Neumann KH 120 II

The Neumann KH 120 II is widely regarded as one of the finest compact studio monitors ever engineered, setting a reference standard for accuracy, neutrality, and spatial resolution in professional audio monitoring. Neumann’s decades of microphone engineering expertise translate directly into the demanding acoustic measurements and design tolerances applied to the KH 120 II’s driver development. The 5.25-inch woofer and 1-inch tweeter are optimized through extensive modal analysis and FEA simulation to minimize dispersion irregularities and driver resonance throughout their operating ranges. The MMD waveguide precisely controls high-frequency directivity, maintaining consistent off-axis response and enabling accurate stereo imaging across a wide listening area. The analog and digital inputs are paired with sophisticated on-board DSP that provides parametric EQ, latency compensation, and acoustic environment corrections with resolution and precision far exceeding typical studio monitor offerings. The amplification section delivers 145 watts total with very low distortion and exceptional transient response. Ethernet connectivity enables remote calibration via the Neumann MA1 automatic monitor alignment system. At its price point, the KH 120 II is an investment in genuinely professional monitoring capability, trusted by professional mastering engineers worldwide as a definitive reference tool.
