The Neumann KH 420 Active Midfield Studio Monitor represents the result of using the latest techniques in acoustical, electronic and mechanical design to bring a new benchmark in audio reproduction quality. In-house computer optimized drivers, a waveguide featuring Mathematically Modeled Dispersion™ (MMD™), flexible acoustical controls, various input options, and an extensive mounting hardware range allow the KH 420 to be used in diverse acoustical conditions, with any source equipment, and in a wide variety of physical locations.
The KH 420 has been designed for use as a mid-field or main monitor. It is particularly well-suited for use in music, broadcast, and post production studios for tracking, mixing, and mastering. The KH 420 can be used free-standing or flush mounted into a wall, and, in multichannel systems, can be mixed freely with other loudspeakers in the range.
The main features of the Neumann KH 420 Active Midfield Studio Monitor include:
With these fantastic monitors I have rediscovered a relationship with the lowest octaves of music. For clarity, I am reminded of being at Angel Studios, London, during recording sessions. There, the glass division between the control room and the live orchestra would become seemingly 'air' and one could imagine reaching or steeping through the glass, unaware of it's presence.
I feel the same wit these speakers - that there is no space dividing myself from the music I am hearing. The speakers are so perfect, they literally disappear.
On a less heady note, they are equipped with sensible analogue EQ room controls, an insane amount of pushing power, and can be easily configured to a sweet spot either horizontally or vertically positioned.
You will need a friend to mount them - they are SOLID.
