Description
Neumann KH 150 AES67 Active 6.5" 2-Way DSP Studio Monitor
This AES67 version is built for the future of audio production, offering seamless integration into modern audio-over-IP (AoIP) networks. It is fully compliant with broadcast standards like ST 2110 and is compatible with Dante®-generated AES67 streams, making it the ideal choice for broadcast, post-production, and large-scale studio installations. While embracing network audio, the KH 150 AES67 retains its versatility with traditional analog XLR and S/PDIF inputs. When paired with the optional MA 1 Automatic Monitor Alignment system, the internal DSP unlocks its full potential, correcting for room imperfections to deliver a truly honest and reliable monitoring experience.
Key Features
- Superior Linearity:Achieves an exceptionally flat frequency response of 39 Hz to 21 kHz (±3 dB) for mixes you can trust.
- DSP-Powered Engine:Enables phase linearization for superb impulse response and allows for precise room-adaptive calibration with the optional MA 1 system.
- AES67 Audio-over-IP:Integrates directly into redundant, broadcast-standard RAVENNA and Dante® AoIP networks for ultimate flexibility and signal integrity.
- Deep Bass Response:The 6.5" woofer in an optimized cabinet produces powerful, tight bass down to 39 Hz, reducing the need for a subwoofer.
- Mathematically Modeled Dispersion (MMD™) Waveguide:Creates a very wide sweet spot and minimizes desk reflections, providing consistent sound in various listening positions.
- High-Resolution Amplification:A patented, energy-efficient design provides 145 W for the woofer and 100 W for the tweeter, enabling high SPLs with extreme clarity.
- Versatile Connectivity:Features balanced analog XLR, digital S/PDIF, and AES67 (RJ-45) inputs to fit into any professional workflow.
- Acoustical Controls:Manual 4-position switches for bass, low-mid, and treble allow for quick adjustments to match your monitor placement and room acoustics.
Why Neumann KH 150 AES67 Is Better
The KH 150 AES67 represents a significant advancement over traditional nearfield monitors and even its acclaimed predecessor, the KH 120. While the KH 120 is a compact reference, the KH 150 offers substantially deeper bass extension (39 Hz vs 52 Hz), providing a more complete picture of your audio without a subwoofer. The integrated DSP engine is the key differentiator, enabling a level of room correction previously reserved for much larger, more expensive systems. Compared to competitors, its combination of linearity, low distortion, and network capability is unparalleled in its class. The AES67 variant specifically makes it future-proof, moving beyond legacy connections to offer the robustness and scalability of networked audio required in modern broadcast and post-production facilities.
Advantages
* Make confident low-end decisions with powerful, accurate bass.
* Hear every nuance thanks to ultra-low distortion and excellent transient response.
* Achieve mixes that translate perfectly across different playback systems.
* Reduce listening fatigue during long sessions with a non-hyped, natural sound.
For Broadcast & Post-Production Facilities:
* Integrate seamlessly into AES67, RAVENNA, and Dante® workflows.
* Maintain perfect signal integrity over long cable runs using standard network infrastructure.
* Ensure monitoring consistency across multiple control rooms and studios.
* Benefit from the compact size for easy placement in crowded environments.
For Mastering Engineers:
* Utilize its reference-grade linearity and phase coherence for critical listening.
* Identify subtle clicks, pops, and distortion with absolute precision.
* Create a perfectly calibrated listening environment using the DSP and MA 1 system.

FAQs -
Q: What is the main difference between the standard KH 150 and the KH 150 AES67?
A: The KH 150 AES67 includes an AES67 audio-over-IP port (RJ-45), allowing it to connect directly to modern networked audio systems. The standard version does not have this network port.
Q: Can I use the KH 150 AES67 with a Dante audio network?
A: Yes, the KH 150 AES67 is fully compatible with Dante®-generated AES67 streams, making it easy to integrate into existing Dante networks.
Q: Do I need to buy the Neumann MA 1 measurement microphone to use these monitors?
A: No, the monitors are fully functional out of the box with manual acoustic controls. However, the MA 1 microphone is required to use the advanced automatic room calibration feature via the DSP.
Q: How does the bass response of the KH 150 compare to the smaller KH 120?
A: The KH 150 has a significantly deeper and more powerful bass response, extending down to 39 Hz compared to the KH 120's 52 Hz. This often removes the need for a subwoofer.
Q: Is this product sold as a single monitor or as a pair?
A: Neumann studio monitors are sold as single units. You would need to purchase two for a stereo pair.
Q: Can I use the analog or S/PDIF inputs at the same time as the AES67 input?
A: You can have multiple sources connected, but you must select which input (Analog, S/PDIF, or AES67) is active through the monitor's settings or control software.
Q: Are these monitors suitable for a small, untreated bedroom studio?
A: Yes, they are excellent for such environments. The DSP room correction (with the MA 1) is especially effective at taming acoustic problems in untreated rooms.
Q: What is the warranty provided in India?
A: This product comes with an official 2-year manufacturer's warranty from Neumann, serviceable in India when purchased from an authorized dealer like Pro Audio Brands.
Q: Will I receive a GST invoice for my purchase?
A: Yes, we provide a proper GST invoice with every purchase, allowing you to claim input tax credit if you are a registered business.
Q: Do these monitors have an energy-saving standby mode?
A: Yes, they feature an auto-standby mode that can be enabled or disabled. It activates after 90 minutes of inactivity and consumes less than 0.3 W.
Q: What cables are included in the box?
A: The box includes one Indian standard power cable. You will need to purchase your own XLR, S/PDIF, or Ethernet cables for audio signals.
Q: Can the KH 150 AES67 be mounted?
A: Yes, the rear panel features two M6 threaded inserts for attaching to a wide range of Neumann mounting hardware and accessories.
Q: Are these monitors magnetically shielded?
A: Modern monitors like the KH 150 are generally not magnetically shielded as CRT displays are no longer common. Keep them at a reasonable distance from sensitive magnetic equipment.
Q: How do I update the monitor's firmware?
A: Firmware updates are managed via the network connection using the Neumann MA 1 software, ensuring your monitors always have the latest features and improvements.
Q: What is the benefit of the DSP's phase linearization?
A: Phase linearization corrects timing differences between the woofer and tweeter, resulting in a clearer stereo image, sharper transients, and a more accurate representation of the original sound.
