Overview

5.25" 2-Way Active Nearfield Studio Monitor Speaker

The KH 120 A 5.25" 2-Way Active Nearfield Studio Monitor Speaker packs Neumann's decades of experience in professional audio into a compact design that's ideal for use as a main nearfield monitor, or as a rear monitor in larger systems. The speaker features a 5.25" composite sandwich cone woofer and a 1" titanium fabric dome tweeter to provide clear, natural audio with a wide frequency response. Large ports on the cabinet help to extend bass response, while an elliptical MMD waveguide on the tweeter provides a wide sweet spot.

The cabinet is made from durable painted aluminum. It has non-parallel walls to reduce internal standing waves and a single-piece front panel for reduced diffraction and smoother frequency response. A robust metal grille protects the speaker elements from damage. The cabinet is also magnetically shielded for safe use near video monitors and other electronics.

The speaker has an XLR input for wide compatibility with professional audio systems and devices. Acoustic controls let you adjust bass, low-mid, and treble frequencies, allowing you to modify the speaker's performance to match your environment. Powerful analog amplifiers provide a combined peak power of 180W to provide a strong performance with ample headroom and excellent transient response. The speaker has integrated mounting points for versatile installation. It also features a universal power supply for convenient international use.

Features

• Compact Design

The speaker's compact design is ideal for use as a primary nearfield monitor or as a rear monitor in larger systems

• Premium Drivers

A 5.25" composite sandwich cone woofer and a 1" titanium fabric dome tweeter provide clear, natural audio with a wide frequency response. Separate electronic peak limiters and thermal protection circuitry are built-in

• Bass Ports

A pair of large ports on the front of the cabinet help to extend low frequency response and reduce bass compression

• Elliptical Waveguide

The elliptical mathematically modeled dispersion (MMD) waveguide around the tweeter provides a smooth off-axis response, providing a wide horizontal dispersion and narrow vertical dispersion to create a wide sweet spot while reducing reflections

• Aluminum Cabinet

The painted aluminum cabinet minimized resonances and offers excellent heat dissipation for a long lifespan. The cabinet has non-parallel walls to minimize internal standing waves and a single-piece front panel with no discontinuities to reduce diffraction and offer a smooth frequency response

• Metal Grille

A robust metal grille protects the speaker elements from damage

• Magnetically Shielded

The speaker is magnetically shielded for safe use near video monitors and other electronics

• Standard Input

The standard XLR input offers wide compatibility with professional audio systems and devices

• Acoustic Controls

4-way acoustic controls let you adjust bass, low-mid, and treble frequencies, allowing you to modify the speaker's performance to match your environment

• Analog Amplifiers

Powerful analog amplifiers provide a combined peak power of 180W to provide a strong performance with ample headroom and excellent transient response

• Production Consistency

Each speaker is made to exacting specifications so that any KH 120 can be paired with another KH 120 with excellent results

• 2-Color Logo

The 2-color Neumann logo displays operation status and indicates activation of the internal protection system. The logo is also dimmable for low-light environments

• Input and Output Controls

Input gain and output level controls provide versatile interfacing with signal sources

• Ground-Lift Switch

A ground-lift switch allows you to eliminate hum caused by ground loops

• Mounting Options

The speaker has a pair of M8 mounting points on the rear panel. A number of other mounting accessories are available separately

• Universal Power

The universal switch-mode power supply allows convenient international use
