Neumann KH 120 II DSP Powered Studio Monitor

The New Standard in Precision Monitoring

The Neumann KH 120 II is a professional 245W active studio monitor designed for the modern engineer who demands absolute honesty in their monitoring chain. Building on the legacy of its legendary predecessor, this DSP-powered workhorse is engineered for nearfield applications, making it the definitive choice for mixing engineers, producers, broadcasters, and location recording professionals who require reference-class sound in a compact footprint.

DSP-Powered Room Perfection
Forget about acoustic guesswork. The internal DSP engine allows the KH 120 II to integrate seamlessly with Neumann’s MA 1 Automatic Alignment system. This revolutionary technology adapts the monitor's response to your specific room’s character, effectively eliminating standing waves and unwanted resonances. The result is a perfectly calibrated listening position that ensures your mixes translate accurately to every playback system.

Razor-Sharp Imaging and Transparency
Precision is at the heart of the KH 120 II. Utilizing a Mathematically Modelled Dispersion (MMD™) waveguide, it provides a wide sweet spot while minimizing desk reflections. Because it features a linear phase response and extremely low component tolerances (±0.5 dB), the stereo imaging is incredibly sharp, allowing you to place instruments and reverbs in the soundstage with pinpoint accuracy.

Massive Headroom, Small Footprint
Don't let the size fool you. Driven by 245W of efficient Class D amplification, this monitor delivers a deep low-end down to 44 Hz and high SPL capability that defies its compact dimensions. Whether you are working in a tight broadcast van or a high-end project studio, you get uncompromised transparency and the headroom needed for demanding high-resolution sessions.

Broadcast-Ready AES67 Connectivity (Optional version)
This variant is purpose-built for high-end infrastructure, featuring redundant AES67 audio network ports that are fully compliant with broadcast standards like ST 2110 and ST 2022-7. It integrates seamlessly with RAVENNA and Dante®-generated AES67 streams, allowing you to route high-resolution audio over your existing network with zero compromise in signal integrity.
