Neumann KH 120 A W

The Neumann KH-120 A W, available in metallic anthracite, is a compact studio monitor with highly precise results. This powerful bi-amplified studio monitor delivers superb impulse response and resolution. Driven with two class-AD amplifiers, it is used for near-field monitoring in mixing or as a rear loudspeaker for multi-channel surround systems in post-production studios.

Neumann KH 120 A W Key Features:

• Used professionally for near-field applications like music, broadcast and post-production studios
• An ideal blend of enormous power and high-precision sound conduction
• Delivers maximum signal fidelity and contoured transients across the frequency range
• Can be used to control spatial image, tonal depth and smaller details in the mix
• Features two thermally protected class-AB amplifiers for bi-amplification
• Produces precise dispersion and is alignable to the room
• Titanium fabric dome tweeter minimises non-linear (harmonic and intermodulation) distortion
• The elliptical Mathematically Modelled Dispersion (MMD) waveguide ensures smooth off-axis response
• Offers narrow vertical dispersion and a wide horizontal dispersion
• Consists of a dimmable Neumann logo low lighting situations
• Robust metal grilles protect the studio monitor against mechanical damage
• Large high-capacity flow-optimised bass reflex ports ensure a fast bass transient response

Professional Working Environment

This compact bi-amplified studio monitor has an exceptional bass depth and delivers superb impulse response. With a precise dispersion and maximum signal fidelity, it is aligned for professional near-field applications. This compact studio monitor can be used in music, broadcast, project and post-production studios for mixing, recording and mastering. Wide horizontal dispersion and narrow vertical dispersion optimise sound reproduction and reduce the negative effects of nearby reflections in most room configurations.

Produces High Precision

Made from metallic anthracite, the KH-120 has set high standards for precision. Creating a perfect blend of enormous power and high-precision sound conduction, this studio monitor results in distinctly contoured transients and an exceptional bass depth across a frequency response of 52 kHz – 21 kHz. It enables you to precisely control the spatial image, tonal depth, and other small details in the mix.

Ports and High Dynamics

The KH-120 is compatible with a digital switched-mode power supply and can retain a sound pressure of up to 111.1 dB. It provides enough energy for maximum dynamics, retention of high-resolution and neutral representation without any distortion. The bass can go down to an impressive 52 Hz and its optimised drivers deliver a clean sound at the lowest parts of the 50 Hz region. It does not require a supplementary subwoofer for a rich mix, and the powerful alloy fabric dome ensures lossless reproduction in the demanding treble range.

FAQs:

Is the Neumann KH-120 wall mountable?

The Neumann KH-120 cannot be mounted upon a wall, but a few different wall mounting products can be used for this studio monitor.

What is the woofer cone used for?

It has a woofer grille in the shape of a cone as the flat grilles tend to have a high-frequency ringing sound. The cone-shaped woofer grille minimises the resonances and the in-house modelled long-throw composite sandwich woofer cone brings low distortion at high sound levels.

Which power amplifiers are used in the KH-120?

It features two thermally protected class-AB amplifiers (80 W each) for best performance in the mid-to-high frequency region. It emanates a large amount of heat which is dissipated by the aluminium cabinet, acting as a heatsink.

What power supply is used?

The studio monitor uses a universal switched-mode power supply and thus, can be taken anywhere in the world without the need for step-up or step-down transformers. This type of power supply converts the input voltage to a stable DC supply and thus, is more robust than other main supplies.

Is there a transformer-balanced input stage in the KH-120?

The KH-120 A G UK does not have a transformer-balanced input stage, but the electronically-balanced inputs are very robust to electrical noise. It works best when used in a combination with the ground lift switch.
