|
| New in-house simulated drivers with metal grilles |
|
Latest modeling techniques used to minimize non-linear (harmonic and intermodulation) distortion Driver cones protected from accidental physical damage by robust metal grilles |
|
| Powerful alloy fabric tweeter dome |
|
Low-distortion high-frequency reproduction |
|
| Elliptical Mathematically Modeled Dispersion™ (MMD™) waveguide, with wide horizontal and narrow vertical dispersion |
|
Smoother off-axis response, More forgiving of diverse acoustical environments Freedom of movement across the mixing console Reduces reflections off the mixing console |
|
| Long throw composite sandwich cone bass driver with Extremely Linear Force Factor™ (ELFF™) |
|
Damping of break-up modes and low distortion at high sound levels Linear pistonic motor gives a very low harmonic distortion even at high excursions |
|
| Two-color + dimmable Neumann logo |
|
Displays operation status and activation of the extensive protection system
Dimmable for low lighting level conditions or behind the screen applications |
|
| Compact polycarbonate composite cabinet |
|
No standing wave resonances,
Fastest bass transient response,
Reduced intermodulation distortion in midrange |
|
|
Reduced bass compression and easier to mount in tight spaces such as OB vans and small studios |
|
| One-piece front panel with no discontinuities |
|
Reduced diffraction and smoother frequency response |
|
| Powerful highly efficient amplifiers with large headroom |
|
Improved transient response
Low heat dissipation |
|
| Independent thermo limiters for woofer and tweeter to protect the voice coils and power amplifiers. Woofer soft clip and excursion limiters |
|
Fast acting, high reliability and allows extraction of the maximum performance from the system |
|
| Production consistency due to individual alignment in final test |
|
Any one KH 80 DSP unit is “pair-matched” to any other KH 80 DSP unit |
|
| 4-position low-mid acoustical control |
|
Fast acoustical set up in mobile applications |
|
| 8 x Precision Alignment acoustical controls accessible via control network |
|
Accurate and flexible alignment of the loudspeaker in the room and within systems |
|
| Lipsync delay (0 … 70 ms) |
|
To align audio and video signals up to 1.75 frames
at 50 Hz or 2.1 frames at 60 Hz |
|

|
To compensate for listening distance differences up to 24 m (79 ft) |
|
| Linear phase crossover, with bypass |
|
Flat phase response and can by bypassed to give a similar phase response to an analog loudspeaker |
|
| Wide range input gain and output level controls |
|
Easier interfacing with signal sources |
|
| Control network used standard Ethernet components |
|
No additional special equipment needed.Brings setup, alignment and operation functions via the Neuman.Control software* |
|
