Neumann KH 80 DSP (Anthracite)

Setup

• 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, and 9 loudspeakers
• Identify loudspeakers on the network that are in the room
• Assign the identified loudspeakers to positions in the room

Align

• Guided Alignment: A process where you are asked very simple questions about the room and the loudspeaker position, and then the app adjusts the response of each loudspeaker accordingly
• Manual Alignment: 8-band fully parametric equalizer for expert users. Expert users have complete freedom to adjust an 8-band parametric equalizer, levels and delays in each loudspeaker as they wish. Manual Alignment can also be used to edit Guided Alignments in a more detailed way

Operate

• System and alignment selection
• Volume control, preset levels, dim, mute all
• Groups, solos, mutes
• Other system settings such as delay, standby level, and logo brightness

In-house simulated 1" tweeter with alloy fabric dome

• Latest modeling techniques used to minimize non-linear (harmonic and intermodulation) distortion
• Low-distortion high frequency reproduction
• Powered by highly efficient 70W amplifier

Elliptical Mathematically Modeled Dispersion (MMD) waveguide

• Smoother off-axis response
• More forgiving of diverse acoustical environments

Wide horizontal dispersion

• Freedom of movement across the mixing console

Narrow vertical dispersion

• Reduces reflections off the mixing console

Two-color + dimmable Neumann logo

• Displays operation status and activation of the extensive protection system
• Dimmable for low-lighting conditions or behind the screen applications

In-house modeled long-throw composite sandwich 4" cone bass driver with Extremely Linear Force Factor (ELFF), magnetic shielding and flow optimized die cast basket

• Damping of break up modes brings low distortion at high sound levels
• Linear pistonic motor gives a very low harmonic distortion even at high excursions
• Reduced air noise and improved rocking modes
• Powered by highly efficient 120W amplifier

Robust metal grilles

• Protects against mechanical damage

Large high-capacity flow-optimized bass reflex ports with pipe resonance damping

• Fast bass transient response
• Reduced bass compression at high output levels
• No coloration from organ pipe resonance
• Easier to mount in tight spaces

Compact polycarbonate composite cabinet

• Robust package for a long life
• No standing wave resonances

One-piece front panel with no discontinuities

• Reduced diffraction and smoother frequency response

Standby function

• Reduces power consumption when product is not in use

Control function

• Use the back panel controls or the control set defined by the Neumann.Control software

4-position low-mid acoustical control

• Compensates for nearby desktops
• Fast acoustical set up in mobile applications
• Repeatable acoustical settings after moving loudspeakers

Wide range input gain and output level controls

• Easier interfacing with signal sources

Fully documented extensive mounting hardware range

• More flexibility in mounting cabinets in more diverse locations and backwards compatible to previous products
• Easy advanced planning for installations

Universal double-insulated switched-mode power supply (100 to 240V)

• One version works in any country and robust to poor quality mains supply
• Ground loops are impossible

Network connector using standard IP protocol and your existing network infrastructure

• No additional special equipment needed
• Loudspeaker system can be controlled via the Neumann.Control software

Analog input socket can accept XLR or 6.3 mm (1/4”) jack plugs, electronically balanced with completely symmetrical internal signal chain

• Completely symmetrical internal signal routing minimizes noises caused by external electromagnetic interference

Production consistency due to automated computer optimized alignment in final testing

• Any KH 80 DSP is pair matched to any other KH 80 DSP

Separate fast acting thermo limiters for woofer and tweeter to protect the voice coils and power amplifiers

• Woofer soft clip and excursion limiters
• Fast acting and highly reliable
• Allows extraction of the maximum performance

Low heat dissipation amplifiers with large headroom and overheat limiting

• Improved transient response
• Assured reliability and safety

8 Precision Alignment acoustical controls accessible via control network

• Accurate and flexible alignment of the loudspeaker in the room and within systems

Delay (0 to 70 ms)

• Lip-sync: To align audio and video signals up to 1.75 frames at 50 Hz or 2.1 frames at 60 Hz
• Time-of-flight: To compensate for listening distance differences up to 24 m

Linear phase crossover

• Flat phase response for timing transparency
