Audio engineers, musicians, and producers in need of a quality studio monitor with an extended frequency range will be thrilled with the anthracite Neumann KH 150, a 2-way active studio monitor well suited for near-field monitoring and multichannel setups in music studios, broadcast centers, and vans, as well as home studios and desktop audio applications. The KH 150 utilizes two amplifiers (145 and 100W) to power the 6.5" woofer and 1" tweeter respectively, an onboard DSP engine, a Mathematically Modeled Dispersion waveguide (MMD), an analog input, and an extensive range of optional mounting hardware.

The DSP function is accessed via a standard IP network and allows for room calibration using Neumann's revolutionary Automatic Monitor Alignment system. The MA 1 (sold separately) makes sure your DSP-powered monitors are optimally adapted to your room's characteristics and perfectly calibrated for your listening position. With the use of the latest acoustic and electronic simulation and measurement technologies, the KH 150 can be used in diverse acoustical conditions with any source equipment and in a wide variety of physical locations, ensuring accurate sound reproduction.

• High-precision drivers, Mathematically Modelled Dispersion (MMD) waveguide
• Linear frequency response 39 Hz to 21 kHz (±3 dB)
• Linear phase response 105 Hz to 16 kHz (±45°) with latency <2.6 ms
• DSP engine allows for room adaptive calibration via Neumann’s MA 1
• Razor-sharp imaging due to extremely low tolerances (±0.8 dB)
• May be combined with other KH line speakers in immersive/surround setups

The KH 150 is a powerful bi-amplified studio monitor with reference-class performance. Its 6.5" woofer in a bass reflex cabinet provides stunning low-end and high-end SPL capability with undiminished clarity. DSP-controlled electronics ensure linear phase response and allow for room-adaptive calibration using Neumann's revolutionary MA 1 Automatic Monitor Alignment system.

The KH 150 follows the same philosophy as all Neumann studio monitors: highest linearity, lowest distortion, no coloration, and perfect adaptability to any acoustic environment. It allows you to hear every nuance of your tracks. Once you eliminate the guesswork, mixing becomes so much faster and easier, not to mention more creative. It sounds amazing, but can you get away with that? Is that vocal bright or sibilant? Is it too much bass? The KH 150 will tell you—honestly.

• What differentiates the KH 150 from its smaller siblings is its deeper bass response down to 39 Hz. That’s almost as low as the larger KH 310, which is made possible by the KH 150’s novel 6.5” high-precision woofer in a carefully designed bass reflex cabinet.
• The KH 150 is ideally suited to urban music, EDM, film scoring, and all styles that require extended low-end and/or elevated listening levels.
• Thanks to powerful amplifiers (145W/100W) and sophisticated protection limiters, no clarity is lost even at high SPLs.
• The KH 150 works just as well for everything from rock to classical music, broadcast applications and voice-over work.
• The KH 150 has an exceptionally linear frequency response from 39 Hz to 21 kHz (±3 dB). Not only that, it also linearizes the phase response, which translates to clear mids with astonishing transparency and extreme accuracy in the time domain, (i.e. precise impulse reproduction and finely resolved reverbs.) This is made possible by DSP-controlled electronics that allow for sophisticated crossovers and avoid the phase distortion caused by analog filters.
• The internal DSP also achieves new standards in tonal consistency, as the KH 150 is made to extremely low tolerances of no more than ±0.8 dB.

• Even the best loudspeaker only sounds as good as the acoustic environment allows. Neumann’s Mathematically Modeled Dispersion (MMD) waveguide guarantees a wide sweet spot and minimizes desk reflections. But the KH 150 goes much further—its internal DSP allows for room calibration using Neumann’s revolutionary Automatic Monitor Alignment system. 
• The MA 1 (sold separately) makes sure your DSP-powered monitors are optimally adapted to your room’s characteristics and perfectly calibrated for your listening position. Even in acoustically treated rooms, this results in a huge improvement.

Neumann engineers worked painstakingly to develop a patent-pending amplifier technology that combines superior audio performance with Class-D energy efficiency. Although the KH 150's amplifiers deliver up to 145W to the 6.5" woofer and 100W to the 1" tweeter, they only consume 17W at idle. And an optional auto-standby mode can be enabled to reduce power consumption to 0.3W when the KH 150 is not in use.

Q: 3. Does anyone have experience with traveling on an airplane with this item How did you manage it?

A: This would be less than ideal. A Westcott X-Drop system would be far easier to transport.

Q: 4. What is their weight, not the package weight?

A: Neumann has not provided the weight without packaging for the Neumann NDH 20 Headphones, only the packed weight, which is 1.22 kg (2 lbs 11 oz).

Q: 5. I’m having trouble connecting the backdrop to the stand when hanging horizontally. When horizontal, there are no straps in the middle to connect to the stand, so how can it effectively connect and hang centered when there are no straps in the middle, only on either side of the middle? Thanks for your help!

A: This stand is made for Vertical orientation. You can use a 2nd stand for horizontal or get this stand with 2 clips B&H # IMLSRH

Q: 6. Please confirm that there is indeed a solid gray on the reverse side, as description of product makes no mention specifically of a solid gray on the reverse side, and only a mottled, painted gray is illustrated. If solid gray on reverse side, would you describe it as dark, medium, or light gray?

A: The one side of the background is dyed. The other is the untreated cloth and may or may not be a usable background.

Q: 7. Can you buy a single spearker as a center channel?

A: You could use it as a center channel in a compatible surround mixing set up, but you would not be able to connect it to a home AV receiver for the purpose of watching movies.

Q: 8. do these have metal?

A: Yes, the band is a lightweight metal.

Q: 9. What is the advantage of green screen?

A: A green screen such as this Studio Essentials Pop-Up Reversible Background would be ideal for those shooting photo or video who wish to add their own digital background in post.

Q: 10. How do these speakers sound without the subwoofer? Asking for video production.

A: The JBL 306P MkII Powered 6.5" Two-Way Studio Monitors are very popular monitors that are commonly used for recording and video production without a subwoofer. The 306P MkII includes a 6.5" woofer and 1" tweeter, and has a frequency range of 39 Hz to 24 kHz (at -10 dB). If your audio has a lot of content in the frequency range below 39 Hz, then you may want to use a subwoofer along with the studio monitors.
