Neumann KH 120 A Review<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Neumann have a reputation for making premium microphones. With the KH range they bring the same exceptional sound quality to the studio monitor market. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Neumann KH 120s are designed specifically for small rooms, and offer neutral, faithful sound reproduction.  Aimed at those with a higher budget, they’re one of the best reference monitors in their price class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are they?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Founded in Berlin in 1928, the Neumann brand is well known for making exceptional quality microphones, and other premium electronics.  More recently Neumann has partnered with Klein and Hummel – another German manufacturer with a long-standing reputation for producing premium quality speaker systems. Together they’ve produced the KH range of active nearfield studio monitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The KH 120s are a compact unit ideal for the smaller control room.  They have 5.25\u201d woofers, with 50W drivers for both woofer and tweeter. The KH120s are active, meaning they require mains power, but don\u2019t require an external amplifier. They’re also bi-amped – they have two separate dedicated amplifiers to power both the woofer and tweeter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Neumann KH 120s have a good low-range for their size, extending down to 52Hz -thats the G# 2 1\/2 octaves below middle C. They’re capable of pumping out sound at impressive volumes of up to 111.1dB.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All together, the 120s are perfect for small rooms or more intimate monitoring situations.  I think it’s fair to say they’re widely known for a detailed and neutral sound.  This is what I look for in monitors – it means that they’ll accurately recreate your mixes, warts and all!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have the budget for quality monitors, or are currently looking to upgrade, the KH120s may well be the right choice for you.  Let\u2019s see how they perform in this Neumann KH120 review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
