Three-way power with studio quality

The Neumann KH 310 A is a new active midfield three-way monitor from the renowned German manufacturer, offering recording studios a particularly neutral sound. It also scores highly in terms of dynamics with its high impulse fidelity, and its uniform directivity makes it capable of suppressing ambient influences more than comparable speakers when monitoring recording and mixing signals. It produces an impressive 290W RMS; the combination of an 8 1/4" woofer, a 3" midrange driver, and a 1" tweeter provides plenty of power and achieves a maximum sound pressure level of over 120dB SPL. With its frequency range from a high-end of 21kHz down to a bass of 34Hz, this speaker leaves nothing to be desired. On top of all that, the Neumann KH 310 A comes equipped with a limiter protection circuit and on-board temperature control.

Fine tune every detail

Audio signals are fed to the magnetically shielded Neumann KH 310 A via a low-noise, balanced XLR socket. For spatial adaptation, frequency processing can be adjusted on the rear panel by way of the preset selector switches, which offer a neutral position and three variations for each of the three speaker channels. The bass can be lowered by a maximum of 7.5dB, the mid-range by a maximum of 4.5dB, and the treble by up to 2dB; the latter can also be raised by 1dB. The output level of the monitor loudspeaker can also be individualised. Ground loops can be prevented using the ground lift feature, and as a little gimmick, the illuminated Neumann logo even has four adjustable brightness settings.

Studio-grade professional gear

The Neumann KH 310 A is first and foremost a professional tool for mid-range use in project and recording studios. Frequent users, especially those using the monitor continuously, will appreciate the fact that it has a thermal protection circuit: A warning LED lights up red if the electronics get too hot and, in addition, the output level of the loudspeaker is also reduced by 20dB when the protection circuit kicks in. Of course, even everyday fans of excellent hi-fi audio will appreciate the Neumann KH 310 A if they are looking for a restrained and detailed sound.

About Neumann

Georg Neumann GmbH was founded in Berlin in 1928 - and is certainly one of the most famous brands of microphones in the world. However, this is not the company's only sphere of activity. For many years, the versatile inventor and pioneer Georg Neumann was also involved with vinyl record cutting machines and the development of rechargeable batteries. The technology he developed is still the basis for this now crucial and rapidly expanding market. What is more, for many years the company built highly personalised sound control systems for broadcast studios/theatres and concert halls, and for several years also studio monitors. In 1991, Neumann became part of the Sennheiser group of companies, and in 1999 was the first German company to receive the Technical Grammy for their overall technical achievements.

Easy to mount a million ways

The Neumann KH 310 A is perhaps most often used horizontally on stands, but it also has two side-mounted M8 openings for attaching accessories such as U-brackets. There are also steel handles on the back, with pre-drilled holes for direct wall mounting. If the plan is to use these monitor speakers on stands, then bear in mind that they will need to be very stable: Constructed as they are from a combination of varnished wood, polyurethane elements, and aluminium backing, just one of these high-quality speakers weighs over 13kg. A suitable column stand for this speaker is, for example, the Thomann Exclusive Monitor Stand Eco WH. The corresponding left speaker is, of course, also available in our shop. The Neumann GKH 310 protective grille, which is sold separately, can also be ordered to give the speaker's diaphragms an extra layer of protection.

Perfect mid-field monitor, also for home use

Navelpluis 04.07.2021

For me, audio always has been top priority. Over time, I have build a couple of good loudspeaker concepts, and from time to time I bought some pairs of 2nd hand loudspeakers as well. But most of these -certainly after a while- were disappointing. The passive loudspeaker pair that I still have in use and still happy with is from O.L.S. in Breda. This company is manufacturing very exclusive loudspeakers at this day (Oosturum Kharma), but man, one needs budget !
So I took the gamble and -after reading lots of reviews and watching video's- I bought a pair of these KH 310 A's. I have them almost for a year now, therefore I decided to write this review

At the first listening session I already was stunned.

One of the very good properties of these speakers is very direct and clean bass: This always is most difficult to reproduce. The outstanding performance is due to the closed cabinet concept. It is unbelievable how Neumann managed to reproduce audio with these loudspeakers: Simply brilliant. Very clean, no additions, no lies, this is -to my opinion- the de-facto monitor pair that every professional and audio lover needs. They are never boring, nor do I experience fatigue. I had numerous of listening sessions for up to 8 hours (with small pauses in between) and man, I am so happy ;-)

Conclusion: The amount of money Neumann is asking for a pair of these, it is a no-brainer and it is worth each penny. For every person addicted to audio, please check these out.

(Hopefully while more people will do monitoring with these, the loudness-wars hopefully will come to an end. This is because these speakers are forcing one to finally use his/her ears)

great separation & clarity

Christopher5496 27.08.2014

The monitors are a superb tool... the sealed incasement are a real plus for definement of bass and if one doesn't have the most perfect acoustic environment to work in. For myself I change work spaces often, and these monitors are perfect for me due to this. The separation and aural landscape I hear with the KH310's is a very clear picture... for me this is essential for mixing. The monitors also translate at different volumes quite well. They have the beef to serve up clarity while loud, and sensitivity to provide a clear picture at low volume. Both of which allows me to work at various levels without my ears getting tired. Superb!

Report

Surgical yet superb.

Diamond Eyes 22.03.2021

First off, I use these monitors in my studio, it has sufficient room treatment (Bass trapping, reflection points etc...) & they are placed around the 38% mark with the equal triangle method.

At first, I really enjoyed the clarity bu after a few days I became discouraged as they felt very underwhelming. However a month on & with a good 100+ hours listening to them I'm over the moon with them! They translate insanely well, with defined and dry bass response, incredible mid range & tight high end.

Pros:
Surgically accurate
Expansive mid range
Crisp high end
Dry Bass
Confidence boosters

Cons:
Not hyped (Not really a con but to a person who enjoys hyped monitoring then you should be test before committing to these monitors)
Wide (Again, not so much a con but a heads up! You want to get them fairly close for good stereo imaging as the mid range driver is on the outside).

Overall if you're after quality & reliable mixing monitors then these are easily the best in their price point. Comparable to the ATCSCM25A but at under half the cost Neumann have done a fantastic job here.

Recommended.

Report

Excellent

Cesare Nasini 08.04.2021

I use these studio monitors for home use. I must say that the reproduction quality is excellent, especially when compared to the price. The bass is fantastic, powerful and deep but controlled. Very nice mids, and never annoying highs. A really good product.
