TheKH 120 II W AES67is based on the same concept as its acclaimed predecessor but completely re-engineered for improved performance in all parameters: deeper bass, higher SPL capability and even better resolution. Internal DSP power allows for phase linear crossovers and room adaptive alignment via Neumanns revolutionary MA 1 Automatic Alignment.

AES 67Model AUDIO OVER IP

TheKH 120II W AES67model variant offers integrated redundant AES67 audio network ports that are fully compliant with broadcast standards such as ST 2110, ST 2022-7 redundancy, and RAVENNA. At the same time, theKH 120 II WAES67 is compatible with DANTE-generated AES67 network streams.

EVEN BETTER

When Neumann released the KH 120 A in 2010, it was the beginning of an ongoing success story. Neumann monitoring has since become the reference of choice in countless studios around the world. TheKH 120 II Wfollows the same philosophy as its predecessor and, in fact, all Neumann studio monitors: highest linearity, lowest distortion, no coloration, and perfect adaptability to any acoustic environment. Thanks to improved performance in all parameters and a powerful DSP engine, theKH 120 II Wenables you to hear your tracks with even greater clarity and work more efficiently. Create mixes that translate optimally to all playback systems. With ease.

PERFECT SOUND WITH A SMALL FOOTPRINT

TheKH 120 II Whas an exceptionally linear frequency response from 44 Hz to 21 kHz (3 dB). Not only that: It also linearizes the phase response! Which translates to clear mids with astonishing transparency as well as extreme accuracy in the time domain: precise impulse reproduction and finely resolved reverbs. This is made possible by DSP controlled electronics which allow for sophisticated crossovers avoiding the phase distortion caused by analog filters. The internal DSP also realizes new standards in tonal consistency. TheKH 120 II Wis made to extremely low tolerances of no more than 0.5 dB! And you can hear it, too: Stereo imaging is razor-sharp.

TheKH 120 II Wis designed for nearfield applications with a recommended listening distance of 12 meters (36 ft.). It is thus ideally suited to smaller rooms such as home and project studios as well as mixing and editing suites or as a surround speaker in large multichannel applications. Thanks to its outstanding linearity in a portable format, theKH 120 II Wis also an excellent choice for creating a professional quality makeshift control room when working on location (e.g. orchestra/choir, live recording, film, broadcast).

READY FOR YOUR ROOM

Even the best loudspeaker only sounds as good as the acoustic environment allows. Neumanns Mathematically Modelled Dispersion(MMD) waveguide guarantees a wide sweet spot and minimizes desk reflections. But theKH 120 II Wgoes much further: Its internal DSP allows for room calibration via Neumanns revolutionary Automatic Monitor Alignment. MA1 (sold separately) makes sure your DSP powered monitors are optimally adapted to the character of your room and perfectly aligned for your listening position. Even in acoustically treated rooms, this results in a significant improvement.

Tonal compatibility with other KH line studio monitors makes it possible to use theKH 120 II Win mixed setups e.g. in immersive setups. For flexible connectivity theKH 120 II Wfeatures both analog and S/PDIF inputs.

ENERGY EFFICIENT

Neumann engineers took great care to develop a patent pending amplifier technology which combines superior audio performance with the energy efficiency of Class D. Although the power amplifiers of theKH 120 II Wdeliver up to 145W to the 5.25 woofer and 100 W to the 1 tweeter, they only consume 17W at idle. Auto-standby reduces power consumption to 0.3 W when theKH 120 II Whas not been used for a while, but can be deactivated.
