Neumann Expands KH Line with Five New DSP-Powered Subwoofers
German pro audio innovator Neumann is broadening its KH series with a new family of five DSP-powered subwoofers designed to deliver precise bass across a variety of monitoring environments. From small studios to high-end post houses and live mix rooms, these subwoofers are engineered to integrate seamlessly with KH nearfields and large-format reference systems, ensuring accurate bass performance that producers and engineers can trust.
What Sets the New KH Subwoofers Apart
The five new subs in the KH family share a common goal: reproduced bass that is both clean and impactful, without mud or overextension. Key features include advanced DSP-driven tuning, high-efficiency amplification, and careful cabinet voicing that respects Neumann’s legacy of transparent audio reproduction.
- DSP Precision: Each sub is equipped with a dedicated digital signal processor that allows meticulous crossover control, phase alignment, and room adaptation. This DSP capability helps ensure consistent bass performance from stereo to immersive multi-channel systems.
- Low-Frequency Extension: The subwoofers are designed to hit low frequencies with authority while maintaining tight transient response—crucial for accurate kick drums, bass guitars, and cinematic LFE content.
- System Compatibility: The new subs are designed to pair flawlessly with KH monitors, enhancing both stereo and surround setups, including immersive MX and larger multi-channel configurations used in film and music production.
- User-Friendly Tuning: Intuitive controls and robust room EQ options help engineers tailor the subs to their room acoustics, enabling precise bass translation across different playback environments.
Performance for Stereo, Surround, and Immersive Monitoring
Whether a studio is mixing in stereo, delivering a surround or immersive experience, the new KH subs promise consistent bass alignment with Neumann’s midrange and high-frequency performance. Engineers can set exact crossovers to KH series monitors, ensuring that the bass region integrates with the midrange for a cohesive, natural soundstage. This level of integration is especially valuable in immersive monitoring where bass localization and timing can dramatically affect the perceived space and depth of the mix.
Practical Benefits for the Studio
Beyond technical specs, the real-world impact of these subs lies in workflow and translation. Clear, accurate bass helps producers and engineers interpret kick transients, low-end guitar parts, and cinematic effects more reliably. The DSP empowerment reduces the need for external measurement tools, empowering creatives to achieve trusted results more quickly. The subs’ power efficiency and refined cabinet design also reduce room pressure and vibration transfer, contributing to a more comfortable listening environment during long mixing sessions.
What This Means for Neumann’s KH Ecosystem
Neumann’s KH line is renowned for its precise, studio-grade sound, and the introduction of these five DSP-focused subwoofers strengthens the ecosystem for professionals who demand high-fidelity monitoring. By extending the KH family with calibrated bass, Neumann provides a complete solution for those who require accurate translation from studio to mastering rooms, broadcast suites, and immersive post-production facilities.
Availability and Looking Ahead
Neumann has signaled broad availability across its distribution network, with detailed specifications, measurement data, and room-tuning guidance provided for customers and integrators. As the KH line continues to evolve, users can expect ongoing firmware updates and compatibility refinements that preserve long-term value and performance in fast-changing production environments.
