Does anyone know if the Neumann KH120 or active studio monitors in general are direct coupled or capacitor coupled? As far I understand in the latter case DC signals will not pass through to the woofers. I wonder what to take care of when doing sound design.

The presence of an infrasonic filter (high pass filter with a corner frequency of 30 Hz, 6 dB/oct) will mean that it is not DC coupled.

Thanks, but does this mean that DC above 30Hz comes through? What would happen if i send a DC signal of 0dB to my interface? Will this even go to the speakers?
