Description
Neumann KH 150 AES67 Active 6.5-inch 2-Way Studio Monitor (White)
The KH 150 is more than just raw power; it's about intelligent acoustic design. Neumann’s proprietary Mathematically Modeled Dispersion (MMD™) waveguide creates an exceptionally wide sweet spot and minimizes desk reflections, ensuring you hear your mix, not your room. This particular model elevates its professional credentials with integrated AES67 audio-over-IP functionality, allowing for seamless integration into complex, network-based studio environments like broadcast and post-production facilities. Combining this future-proof connectivity with classic analog and S/PDIF inputs, the KH 150 AES67 is a versatile and powerful tool for any critical listening application.
Key Features
- DSP-Powered Performance:The internal DSP engine ensures a linear phase response and allows for precise room calibration using Neumann's MA 1 system, delivering mixes that translate perfectly.
- Extended Low-End:A newly designed 6.5-inch woofer in a bass reflex cabinet provides a clear, deep bass response down to 39 Hz, reducing the need for a separate subwoofer.
- MMD™ Waveguide:The Mathematically Modeled Dispersion waveguide delivers a wide sweet spot and eliminates desk reflections, ensuring consistent sound quality across your listening area.
- AES67 Audio-over-IP:This model includes built-in AES67 connectivity, enabling seamless integration into professional AoIP networks like Ravenna and Dante for broadcast and large-scale studio setups.
- High-Resolution Tweeter:The 1-inch tweeter provides crystal-clear, non-fatiguing high frequencies with exceptional detail and transient response for critical listening sessions.
- Powerful Bi-Amplification:Custom-designed Class D amplifiers deliver 145 W to the woofer and 100 W to the tweeter, offering substantial headroom and ultra-low distortion.
- Versatile Connectivity:Along with AES67, it offers analog XLR and S/PDIF digital inputs, making it compatible with any studio environment from analog to complex digital workflows.
- Energy Efficient:A patented amplifier technology combines superior audio performance with high energy efficiency, including an auto-standby mode to reduce power consumption.
Why Neumann KH 150 AES67 (White) Is Better
The KH 150 AES67 masterfully bridges the gap between the compact KH 120 and the larger three-way KH 310. It offers bass performance that rivals its larger sibling in a much more compact, near-field-friendly enclosure. Unlike previous models in its class, the KH 150 integrates a powerful DSP engine that not only linearizes the response but also enables sophisticated room correction with the optional MA 1 system—a feature previously reserved for high-end systems. The inclusion of AES67 is a significant step forward, providing a direct, high-resolution audio-over-IP connection that is essential for modern broadcast, post-production, and networked studio infrastructures, offering a level of integration and flexibility that traditional analog-only monitors cannot match.
Advantages
* Make confident mixing decisions with a monitor that reveals every detail from the deepest sub-bass to the most delicate highs.
* Achieve better mix translation thanks to the exceptional linear phase and frequency response.
* Reduce ear fatigue during long sessions with its clean, distortion-free sound reproduction.
For Broadcast & Post-Production Studios:
* Integrate seamlessly into AES67 or Dante-based AoIP networks for simplified wiring and routing.
* Rely on consistent, reference-grade audio for dialogue editing, sound design, and broadcast mixing.
* The compact size fits perfectly into smaller edit suites and outside broadcast vans without compromising on low-frequency information.
For Project & Home Studios:
* Attain professional, world-class Neumann monitoring quality in a smaller footprint.
* Eliminate guesswork by correcting room acoustic issues with the optional MA 1 Automatic Alignment system.
* Invest in a future-proof monitor that grows with your studio's capabilities.
Best Suitable For
- Mixing and Mastering Engineers: Because its exceptional linearity and deep bass response ensure mixes translate accurately to other systems.
- Broadcast Professionals: Because the AES67 connectivity allows for seamless integration into modern, IP-based broadcast workflows.
- Film and Post-Production Editors: Because the precise imaging and clarity are crucial for dialogue editing, sound design, and Foley work.

FAQs - Neumann KH 150 AES67 Active 6.5" 2-Way Studio Monitor (White)
Q: Is this a pair or a single studio monitor?
A: This product is sold as a single monitor. To create a stereo or surround setup, you will need to purchase multiple units.
Q: What is AES67 and do I need it?
A: AES67 is a standard for audio-over-IP (AoIP). If you work in a professional broadcast or large studio with a networked audio system (like Dante or Ravenna), this feature is essential. For smaller, traditional setups, you can use the standard analog XLR or S/PDIF inputs.
Q: How does the KH 150 AES67 compare to the standard KH 150?
A: Acoustically, they are identical. The only difference is the KH 150 AES67 model includes the RJ-45 Ethernet port for audio-over-IP connectivity, which the standard model lacks.
Q: Do I need a subwoofer with the KH 150?
A: With a bass extension down to 39 Hz, the KH 150 provides sufficient low-end for most music mixing tasks. However, for film mixing (LFE channel) or genres with significant sub-bass content, pairing it with a Neumann KH series subwoofer is recommended.
Q: What is the Neumann MA 1 Automatic Monitor Alignment system?
A: The MA 1 is a dedicated microphone and software kit (sold separately) that measures your room's acoustic response and automatically calibrates the KH 150's internal DSP to provide the most accurate sound possible in your specific environment.
Q: Can I use these monitors in an untreated room?
A: While acoustic treatment is always recommended, the KH 150 combined with the optional MA 1 alignment system can significantly correct for room imperfections, making it an excellent choice for less-than-ideal listening spaces.
Q: What's the main difference between the KH 150 and the KH 120?
A: The KH 150 has a larger 6.5-inch woofer (vs. 5.25-inch on the KH 120), providing a deeper bass response (39 Hz vs. 52 Hz) and higher SPL. It also features an integrated DSP for room correction, a capability the KH 120 lacks.
Q: Are these monitors suitable for Dolby Atmos setups?
A: Yes, the KH 150's consistent dispersion, accuracy, and compact size make it an excellent choice for immersive audio formats like Dolby Atmos.
Q: What cables do I need to connect these monitors?
A: For analog, you'll need an XLR cable. For digital, an RCA S/PDIF cable or a standard Cat 5e/6 Ethernet cable for AES67. A standard Indian power cord is included.
Q: How do I claim the warranty in India?
A: As an authorized dealer, we can assist you with the process. You can contact Neumann's official service partner in India with your purchase invoice from us to claim the 2-year warranty.
Q: Is there a break-in period for these monitors?
A: Neumann monitors are built to tight tolerances and perform to spec out of the box. However, like any high-performance speaker, allowing a few hours of playback at moderate levels for the drivers to settle is a good practice.
Q: Can I mount these monitors on a stand or wall?
A: Yes, the rear panel features two M6 threaded inserts for attaching to a wide range of Neumann mounting hardware and third-party mounting solutions.
Q: Are these powered (active) or passive monitors?
A: The KH 150 is an active monitor. It has its own built-in amplifiers, so you do not need a separate power amplifier. Just connect your audio source directly.
Q: Do you offer GST billing for businesses?
A: Yes, we provide a proper GST invoice with all purchases, which you can use to claim input tax credit for your business.
Q: Is the power supply compatible with Indian voltage (230V)?
A: Yes, the monitor features a universal switch-mode power supply (100-240V) and comes with a power cord suitable for Indian sockets.
