the cabinet design and controls support precise integration in any studio. Using this powered unit, engineers track, mix, and master with real confidence in their low-frequency detail.
