Description

Its size and configuration classify the KH 420 as a midfield or main monitor for greater listening distances or mastering applications. Like the KH 310, the KH 420 has a three-way design, with a large 3″ midrange dome and a crossover at 2 kHz to a 1″ treble dome for higher frequencies. Both domes were developed in-house by Neumann and are manufactured exclusively for the company. In its external appearance, the KH 420 is
a massive, heavy loudspeaker. The outstanding workmanship and attention to detail can be clearly seen and felt.
The KH 420 is particularly well-suited for use in music, broadcast, and post production studios for tracking, mixing, and mastering. The KH 420 can be used free-standing or flush mounted into a wall, and, in multichannel systems, can be mixed freely with other loudspeakers in the range.
