Neumann KH 80 DSP Active Studio Monitor

The Neumann KH 80 DSP is a compact two-way active studio monitor designed to deliver exceptional accuracy in nearfield monitoring applications. Combining advanced DSP technology, network control capabilities, and Neumann's Mathematically Modelled Dispersion™ (MMD™) waveguide, the KH 80 DSP provides highly precise sound reproduction for professional recording, mixing, mastering, broadcast, and post-production environments.

Advanced DSP-controlled monitoring

The KH 80 DSP incorporates an integrated DSP engine that optimises performance and enables precise system control. This advanced processing helps ensure consistent and accurate monitoring, allowing engineers and producers to make confident mixing and mastering decisions in a wide variety of acoustic environments.

Exceptional acoustic accuracy

Developed using the latest acoustic simulation, measurement, and electronic modelling technologies, the KH 80 DSP delivers an extremely transparent and detailed listening experience. Neumann's Mathematically Modelled Dispersion™ waveguide ensures controlled directivity and a wide listening area, helping maintain tonal consistency throughout the room.

Designed for professional studios

Whether used for recording, mixing, mastering, or content production, the KH 80 DSP offers the precision required by modern professional studios. Its compact footprint makes it ideal for desktop setups, project studios, broadcast facilities, OB vans, and post-production environments where space is at a premium.

Flexible installation options

The KH 80 DSP features analogue connectivity alongside network control functionality and is supported by an extensive range of mounting accessories. This flexibility allows it to be positioned in a wide variety of studio, installation, and home audio environments while maintaining optimal performance.

Ideal for stereo and immersive systems

The KH 80 DSP performs equally well as a standalone nearfield monitor, as part of a stereo monitoring setup, or within compact multichannel and immersive audio systems. It can be used as a front, surround, or rear speaker depending on the application, making it a highly versatile monitoring solution.
