The Neumann MA 1 Monitor Alignment Kit with KH 80 DSP Monitors brings precision and detail to your control room. With an individually calibrated measurement microphone pair of prograde monitors and user-friendly software its like having an expert engineer right in the room. Exceptional sound reproduction for musicians. The 4-inch and 1-inch drivers are powered via highly capable 120w/70w amplifiers with a 57Hz bass extension and 108.8 dB sound pressure level. Network control allows the KH 80 to be controlled via Neumann Control giving users the ability to use the loudspeaker in diverse environments with any source equipment. The best possible sound for home studios and professional control rooms. The MA 1 Monitor Alignment software automatically calibrates your stereo monitors. Advanced calibration algorithms make it easy to get world-class results no matter where you mix master and monitor. 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 dont 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.
