REVIEW
Neumann KH 750 DSP + MA 1
Monitor Alignment Microphone
and Calibration System
Take control with this new subwoofer and
measurement system
REVIEW BY ALEX HAWLEY
N
eumann KH series monitors have been widely praised for the better
part of a decade, and are well known as being accurate and
reliable performers in professional studios. The range currently
includes a variety of two-way and three-way monitors, subwoofers, and
mounting hardware. We reviewed the KH 80 DSP monitors in November
2017, ahead of the much anticipated Neumann.Control iPad app. Even
before the app launched, the monitors performed exceptionally well,
perfect for smaller spaces that still require a truly pro-grade monitor setup.
On review today is the new KH 750 DSP subwoofer, designed to provide
ample low-frequency extension and bass management for monitors like
the KH 80 DSP (used for this review), KH 120, and KH 310. We'll test it
out with the Neumann.Control iPad app and the new Automatic Monitor
Alignment software, paired with the MA 1 measurement microphone.
10 RECORDING March 2021
Overview
KH 750 DSP is a sealed box subwoofer (as opposed to a ported design) and
features a 10 " long-throw driver, four
routing modes, and both digital and analog I/O (AES3 via BNC for digital, XLR
for analog). The build quality is incredibly robust, especially given its compact
size. There's a strong metal grille protecting the speaker cone from accidental
kicks, which is a thoughtful inclusion as
it's intended for tighter spaces.
The back panel hosts quite a few pots
and switches to adjust various parameters including level, phase (in 45-degree
increments), a variable 40 Hz lowshelving cut (to cater to different listening
environments), and a ground-lift switch.
Additional parameters can be managed
through the Neumann.Control app. The
app is a bit limited in terms of reach; at
the moment, it's available only on iPad,
and every speaker in the system has to
be connected to a router via ethernet.
