Neumann KH 80 DSP 4" Active 2-Way Studio Monitor (Gray, Single)

Active 4" Nearfield Studio Monitor with DSP Control and Mathematically Modeled Dispersion Waveguide (Each) - Gray

Ultra-compact, DSP-controlled bi-amplified near-field monitor with exceptional power reserves

THE NUMBER 1 FOR 0 COMPROMISES

With its digital core, the KH 80 DSP enables filtering functions and room adjustment options, which brings reference level reproduction to any environment. Even with its compact design, it has extraordinary reserve capacity - as well as the classic strengths of the Neumann monitor philosophy: clearly defined dispersion angle, distortion-free design and sophisticated material selection.

THE PERFECT SOUND OF HIGHER MATHEMATICS AT WORK

The Neumann developers know every nuance, every angle and every wave reflection of the KH 80 DSP. It sounds so pure because they are directing every sound wave so precisely. The KH 80 DSP's design is based on computer simulations that calculate with a level of accuracy that no one other than Neumann does. The Mathematical Modeled Dispersion Waveguide (MMD) provides the studio series with a solid base for precise sound direction that remains unique. Maths has never sounded so good.

NEUMANN EVEN INCLUDES THE BIGGEST UNKNOWN FACTOR IN OUR CALCULATIONS: YOUR ROOM

It might be a project studio, an outside broadcast van, a corner at work or just a brick building: The room defines the sound. Surfaces and corners in the room cause interference, diffraction, reflection, and refraction: all are forms of distortion. For a really true sound, without acoustic-physical "accidents", you normally need expensive equipment plus plenty of time and expertise to align it correctly - or smart algorithms. An easy adjustment to the monitor position (free standing, small/medium/large desk) is possible via the rear "Acoustical Control" switch.

For even more precise adjustments we offer the following options:

• Automatic Monitor Alignment - Automatic room correction of stereo systems using the Neumann MA 1 measurement microphone (software for Mac/PC)
• Neumann.Control - Free iPad-App for setup, operation, and room correction of up to nine KH 80 DSP monitors via guided and/or manual alignment

A TOOL FOR EVERYONE WHO HAS PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS

Highest quality components, high-end protection systems and power reserves are what you would expect from this studio class product even under the most demanding circumstances. Its design makes the KH 80 DSP a versatile near-field monitor, which delivers professional-quality sound wherever you need it - in project and music studios, editing and broadcasting rooms or in outside broadcast vans. Some of our customers like it so much, they use the KH 80 DSP in their living rooms. Why not? After all, the KH 80 DSP delivers digital precision for a masterpiece of analog technology: your ears.

The KH 750 DSP subwoofer is the perfect complement to the KH 80 DSP.

HUNDREDS OF GOOD REASONS FROM THE NEUMANN PHILOSOPHY

The KH 80 DSP has also been developed true to the Neumann philosophy for monitor loudspeakers. Every component, every shape, every signal and every wave motion is a consequence of this philosophy. No form or component is there without reason. There are hundreds of tangible reasons built into the KH 80 DSP, which all stand for exceptionally pure and neutral sound. These include, for example, curvatures of the housing that reduce edge diffraction. Also included is the pistonic output of the bass driver which does not give rise to harmonic distortions, even with the highest sound peaks. Some of these reasons are obvious in the KH 80. Others Neumann prefers to keep to itself. But together, each can be heard - sound professionals in both large and small studios all around the world can testify to this.

ADVICE

This device supports Sennheiser Sound Control (SSC) based on TCP and IPv6.

The static IPv6 address of the device can be found using mDNS.

For more information on SSC, please refer to the Sennheiser website (for example here).

Please note: We do welcome the community of users implementing custom control solutions for KH monitors based on SSC. However we do not offer technical support on using the protocol and the customer support organization will not address issues with custom monitor control applications or side effects Neumann applications. Using the SSC protocol outside the Neumann applications is done at your own risk. Neumann does not warrant SSC functionality outside of the MA 1 - Automatic Monitor Alignment Application. Future firmware releases may implement a different control protocol than SSC.
