Feb 6, 2012 1:59 PM
Neumann announced the launch of two new active subwoofers: the KH 810 and KH 870. The KH 810 and KH 870 both feature Neumann’s 7.1 High Definition Bass Manager, which is compatible with all formats from mono to 7.1 high-definition systems. The KH 810 can be used either as a subwoofer dedicated to reproducing the LFE channel, or as a means of providing low frequency extension with an increased maximum SPL. With the KH 810, it is now possible to assemble flexible monitoring systems for studios of different sizes, with a response that ranges from below 20Hz to above 20kHz. Eight electronically balanced analog XLR inputs ensure interconnectivity for studios. Four-mode LFE channel processing also guarantees compatibility across all formats. A built-in volume control permits centralized system adjustment of replay levels, independent of the source. The electronics can be located remotely to reduce cabling, and to allow the cabinet to be mounted flush to a wall. A 10in. driver, solid cabinet, and carefully designed ports guarantee distortion-free low frequency reproduction down to 18Hz. Price: KH 810, $1,999; KH 870, $3,199
