The Neumann KH 120 II builds on the success of its predecessor a whole list of improvements: more power, an onboard DSP engine, deeper bass response, higher SPL capability and even better resolution. The internal DSP power facilitates linear-phase crossovers and room-adaptive alignment with Neumann's groundbreaking MA 1 Automatic Alignment system. This monitor comes in anthracite (gray); a white version is also available.
As you'd expect from a Neumann product, the KH 120 II is designed for flawless monitoring accuracy and impeccable build quality.
Mathematically Modeled Dispersion
The magnetically shielded aluminum cabinet features a 5.25-inch woofer and a 1-inch titanium fabric dome tweeter. A 145-watt amplifier drives the woofer, while the tweeter gets its power from a 100-watt amplifier. The front soundboard features the Neumann MMD (Mathematically Modeled Dispersion) waveguide, which contributes to a wide sweet spot and smooth off-axis response. In a stereo configuration, the KH 120 II delivers a rock-solid stereo image with an ample sense of depth.
A monitor worthy of the Neumann badge
The KH 120 II exhibits smooth, natural frequency response and delivers bass surprisingly well for its small size. Its midrange presentation is detailed and revealing, not overly forward or recessive. The KH 120 II is equipped with a full range of control settings for integration into a variety of acoustic environments. The opinion of our audio enginears? With this monitor speaker, you can make critical decisions about EQ and mix placement with confidence. The KH 120 II is a true analytical reference monitor.
