Neumann KH 310 Studio Monitors

The Neumann KH 310 Active Midfield Studio Monitors are a matched pair of three-way monitors that reflects Neumann's philosophy of achieving the most accurate sound reproduction using state-of-the-art technology and techniques.

The Neumann KH 310 Studio Monitors exceed the demands for a higher level of audio performance brought on by the transition to HDTV and 5.1 multichannel audio, providing exceptional directivity and detail. Take advantage at Front End Audio with this Left/Right combination pair of KH 310 motitors.

The KH 310 A is an active near-field monitor for demanding applications in the areas of music production, broadcasting, post-production, mixing and mastering. It is also excellently suited for use as a front loudspeaker in medium-sized surround systems, or as a rear loudspeaker for larger multichannel systems. The drivers, all developed by Neumann, have been adapted to one another using acoustic simulations and an extensive series of measurements. A longthrow bass driver ensures low distortion even at high sound pressure levels.

The mid-frequencies essential for speech and vocals are reproduced with exceptional precision by a dedicated mid-range driver. High frequencies are handled by an alloy fabric dome in an elliptical Mathematically Modeled Dispersion (MMD) waveguide. The result is a transparent reproduction with a wide usable listening area while minimizing refl ections in the vertical plane. Thanks to a sealed cabinet and acoustic controls for bass, low-mid and high frequencies, the KH 310 A is also a problem-solver for acoustically challenging spaces such as smaller project and post-production studios and OB vans.

Neumann KH 310 Studio Monitors Features

• Elliptical Mathematically Modeled Dispersion waveguide for smoother off-axis response
• Midrange driver reproduces important midrange frequencies and reduces Doppler effect, which reduces intermodulation distortion
• Low-distortion high-frequency reproduction
• Wide horizontal dispersion offers freedom of movement across the mixing console
• Narrow vertical dispersion reduces reflections off the mixing console
• One-piece front panel with no discontinuities for reduced diffraction and smoother frequency response
