Neumann KH 120 II Anthracite — single monitor

The Neumann KH 120 II is a powered two-way studio monitor supplied here as one anthracite loudspeaker. Its five-and-a-quarter-inch woofer and one-inch tweeter work with built-in DSP-controlled electronics. This is the second-generation KH 120 II, rather than the earlier KH 120 model, and the price is for one unit rather than a stereo pair.

The standard model provides analogue and S/PDIF digital connectivity. Its network connection supports control and alignment, and should not be advertised as an AES67 audio connection: Neumann offers a separate AES67 version. Local controls and network-based adjustment provide options for installation in recording and production spaces.

Neumann publishes a free-field response of 44 Hz to 21 kHz within ±3 dB. That qualified frequency range is distinct from manufacturing-tolerance specifications and must not be rewritten as an unspecified perfectly flat response. The monitor can work with Neumann’s MA 1 alignment system, but this listing does not include that additional system. Built-in amplification means a separate speaker power amplifier is unnecessary; a stereo setup requires two monitors.
