Neumann KH 870 G Active Subwoofer with 7.1 Bass Management

Notify me when this product is available:

The KH 870 is an answer to the demands by offering a 7.1 High Definition Bass Manager™. The flexibility of this bypassable 7.1 bass manager means it is also compatible with all standard consumer formats from mono through to the latest 7.1 HD systems.

Eight channels of analog ensure flexible interconnectivity for modern studios. Four-mode LFE-channel processing guarantees compatibility across all formats and industries. Forth-order crossovers and flexible acoustical controls allow for seamless system integration. Built-in volume control and a hardware remote control allow for centralized system control independent of the source, and the electronics can be remotely located to reduce cabling. From Mono to 3D, there are uses for the KH 870 in many different system configurations.

Features

  • Bass extension for loudspeakers down to 18 Hz
  • Increasing the maximum SPL of loudspeakers by up to 8 dB
  • Decreasing harmonic and intermodulation distortion of loudspeakers
  • Reproducing the LFE channel
  • Reproducing the “Sub” signal of a bass managed multichannel source
  • Making a Plane Wave Bass Array™ system
  • Working as an extension for KH line subwoofer systems

Computer mechanically modeled cabinet design using Low resonance Integral Molding™ (LRIM™) materials

  • Wooden cabinet with a tough painted finish and high-density rubber isolating feet
  • Excellent self-damping properties lead to minimal cabinet resonances
  • No standing wave resonances inside the cabinet
  • Reduced cabinet resonances

In-house modeled long-throw composite sandwich cone bass driver with Extremely Linear Force Factor™ (ELFF™), magnetic shielding, flow-optimized die-cast basket, and robust built-in grille

  • Damping of break up modes brings low distortion at high sound levels
  • Linear piston motor gives a very low harmonic distortion even at high excursions
  • Reduced air noise and improved rocking modes
  • Grille protects against mechanical damage

Large high-capacity flow-optimized bass reflex ports

  • Fast bass transient response
  • Reduced bass compression at high output levels
  • Can be flush mounted

XLR electronically balanced analogue inputs and outputs

  • Standard interfacing to professional equipment
  • Daisy chain output for subwoofer arrays

7.1 High Definition Bass Management

  • Compatible with all systems from mono to 3D
  • Bypassable 4th order 80 Hz active crossover for maximum compatibility with consumer reproduction systems
  • Allows main loudspeakers to play louder and with lower distortion

Remote control

  • NRC 1 and SEA 1 hardware remote control
  • RS-232 control possible

LFE gain

  • 0 and +10 dB

Four routing modes

  • LFE to the subwoofer and left/right
  • LFE to subwoofer only up to 80 Hz
  • LFE to subwoofer only up to 120 Hz
  • LFE to the subwoofer with no filtering – for daisy-chaining subwoofers and external signal processing systems

Wide range input gain and output level controls

  • Easier interfacing with signal sources

8-position phase control (with built-in test tone), continuous low cut control, and parametric equalizer

  • More control in diverse acoustical environments
  • A parametric equalizer is bypassable if not needed

Bass Management controls

  • Bypassable
  • Independent control of bass management bypass for front and back channels
  • System volume control on/off

Universal switched-mode power supply (100 … 240 V)

  • One version works in any country and is robust to the poor quality mains supply
  • Electronics can be remotely powered on with two modes of operation (0 V and 12 V triggers)

Ground lift

  • Reduced noise in electrically noisy environments and over-comes ground loops

Sum output

  • Larger systems and Plane Wave Bass Arrays™ may be constructed using the Sum output

Low heat dissipation amplifiers with large headroom and overheat limiting

  • Improved transient response
  • Assured reliability and safety

Separate fast-acting thermal limiter to protect the voice coil and power amplifier

  • Soft clip and excursion limiters
  • Increases system reliability
  • Allows extraction of the maximum performance from the system

Installation flexibility

  • Remote electronics (REK 3) for ease of installation, less cabling, and convenience of use
