“With immersive audio becoming the new standard across music, post-production, and broadcast, reliable monitoring is more important than ever,” says Yasmine Riechers, CEO of Neumann. “Our new KH subwoofers offer scalable solutions for every studio size and format – from stereo to surround and immersive – while integrating seamlessly with both analog and DSP-equipped KH monitors.”
All new KH subwoofers feature Neumann’s advanced DSP engine, enabling seamless system alignment via MA 1 Automatic Monitor Alignment software and calibrated measurement microphone. This allows users to optimize their entire monitoring setup – including analog KH speakers – for room acoustics and phase coherence. With a low-frequency extension down to 16Hz, these subwoofers provide the clarity and control needed for critical mixing and mastering decisions.
According to Neumann, the new KH 805 II subwoofer builds on the success of the KH 750 DSP, offering approximately double the output for greater headroom and low-end authority. This compact model is the ideal choice for stereo setups using Neumann’s KH 120 II, KH 150, or KH 310 monitors. The similarly sized KH 810 II adds multichannel bass management for systems up to 7.1.4, making it perfect for immersive audio production. It shares the same acoustic design as the KH 805 II and supports bass management for up to eleven studio monitors.
The KH 810 II AES67 and KH 870 II AES67 integrate seamlessly into modern broadcast and networked audio environments. Supporting 12 AES67 input channels and full compliance with ST 2110, ST 2022-7 redundancy, RAVENNA, NMOS, and DANTE-generated streams, these models offer future-proof flexibility and full system integration.
With the addition of these new models, Neumann now offers a complete range of DSP-controlled subwoofers – from the compact KH 750 DSP to the powerful KH 870 II – covering all monitoring needs from stereo to immersive audio across music production, editing, post-production, scoring, mixing, and mastering. Together with Neumann studio monitors, these subwoofers enable reference sound across the entire audible frequency spectrum.
“Our new subwoofers offer significant advancements over their predecessors, with dramatically reduced distortion and port noise,” adds Stephan Mauer, Head of Product. “It’s worth noting that they can be combined with both analog and DSP-controlled KH Line studio monitors, making them the perfect tool for upgrading an existing stereo system and/or expanding it for immersive monitoring. They also offer the option of precise room alignment via MA 1 of the entire system. In other words: no more low-end guesswork.”
Founded in 1928, Georg Neumann is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of studio-grade audio equipment, renowned for its recording microphone legends such as the U 47, M 49, U 67, and U 87. Since 2010, Neumann.Berlin has expanded its expertise in electro-acoustic transducer design to also include the studio monitor market, building upon the legacy of the legendary loudspeaker innovator Klein+Hummel (KH). The first Neumann studio headphones were introduced in 2019, and the introduction of its first audio interface MT 48 allows Neumann to offer all the necessary technologies needed to capture and deliver sound at the highest level. Georg Neumann GmbH has been part of the Sennheiser Group since 1991 and is represented worldwide by the Sennheiser network of subsidiaries and long-standing trading partners.
