The KH 80 DSP studio monitor
Thank you for purchasing a Neumann studio monitor. The KH 80 DSP features a Mathematically Modeled Dispersion™ Waveguide (MMD™), DSP acoustical controls, control via standard
IP networks and an extensive range of mounting hardware. This allows the loudspeaker to
be used in diverse acoustical conditions, with any source equipment and in a wide variety of
physical locations. The KH 80 DSP represents the latest in acoustic and electronic simulation
and measurement technologies to ensure the most accurate sound reproduction possible.
Depending on the size, Neumann’s two-way loudspeaker systems are designed for use as near
field monitors or as rear loudspeakers in larger multi-channel systems. They can be used in
project, music, broadcast, and post production studios for tracking, mixing, and mastering.
Delivery includes
1 KH 80 DSP
4 Self-adhesive feet
1 Safety Guide
1 Supplement “Getting Started Quickly”
Delivery also includes European, UK or US mains cables
About this manual
This operating manual describes the physical setup and autonomous operation of the
KH 80 DSP. For information about using the KH 80 DSP in a network with the Neumann.Control
software please refer to the software help.
Some of the advantages of exploring Neumann.Control are:
• More extensive acoustical controls for more accurate audio reproduction
• System-wide control such as volume control, soloing and muting
• Rapid system re-purposing
When released, to download the app for Android or iOS tablets go to the Google Play Store or
Apple App Store and search for “Neumann.Control”.
When released, to download the software for PC or Mac go to www.neumann.com and find the
download section in the KH 80 DSP product page.

Installing and connecting the KH 80 DSP
CAUTION
Danger of injury and material damage due to tipping/dropping of the product!
If improperly mounted, the product and/or the mounting hardware (e.g. rack) can tip over
or drop down.
X
Always have the product mounted by a qualified specialist according to local, national
and international regulations and standards.
X
Use the mounting systems recommended by Neumann and always provide sucient
additional protection against tipping or dropping.
CAUTION
Damage to the product due to overheating!
If air cannot circulate properly around the cooling vents on the rear of the product, the
amplifier(s) may overheat leading to premature activation of the thermal protection system
which limits the maximum output level of the loudspeaker. In rare cases, damage to the
product may also occur.
X
Never cover the cooling vents.
X
When installing the product into tight spaces such as wall recesses, maintain an air gap
of at least 5 cm (2") around the top, rear and side panels of the product and provide sufficient air circulation. If necessary, use forced-air cooling (e.g. in OB vans).
For information on installation, please refer to the supplied “Getting Started Quickly”
supplement. This will help you set up the loudspeakers in a way that will give you the
best acoustic performance from the system.
For further information on setting up loudspeakers, please refer to the “Questions &
Answers” section on the product page at www.neumann.com.
For more information on building systems using Neumann loudspeaker products, please
refer to the Product Selection Guide at www.neumann.com
Preparing the loudspeakers
CAUTION
Risk of staining surfaces!
Some surfaces treated with varnish, polish or synthetics may suer from stains when they
come into contact with other synthetics. Despite a thorough testing of the synthetics used
by us, we cannot rule out the possibility of staining.
X
Do not place the loudspeaker on delicate surfaces.
To place the loudspeaker on a flat surface:
X
Attach the supplied self-adhesive feet to the bottom of the cabinet.
This reduces the risk of scratching the surface and acoustically isolates the loudspeaker
from the surface.
Preparing the room
X
Arrange all acoustically relevant surfaces and objects symmetrically on either side of the
listening axis of the room (left/right).
X
Minimize the sound that is reflected back to the listening position by using angled surfaces
and/or acoustical treatment.
This product has been optimized for use in recording studios. In order not to aect the
quality of reproduction, make sure that the product is used in an EMC (electromagnetically compatible) environment.
