    Neumann KH420 Review (Studio Monitor)

    Maybe just shipping costs ? They are massive

    Leave it to the Germans, Abacus Mirra 14

    They sound awesome. This is all subjective of course during a short listening test, but for what it's worth: the music is all there, without any coloration. Instruments are very well separated. Highs are all there without being harsh, they go low without distortion (listened at moderate level)...

    Neumann MA-1 room EQ for living room / sweet spot

    I did not :); with the miniDSP Dirac correction they sound so good, I got out the rabbit hole, after years of tinkering. Not sure what new acoustic problems will arise, going that low with the KH750, Ignorant bliss is not so bad. Would be fun though to experiment with the MA-1 + Dirac...

    Neumann KH420 Review (Studio Monitor)

    You’re right ! Latency of my miniDSP flex is about 10 ms. I’m routing audio through the RME UCXII and TotalMix, which let’s me add latency for other channels which keeps everything in sync. But 10 ms still something to consider for playing insruments.

    Neumann KH420 Review (Studio Monitor)

    Hi, I bought the KH420's for use at home, also at moderate listening levels, in the living room. Of axis frequency response is much better, compared to the KH310, as can be seen in Amir's reviews, which is good I guess for casual use with multiple listening positions. Not sure what your room...

    Sounds you figured out what you needed

    PMC result6 Monitor Review

    Strange they got such a good review by SoundOnSound. Nice to read Amir’s review. Almost wanted to buy them but wasn’t sure, felt a bit off, hearing those opposing reviews from press and ordinary users

    Neumann MA-1 room EQ for living room / sweet spot

    Thank you, good to know. Why did you sell the KH750’s ? Too much peaks and dips without the MA-1 software ?

    Neumann MA-1 room EQ for living room / sweet spot

    Those are Abacus Cortex, they don’t go very loud, but down to 22 Hz

    Neumann MA-1 room EQ for living room / sweet spot

    Hi, I have the Neumann KH420 + miniDSP Flex Dirac room EQ. The Dirac app let's you choose between a focussed and wide sweet spot. For the couch in our living room I've chosen the wide sweet spot, and Dirac is a night and day difference. Here it comes: I'm curious about upgrading with two KH750...

    Neumann KH420 Review (Studio Monitor)

    That’s what I thought, two subs or nothing. My listening position can’t be changed. Would be nice if the optional digital DIM 1 module had room correction. Two subs are tempting though; besides MA 1 room correction, which seems pretty good by now, I also heard the mids sound even better, with...

    Neumann KH420 Review (Studio Monitor)

    I think I really have been fortunate, my girlfriend doesn't mind all my gear in the living room, acoustic treatment is too much :) . That's why I'm hoping that a single KH 750 sub on a different spot + MA-1 room calibration might do the trick. Wondering though if I'm selling the KH 420 short...

    Neumann KH420 Review (Studio Monitor)

    Hi, I did indeed measured a better response with REW, just a few centimeters from the wall. I used the parametric EQ to get somewhat rid of the bass hump, but EQ is little use for the cancellation at 50-60 Hz. Hence the idea for a sub, on a different place in my living room. Lastly I also...

    Neumann KH420 Review (Studio Monitor)

    Hi, I just bought the KH 420 for my living room, and have a serious dip at 50-60 Hz, seems cancellation. I’m thinking about buying the KH 750 sub, to solve this dip, and place the sub accordingly. Do you think a single sub will do the KH 420 right, at normal listenng levels ? Cheers !

    questions about understanding subwoofer integration

    Ah, you mean using a parametric EQ for the crossover frequency, and finding one with the least cancellations / amplifications, instead of fiddling with the phase in a predetermined crossover frequency ? Do some like to do both; first finding the best crossover frequency, determined by postion of...

    questions about understanding subwoofer integration

    Thank you for explaining. I’m trying to understand phase conflicts. Does this apply to low frequency waves, of a couple of meters in length, for which it is important to connect in the crossover range ? In accordance with the part of the sound waves of other sources ? (subs / monitors). So a...

    questions about understanding subwoofer integration

    Hi, I'm trying to understand the conditions for good sub integration. Maybe you can help me out with my understanding of 'phase correction'; A lot of people talk about phase correction, integrating a sub. Is this nothing more or less then correcting delay times of the sub, when it’s distance...

    PSI A17 + KH 750 ?

    Thnx !, sound like a big nono, using other monitors

    PSI A17 + KH 750 ?

    Bummer, I was hoping all there was to it, was adjusting frequencies and delays in the KH750, since this seemed to work with the KH310, also not a 'smart' monitor. But if it's more complicated, it's not worth the risk

    PSI A17 + KH 750 ?

    Hi, does anyone happen to know if the KH 750 sub + MA1 can manage successful any analog monitor ? I'm wondering if the PSI A17 + KH 750 would make a good couple, since the A17 is all analog, but I do prefer room EQ + phase correction. Kind regards, Michiel
