Our editorial take on the Neumann KH 80 DSP 4" + 1" Active 2-Way Studio Monitor (Gray, Single)
The Neumann KH 80 DSP is an active two-way studio monitor designed for near-field monitoring. It features a 4-inch composite cone woofer and a 1-inch dome tweeter, driven by 120W and 70W peak amplifiers respectively. The inclusion of an onboard DSP engine, controllable via the Neumann.Control app, allows for acoustic adaptation in various studio environments. Its frequency range extends from 53 Hz to 21 kHz (±6 dB).
Connectivity includes a combo XLR-1/4 inch TRS balanced line input and an RJ45 Ethernet port for network control. The monitor is housed in a bass-reflex ported enclosure and offers protection features such as excursion, peak, and soft limiters, as well as thermal limiting. Weighing 9.0 lbs and featuring two M6 mounting points on the rear panel, the KH 80 DSP is a compact option for professional and home studio setups.
While its digital sound processing capabilities offer flexibility, the unit is sold as a single monitor, meaning two would be required for a stereo setup. Its design prioritizes precise sound reproduction suitable for critical listening tasks.
- Onboard DSP engine for acoustic calibration
