2 new Neumann three-way active monitors

Neumann adds to its KH series two new three-way active studio monitors, the KH 310 D and KH 420.

The KH 310 D is an improved version of the KH 310 A with digital inputs and a Delay feature on all inputs. This feature is designed for video/audio and lip syncing for it allows for compensating the non-equidistant placement of the monitors.

The KH 420 features an MMD (Mathematically Modeled Dispersion) rotating waveguide, acoustic controls and you can add the optional DIM 1 (Digital Input Module) which includes AES3 and S/PDIF digital inputs as well as the delay feature mentioned above.
