Neumann KH-150-W 2-Way 6.5-Inch DSP-Powered Nearfield Monitor - White
The KH 150 is a powerful bi-amplified studio monitor with reference-class performance. Its 6.5” woofer in a bass reflex cabinet provides stunning low end and high SPL capability with undiminished clarity. DSP controlled electronics ensure linear phase response and allow for room-adaptive calibration via Neumann’s revolutionary MA 1 Automatic Monitor Alignment.
Features:
- High-precision drivers, Mathematically Modelled Dispersion™ (MMD™) waveguide
- Linear frequency response 39 Hz … 21 kHz (±3 dB)
- Linear phase response 105 Hz … 16 kHz (± 45°) with latency < 2,6 ms
- DSP engine allows for room adaptive calibration via Neumann’s MA 1
- Razor-sharp imaging due to extremely low tolerances (± 0.8 dB)
- May be combined with other KH line speakers in immersive/surround setups.
