Neumann has been long favored for its microphones—some of which, it is no exaggeration to say, are veritable classics. The company also offers studio monitors for pro audio applications. For example, consider the KH 80 DSP. At a relatively friendly price, this active two-way studio monitor provides a 4" low-frequency driver and a 1" high-frequency driver, powered by a 120W and 70W amplifier respectively. Also included are a mathematically modelled dispersion waveguide and a built-in DSP engine.
The DSP, used in conjunction with the Neummann.Control app over a standard IP network, lets you tweak the response of the monitor to better suit a wide array of acoustic conditions. Such processing makes the monitor an equally suitable choice for anything from project studios to broadcast vans. With iOS and Android capability, the app lets you tweak the monitor’s DSP from your smartphone or tablet. The monitor itself provides bass capabilities down to 57 Hz at -3 dB, and can push sound at 108.1 dB SPL at a reach of 3.3', and a wide variety of compatible mounts make the monitor quite useful for nearfield applications.
