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.

Key Features

• 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

Neumann Accuracy, Serious Bass and Power

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.

What You Hear Is What You Get

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.

One Bigger

• 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.

Ready for Your Room

• 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.

Energy Efficient

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.
