Neumann KH 120 II

The KH 120 II is designed for near-field applications with a recommended listening distance of 1 to 2 meters (3 to 6 feet). This makes it ideal for small rooms such as home studios and model studios, as well as mixing and editing rooms, or as a surround speaker in large multichannel applications. Thanks to its exceptional linearity in a portable format, the KH 120 II is also an excellent choice for creating a professional-quality improvised sound stage on location (e.g. orchestra/choir, live recording, film, broadcast).

Ready for your room
Even the best speaker can only sound as good as the acoustic environment allows. Neumann's MMD™ (Mathematically Modelled Dispersion™) waveguide ensures an ideal wide listening area and minimises reflections from the work surface. But the KH 120 II goes much further: its internal DSP allows room calibration with Neumann's revolutionary automatic monitor alignment. The MA 1 (sold separately) ensures that your active DSP monitors are optimally adapted to the character of your room and perfectly aligned to your listening position. Even in acoustically treated rooms, this results in a significant improvement.

Tonal compatibility with other KH series studio monitors allows the KH 120 II to be used in mixed systems, for example in immersive setups. For flexible connectivity, the KH 120 II has both analogue and S/PDIF inputs.

AES 67 - Audio over IP
In addition, the KH 120 II AES67 variant features redundant AES67 audio network ports that are fully compliant with broadcast standards such as ST 2110, ST 2022-7 redundancy and RAVENNA. At the same time, the KH 120 II AES67 is compatible with AES67 network streams generated by DANTE®.

Energy efficiency
Neumann engineers have worked diligently to develop a patent-pending amplifier technology that combines superior audio performance with Class D energy efficiency. Although the power amplifiers in the KH 120 II deliver up to 145 W to the 5.25" woofer and 100 W to the 1" tweeter, they consume only 17 W at idle. And the automatic standby feature, which can be switched off, reduces the power consumption to 0.3 W after a certain period of time without using the KH 120 II.
