New Advanced Compact Monitor from Neumann Announced

Neumann KH 150 6.5-inch 2-way Powered Studio Monitor 

The Neumann KH 150 is a bi-amplified studio monitor with reference-grade performance that belies its compact size. This makes it ideal for both nearfield and midfield deployment in small-to-mid-sized control rooms. Neumann’s new 6.5-inch woofer, the result of over three years of intensive research and development, is integrated into a meticulously engineered 20-liter bass reflex cabinet, allowing this state-of-the-art monitor to achieve impressively deep and tight bass response down to 39Hz and a maximum SPL of 118dB; meanwhile, a specially designed 1-inch tweeter serves up crystalline clarity extending up to 21kHz. Powered, respectively, by 145 watts and 100 watts of energy-efficient Class D bi-amplification and assisted by Neumann’s Mathematically Modeled Dispersion (MMD) waveguide, these drivers deliver unerring accuracy over a broad sweet spot, while minimizing desk reflections.

The KH 150 offers both analogue and S/PDIF digital connectivity, with the rear panel hosting an XLR socket for the former, and an pair of RCA connectors providing both an input and output for the latter. A KH 150 AES67 version will also be available, equipped with redundant AES67 audio network ports that are fully compliant with broadcast standards such as ST 2110, ST 2022-7 redundancy, and RAVENNA. The KH 150 AES67 is also compatible with Dante-generated AES67 network streams.
