Neumann KH 120 II DSP｜5.25-inch Active Studio Monitor with DSP Engine

Linear Phase, Precise Reproduction: The Next-Generation Monitoring Standard for Professional Mixing

The Neumann KH 120 II DSP is Neumann's next-generation active studio monitor, featuring a powerful DSP digital signal processing engine. It is equipped with a 5.25-inch long-excursion composite sandwich woofer and a 1-inch titanium fabric dome tweeter, delivering an ultra-flat Frequency Response of 44Hz to 21kHz (±3dB). Its core advantage lies in achieving perfect linear phase response through digital processing, offering professional audio engineers unprecedented temporal precision and sound detail reproduction.

Compared to traditional analog studio monitors, the KH 120 II DSP completely resolves phase shift issues at the Crossover Frequency through its built-in DSP, ensuring all frequencies arrive at your ears simultaneously. This delivers exceptionally clear soundstage imaging and transient response. Its digitally controlled acoustic calibration capability, when paired with the optional MA 1 system, can precisely match any room's acoustic environment, ensuring consistent performance of your mixes across all playback systems.

Neumann KH 120 II DSP Core Technologies and Features

DSP Digital Signal Processing Engine: The core of the speaker, achieving linear phase response through high-precision internal calculations, completely eliminating phase distortion caused by traditional analog crossovers, and providing unparalleled clarity and transient reproduction.
High-Precision Driver Design: Equipped with a newly developed 5.25-inch long-excursion composite sandwich diaphragm woofer and a 1-inch titanium fabric dome tweeter, offering lower distortion and a wider Frequency Response.
MMD™ Mathematically Modeled Dispersion™ Waveguide Technology: Neumann's exclusive Mathematically Modeled Dispersion™ (MMD) waveguide technology is precisely calculated to provide a wide optimal listening position (Sweet Spot) and ensure smooth off-axis response, reducing coloration caused by desktop reflections.
Powerful Bi-Amplifier Design: Utilizes high-efficiency Class D amplifiers, providing ample power of 145W for the woofer and 100W for the tweeter, ensuring extremely low distortion and excellent dynamic performance even at high volumes.
Analog and Digital Dual Inputs: In addition to the standard XLR Analog Inputs, it is also equipped with an S/PDIF Digital Inputs, capable of receiving digital audio up to 24-bit/192kHz, offering a cleaner signal path option.
MA 1 Automatic Calibration Compatibility: Compatible with the optional Neumann MA 1 automatic monitor alignment system, which uses a measurement microphone and software to precisely analyze and correct your room's acoustics, achieving an optimized listening experience in any space.
High-Efficiency Energy-Saving Design: Features switchable automatic standby function, automatically entering low-power mode during prolonged periods of no signal input, meeting the eco-friendly and energy-saving demands of modern studios.

DSP Engine and Linear Phase

The KH 120 II's DSP engine is the cornerstone of its sound performance. It not only manages the Crossover Frequency and driver protection but, more critically, performs FIR filtering to correct phase, achieving true linear phase response.
This means all signals, from low to high frequencies, arrive at the listener simultaneously, greatly enhancing the sound's transient clarity, stereo image stability, and depth, allowing for more precise judgment of effects like reverb and delay.

Advanced Driver and Cabinet Technology

The 5.25-inch woofer features a composite sandwich diaphragm, combining lightness, high rigidity, and good damping properties. This effectively suppresses cone breakup distortion under high dynamics, providing a clean and fast low-frequency response.
The 1-inch titanium fabric tweeter delivers delicate, uncolored high-frequency extension. The robust aluminum cabinet and optimized bass reflex port design minimize cabinet resonance.

Flexible Connectivity and Acoustic Calibration

Offers balanced XLR Analog Inputs and S/PDIF coaxial Digital Inputs/Digital Outputs, facilitating connection to various professional audio interfaces. The RJ-45 network port is used for connecting the MA 1 calibration system.
The speaker's rear panel offers a wealth of manual acoustic control options, including EQ adjustments for low, low-mid, and high frequencies, allowing for preliminary environmental adaptation of the sound even without using the MA 1.
