Precise Bass, Unmatched Precision
Neumann's latest subwoofers, the KH 805 II, KH 810 II, KH 870 II, KH810IIAES67, and KH 870 II AES67, are designed to deliver exceptional bass performance for stereo, surround, and immersive audio setups. With their advanced DSP technology, these subwoofers offer unparalleled precision, power, and flexibility, ensuring that every note and beat is reproduced with crystal-clear accuracy.
A Scalable Solution for Every Studio
Yasmine Riechers, Neumann's CEO, emphasizes the importance of reliable monitoring in today's audio landscape. "With immersive audio gaining traction across various industries, having scalable monitoring solutions is crucial. Our new KH subwoofers cater to studios of all sizes and formats, seamlessly integrating with both analog and DSP-equipped KH monitors."
More Power, More Options
The KH 805 II builds upon the success of the KH750DSP, offering a significant boost in output for enhanced headroom and low-end authority. It's the perfect companion for stereo setups using Neumann's KH 120 II, KH 150, or KH 310 monitors. Meanwhile, the KH 810 II takes it up a notch with multichannel bass management for systems up to 7.1.4, making it an ideal choice for immersive audio production. It supports bass management for up to eleven studio monitors, ensuring precise control over your audio landscape.
At the pinnacle of the range, the KH870II doubles the output of the KH 810 II while maintaining identical multichannel capabilities. Tailored for large studios and demanding applications, it pairs beautifully with large-format monitors like the KH 420, delivering an immersive audio experience like no other.
Future-Proof Flexibility with AES67
The KH 810 II AES67 and KH 870 II AES67 are designed with the modern broadcast and networked audio environment in mind. These models seamlessly integrate into AES67-based workflows, supporting 12 AES67 input channels and full compliance with ST 2110, ST 2022-7 redundancy, RAVENNA®, NMOS, and DANTE®-generated streams. This future-proof flexibility ensures full system integration and seamless collaboration with other audio professionals.
DSP Power and MA 1 Integration
All the new KH subwoofers are equipped with Neumann's advanced DSP engine, enabling seamless system alignment via the MA 1 Automatic Monitor Alignment (sold separately). This powerful tool allows users to optimize their entire monitoring setup, including analog KH speakers, for optimal room acoustics and phase coherence. With a low-frequency extension down to 16 Hz, these subwoofers provide the clarity and control necessary for critical mixing and mastering decisions.
A Complete Subwoofer Family
With the addition of these five new models, Neumann now offers a comprehensive range of DSP-controlled subwoofers, catering to all monitoring needs from stereo to immersive audio. From the compact KH 750 DSP to the mighty KH 870 II, Neumann has you covered. These subwoofers, when paired with Neumann studio monitors, deliver reference-quality sound across the entire frequency spectrum, ensuring an accurate and immersive audio experience.
Stephan Mauer, Head of Product, highlights the advancements over previous models: "Our new subwoofers offer significantly reduced distortion and port noise, resulting in a more refined and accurate bass performance. They can be seamlessly integrated with both analog and DSP-controlled KH Line studio monitors, making them an excellent choice for upgrading existing stereo systems and expanding into immersive monitoring. Additionally, precise room alignment via MA 1 ensures an optimized listening experience, eliminating any guesswork in the low-end department."
