Neumann KH 80 Active DSP Studio Monitor
Active 2-way Mid/Near-field Monitor
The KH 80 DSP is designed for use as a near-field monitor, as a front loudspeaker in small multi-channel systems, or as a rear loudspeaker in a compact multi-channel systems. It can be used in project and music studios, broadcast centers, OB vans, and post production studios for tracking, mixing, and mastering. It is also well suited for use in domestic environments.
The Neumann KH 80 is a dense Active Studio Monitor intended and constructed for use as a near or rear field loudspeaker as part of a multi-channel setup. The speaker enjoys expansive headroom analogue input, versatile acoustical analogue control and a wide-ranging mounting range. The Neumann KH 80 is one of the most commanding and flexible Active Studio Monitors available to industry professionals.
The KH 80’s Elliptical Mathematically Modelled Dispersion (MMD) waveguide technology provides a much slicker and circular off-axis response, permitting its use in a far more varied array of acoustic settings. Combined with the KH 80’s modern hardware mounting options, adaptability and variety are clearly situated front and centre in Neumann’s designs.
The class AB amplifiers in the KH 80, its huge analogue headroom and long throw bass driver all total up to a hardy, reliable active studio monitor well suited in all applications for broadcast, music, post-production and project studio applications. Its tough manufacturing and build-quality which includes a titanium fabric dome, metal grille and compact aluminium cabinet lend mean that it is equally at home in a studio environment or outside in a broadcast truck.
The Neumann KH 80 offers all the power and acoustic quality professionals have come to expect from a high-quality near-field monitor, as well as the additional versatility they might not.
New in-house simulated drivers with metal grilles
- Latest modeling techniques used to minimize non-linear (harmonic and intermodulation) distortion Driver cones protected from accidental physical damage by robust metal grilles
Powerful alloy fabric tweeter dome
- Low-distortion high-frequency reproduction
Elliptical Mathematically Modeled Dispersion™ (MMD™) waveguide, with wide horizontal and narrow vertical dispersion
- Smoother off-axis response, More forgiving of diverse acoustical environments Freedom of movement across the mixing console Reduces reflections off the mixing console
Long throw composite sandwich cone bass driver with Extremely Linear Force Factor™ (ELFF™)
- Damping of break-up modes and low distortion at high sound levels Linear pistonic motor gives a very low harmonic distortion even at high excursions
Two-color + dimmable Neumann logo
- Displays operation status and activation of the extensive protection system
- Dimmable for low lighting level conditions or behind the screen applications
Compact polycarbonate composite cabinet
- No standing wave resonances,
- Fastest bass transient response,
- Reduced intermodulation distortion in midrange
Large front panel ports
- Reduced bass compression and easier to mount in tight spaces such as OB vans and small studios
One-piece front panel with no discontinuities
- Reduced diffraction and smoother frequency response
Powerful highly efficient amplifiers with large headroom
- Improved transient response
- Low heat dissipation
Independent thermo limiters for woofer and tweeter to protect the voice coils and power amplifiers. Woofer soft clip and excursion limiters
- Fast acting, high reliability and allows extraction of the maximum performance from the system
- Production consistency due to individual alignment in final test
- Any one KH 80 DSP unit is “pair-matched” to any other KH 80 DSP unit
4-position low-mid acoustical control
- Fast acoustical set up in mobile applications
8 x Precision Alignment acoustical controls accessible via control network
- Accurate and flexible alignment of the loudspeaker in the room and within systems
Lipsync delay (0 … 70 ms)
- To align audio and video signals up to 1.75 frames at 50 Hz or 2.1 frames at 60 Hz
Time-of-flight delay (0 … 70 ms)
- To compensate for listening distance differences up to 24 m (79 ft)
Linear phase crossover, with bypass
- Flat phase response and can by bypassed to give a similar phase response to an analog loudspeaker
Wide range input gain and output level controls
- Easier interfacing with signal sources
Control network used standard Ethernet components
- No additional special equipment needed.Brings setup, alignment and operation functions via the Neuman.Control software
Completely symmetrical internal signal chain
- Minimizes noises caused by external electromagnetic interference
Double insulated electrical design
- Ground loops are impossible
Universal switched-mode power supply (100 … 240 V)
- One version works in any country and robust to poor quality mains supply
Extensive mounting hardware options
- More flexibility in mounting cabinets in more diverse locations and backwards compatibility with previous models
