Neumann KH 150 W Two Way, DSP-Powered Nearfield Monitor

Hear the Truth. Mix with Confidence.

The Neumann KH 150 W is a high-performance, bi-amplified nearfield monitor designed to bridge the gap between compact monitors and large-scale studio systems. Engineered for those who refuse to compromise on bandwidth or power, it features a sophisticated DSP engine that ensures surgical accuracy and seamless room integration. Whether you are a mixing engineer handling complex sessions, a film composer requiring deep low-end, or a broadcast professional demanding absolute transparency, the KH 150 W provides the honest, uncoloured sound required to make confident decisions.

Deep Bass from a Compact Footprint
While its size is convenient for nearfield setups, the KH 150 W delivers the low-frequency authority of a much larger speaker. Thanks to a newly developed 6.5-inch high-precision woofer and a meticulously tuned 20-liter bass reflex cabinet, this monitor reaches down to 39 Hz. For producers of urban music, EDM, or cinematic scores, this means massive headroom and a physical low-end character that eliminates the guesswork in the sub-frequencies.

DSP-Driven Linear Phase Accuracy
The true genius of the KH 150 W lies in its internal DSP, which manages sophisticated digital crossovers to eliminate the phase distortion inherent in traditional analogue filters. This results in a linear phase response that produces razor-sharp stereo imaging and astonishing midrange transparency. You can hear every minute detail, from the subtle placement of a vocal to the fine resolution of low-volume reverb tails, with perfect time-domain accuracy.

Surgical Calibration with MA 1
No room is acoustically perfect, but the KH 150 W is designed to adapt. The internal DSP works in perfect harmony with the optional MA 1 Automatic Monitor Alignment system to calibrate the speaker specifically for your unique environment. By optimizing the amplitude and phase to match your listening position, it minimizes desk reflections and room-related coloration, ensuring that your mixes translate perfectly to any playback system.
