Neumann

collapse expand iconDescription

The Neumann KH 310 active studio monitor delivers exceptional performance and unparalleled quality for intensive studio work. This tri-amplified 3-way monitor utilizes powerful Class AB amplifiers to provide clean power to each driver. Featuring Neumann's Mathematically Modeled Dispersion (MMD) waveguide, the KH 310 produces an accurate stereo image in a variety of environments. For professional studios demanding the utmost accuracy, the KH 310 represents the pinnacle of acoustic simulation and measurement technologies.

MMD Waveguide Provides Panoramic Imaging

The KH 310 is Neumann's innovative MMD waveguide. Carefully optimized using complex algorithms, the MMD waveguide enables a wide horizontal dispersion of midrange and high frequencies up to 21 kHz for panoramic imaging across a broad listening area. The waveguide's design eliminates unwanted diffractions and reflections, resulting in a three-dimensional soundstage with pinpoint accuracy.

Tri-amplified System Delivers Pristine Power

The KH 310 utilizes three separate power amplifiers—one for each driver—to provide undistorted power with maximum headroom. The woofer amplifier delivers 150 watts, the midrange amplifier provides 70 watts and the tweeter amplifier outputs 70 watts. The tri-amplified design ensures each driver operates within its optimal frequency range for flawless performance even at high playback levels.

Flexible Controls and Connectivity

To integrate seamlessly into any studio environment, the KH 310 offers balanced XLR inputs. Convenient back panel controls allow adjustment of bass, low-mid and treble levels to compensate for room acoustics. Selectable input sensitivity enables the KH 310 to match a variety of signal levels from different sources. An extensive range of mounting accessories provides flexible placement options for any installation.

Built to Exacting Standards

Continuing Neumann's tradition of handcrafted excellence, the KH 310 is precision engineered in Germany to the most rigorous standards. The cabinet's curved edges and gently sloped baffle reduce diffraction for a smoother frequency response, while the rigid MDF construction minimizes unwanted vibrations. With unrivaled quality and performance, the Neumann KH 310 delivers the accuracy professionals demand.
