Description
Neumann KH 310 A Three-Way Active Studio Monitor (Right)
The KH 310 A's design philosophy centers on control and precision. The sealed cabinet delivers an exceptionally tight and articulate bass response, free from the port resonance and smearing common in other designs. This is paired with a dedicated 3-inch midrange driver—the most critical frequency range for vocals and instruments—and a high-definition tweeter guided by Neumann's Mathematically Modeled Dispersion™ (MMD™) waveguide. The result is a remarkably wide sweet spot, stunning stereo imaging, and a listening experience that reveals every detail, flaw, and nuance in your mix. This listing is for the right-sided monitor, designed for perfect pairing with the KH 310 A (L).
Key Features
- Tri-amplified Class AB Design:Dedicated amplifiers for the woofer (150W), midrange (70W), and tweeter (70W) provide optimal power, minimal distortion, and superior dynamic range.
- Sealed Cabinet Construction:Eliminates port noise and provides faster, more accurate transient response, which is critical for mixing percussive elements and complex bass lines.
- MMD™ Waveguide Technology:The Mathematically Modeled Dispersion™ waveguide creates a wide horizontal listening area while minimizing reflections off the mixing console for a clearer soundstage.
- Dedicated Midrange Driver:A 3" fabric dome driver reproduces the crucial midrange frequencies with exceptional clarity, preventing listener fatigue and revealing subtle details in vocals and instruments.
- Deep and Controlled Bass:The long-throw 8.25" composite sandwich woofer delivers powerful, low-distortion bass response down to an impressive 34 Hz.
- Acoustical Room Controls:Four-position bass, low-mid, and treble controls allow you to precisely tailor the monitor's response to your specific room acoustics for a flat, accurate sound.
- Comprehensive Protection Circuitry:Independent limiters for each driver protect against overheating and clipping, ensuring long-term reliability even during demanding sessions.
- High-Integrity Analog Input:Features a balanced XLR input to maintain a pristine, interference-free signal path from your audio interface or console.
Why Neumann KH 310 A Monitor (R) Is Better
Compared to conventional two-way monitors, the Neumann KH 310 A's three-way design offers a fundamental advantage in accuracy. By offloading the critical midrange frequencies to a dedicated driver, it drastically reduces intermodulation distortion, resulting in clearer vocals and more defined instrumentation. Unlike ported monitors that can suffer from bass smearing and resonance, the KH 310 A's sealed cabinet provides a far superior transient response. This means kick drums are punchier and bass notes are more articulate, allowing for more precise mixing decisions. As a direct evolution of the revered Klein + Hummel O 300, the KH 310 A incorporates Neumann's advanced driver and waveguide technologies for even lower distortion, a wider sweet spot, and a new standard in reference-grade monitoring.
Advantages

FAQs - Neumann KH 310 Three-Way Active Studio Monitor (R)
Q: Is the Neumann KH 310 A sold individually or as a pair?
A: They are sold individually. This listing is for the right-sided monitor (KH 310 A R). You will need to purchase the left-sided monitor (KH 310 A L) separately for a stereo pair.
Q: What is the difference between the Left and Right versions?
A: The woofer is positioned on the outer side of each speaker in a correctly configured stereo pair. The KH 310 A R has the woofer on the left side of the cabinet (to be on the outside when placed on the right), and vice-versa for the L version. This mirrored design improves stereo imaging.
Q: Do I need a subwoofer with the KH 310 A?
A: For most music mixing and mastering, the KH 310 A's bass extension down to 34 Hz is sufficient. However, for film post-production (LFE channel) or genres with significant sub-bass content, you can pair it with a Neumann KH 750 DSP subwoofer.
Q: How far away should I sit from these monitors?
A: The KH 310 A is designed for near-field and mid-field applications. The recommended listening distance is between 1.0 and 2.5 meters (3 to 8 feet).
Q: What kind of stands should I use?
A: Use sturdy, high-quality speaker stands that can safely support the 13.0 kg weight of each monitor. The stands should place the tweeters at your ear level.
Q: How do I connect the KH 310 A to my audio interface?
A: You should use a high-quality balanced XLR cable to connect the monitor to the balanced line outputs of your audio interface, mixing console, or monitor controller.
Q: What are the acoustic control switches for?
A: These switches help you compensate for your room's acoustics. They allow you to cut or boost Bass, Low-Mid, and Treble frequencies to achieve a flatter, more accurate response at your listening position.
Q: Is the amplifier Class A/B or Class D?
A: The KH 310 A uses proven Class A/B amplifiers, known for their excellent audio quality and low distortion.
Q: Can I use these monitors for casual Hi-Fi listening?
A: While you certainly can, be aware that studio monitors are designed for accuracy and detail, not flattery. They will faithfully reproduce the recording, which may sound different from consumer Hi-Fi speakers that often color the sound.
Q: Why does this monitor have a sealed cabinet instead of a port?
A: A sealed cabinet provides superior transient response (the speaker stops moving faster when the signal stops), which results in tighter, more accurate bass. It also avoids port resonance and noise issues.
Q: How does the KH 310 A compare to the smaller KH 120?
A: The KH 310 A is a three-way monitor with deeper bass extension (34 Hz vs 52 Hz), higher SPL, and a dedicated midrange driver for superior accuracy in the most critical frequency range. The KH 120 is an excellent two-way near-field, but the KH 310 A is a significant step up in performance.
Q: Is the illuminated Neumann logo dimmable?
A: Yes, the brightness of the Neumann logo can be adjusted via a control on the back panel to suit your studio's lighting conditions.
Q: What is the warranty period in India?
A: This product comes with the official manufacturer's warranty for India. Please check the Neumann website or contact us for the specific duration.
Q: Do you provide a GST invoice for my purchase?
A: Yes, we provide a proper GST invoice with all purchases, allowing you to claim input tax credit if you are a registered business.
Q: Can I use an unbalanced cable (like a TS or RCA to XLR)?
A: It is strongly recommended to use a balanced XLR cable to prevent noise and interference. Using an unbalanced cable may work but can introduce unwanted hum or buzz, especially over longer cable runs.
