Neumann has expanded its KH series with five new DSP-controlled subwoofers, aimed at professional audio environments ranging from stereo studios to large immersive production facilities. The additions include the KH 805 II, KH 810 II, and KH 870 II, alongside AES67 networked variants of the KH 810 II and KH 870 II.
The company says the new models are designed to provide higher output, multichannel bass management, and seamless integration with both analogue and DSP-equipped KH monitors. The KH 805 II offers double the output of the KH 750 DSP, while the KH 810 II introduces bass management for up to 7.1.4 systems. The flagship KH 870 II further increases SPL capabilities, intended for use in larger control rooms.
Two versions – the KH 810 II AES67 and KH 870 II AES67 – support AoIP workflows with compatibility for ST 2110, ST 2022-7 redundancy, RAVENNA, NMOS, and DANTE-generated streams, providing networked audio flexibility for broadcast and post-production users.
All five subwoofers feature built-in DSP and support Neumann’s MA 1 Automatic Monitor Alignment system (available separately), allowing room-specific calibration and phase alignment across the full monitoring chain.
Yasmine Riechers, CEO of Neumann, said: “Our new KH subwoofers offer scalable solutions for every studio size and format – from stereo to surround and immersive – while integrating seamlessly with both analogue and DSP-equipped KH monitors.”
Stephan Mauer, head of product, added: “It’s worth noting that they can be combined with both analog and DSP-controlled KH Line studio monitors, making them the perfect tool for upgrading an existing stereo system and/or expanding it for immersive monitoring.”
All models offer low-frequency extension down to 16 Hz, with reduced distortion and port noise, according to Neumann. The expanded range now covers a full spectrum of monitoring needs across music, film, broadcast, and post.
