Neumann MA 1 Monitor Alignment Kit with KH 80 DSP Monitors

Full Description

Neumann MA 1 Monitor Alignment

Professional monitoring made easy

No special drivers. No additional plug-ins. All alignment data is stored directly into your DSP-powered monitors. Adjust phase and amplitude with the software. You don't need special acoustic knowledge to get great results. This kit does the hard work for you.

Neumann KH 80 DSP A Studio Monitor

Exceptional sonic accuracy and consistency

The KH 80 is the first Neumann DSP studio monitor and delivers the most accurate sound reproduction with added flexibility thanks to the DSP engine and efficient drivers. Combined with the Mathematically Modeled Dispersion Waveguide (MMD) and the rest of the premium-grade components, the KH 80 delivers exceptional audio fidelity. The digital signal processing engine ensures that the sound is pristine and clear whilst the drivers deliver outstanding sound reproduction with quality bass, mid-range and treble results.

Mathematically modeled dispersion (MMD) Waveguide

The MMD waveguide provides optimum control over directivity of the mid-range and treble drivers. The technology allows drivers to experience increased loading, reduced edge diffraction and an overall smoother power response and wider listening area. The result gives the KH 80 reduced audio distortion and ultimately improves the quality of sound reproduction.

Ideal for at home and in the studio

Designed for use as a near-field monitor, a front loudspeaker in small multi-channel systems or as a rear loudspeaker, the Neumann KH 80 is incredibly suited to desktop applications and domestic environments. This makes it ideal for use within broadcast centres, music, OB cans, post production studios or mixing and mastering. Representing the very latest in acoustic and electronic simulation, the most accurate sound reproduction is made possible within the Neumann studio monitor.
