Product Overview

The KH 120 II W AES67 (509126) is built on the same high-performance platform as the standard KH 120 II but adds professional network integration. It features a 5.25" high-precision woofer and a 1" alloy fabric dome tweeter paired with Neumann's Mathematically Modeled Dispersion™ (MMD) waveguide. The internal DSP engine not only handles the phase-linear crossover but also enables precise room calibration via the MA 1 Automatic Alignment system. This AES67 variant specifically caters to modern workflows requiring reliable digital audio distribution over standard Ethernet infrastructure.

Product Description

Professional AES67 Networking:

The standout feature of the KH 120 II W AES67 is its integrated redundant audio network ports. These are fully compliant with broadcast standards such as ST 2110, ST 2022-7, and RAVENNA, and are also compatible with Dante®-generated AES67 streams. This allows for seamless integration into large-scale networked facilities, ensuring low-latency, high-fidelity audio transmission without the need for traditional bulky analog cabling.

DSP Precision & Room Calibration:

Equipped with a powerful internal DSP engine, the KH 120 II W AES67 achieves a degree of linearity that is simply impossible with analog technology. It linearizes the phase response (120 Hz to 16 kHz) for incredible transparency and time-domain accuracy. When paired with the Neumann MA 1 Automatic Monitor Alignment, the monitor's internal filters are calibrated to your specific room, ensuring the most accurate frequency response possible at your listening position.

Exceptional Acoustic Power:

Despite its compact size, this monitor delivers professional-grade power. It utilizes high-efficiency Class-D amplification (145W for LF / 100W for HF) to achieve a maximum SPL of 116.8 dB. The redesigned 5.25" woofer allows for an impressive low-frequency extension down to 44 Hz, providing enough bass authority for critical mixing decisions without a subwoofer in smaller rooms.

Sustainable and Stylish Design:

The "W" version features a matte white finish that complements contemporary studio designs and minimalist setups. Beyond aesthetics, the electronics are highly energy-efficient, consuming only 17W at idle and dropping to a 0.3W "Auto Standby" mode when not in use. This makes it an eco-friendly choice for long-term professional use.
