Neumann Announces Launch of KH 310 A Three-Way Active Monitor
Premium audio brand Neumann has announced the launch of its new active studio monitor: the KH 310 A. The KH 310 A is a three-way system that is based on newly developed drivers housed in a sealed cabinet. The company says this ensures extremely accurate reproduction over the entire frequency response at surprisingly high reproduction levels.
The KH 310 A is suited for use as a near-field monitor for mixing and mastering, as a front loudspeaker in medium-sized surround systems or as a rear loudspeaker for larger multi-channel systems. It can be used in applications such as those in the fields of music production, broadcasting, post production and mastering. In combination with the Neumann studio subwoofers, KH 810 and KH 870, which feature a 7.1 High Definition Bass Manager, the KH 310 A monitor provides users with a perfect surround solution. The system is particularly relevant for use in the movie industry, which often requires monitoring solutions for multi-channel recordings with eight or more audio channels.
The KH 310 A’s treble, midrange and bass drivers have all been designed and tested by Neumann. Each driver is carefully optimized using acoustic simulations and undergoes an extensive series of measurements, ensuring an extremely linear reproduction across the entire frequency range. The bass driver provides an accurate response down to 34 Hz. This is achieved using a sealed cabinet design that provides extremely fast transient response. The mid-frequencies, essential for speech and vocals, are reproduced with exceptional precision by a dedicated soft dome midrange driver. The high frequencies are handled by an alloy fabric dome in an elliptical Mathematically Modeled Dispersion waveguide.
Three powerful class-AB amplifiers and a high-capacity SMPS power supply deliver very high headroom to the system with no audible distortion, and the acoustical controls for bass, low-mid and high frequencies make the KH 310 A a problem solver for acoustically challenging environments such as edit suites and OB vans.
