{"product_id":"neumann-kh-310-ii-l-436922","title":"KH 310 II L","description":"\u003ch3\u003eFrom Klein plus Hummel to Neumann: The 3-Way Legacy, Modernized for 2026\u003c\/h3\u003eThe KH 310 II is part of a very special history: that of active 3-way monitors popularized as early as 1967 by Klein \u0026 Hummel, a legacy that Neumann has evolved without ever compromising on the essentials. With this new generation, the goal is clear: to maintain the sense of neutrality and \"effortless\" playback that made the KH 310 A famous, while pushing the platform further thanks to a modern DSP architecture, better unit-to-unit coherence, and improved measured performance.\u003cbr \/\u003eAs the \u003cstrong\u003eLEFT\u003c\/strong\u003e version, this monitor is intended to serve as the left channel of a stereo pair or a multichannel system. This is an important point in immersive setups, where predictability from one speaker to another and image stability are as crucial as the frequency response curve.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho Is the KH 310 II LEFT Designed For?\u003c\/h3\u003eThe Neumann KH 310 II LEFT targets studios that require \u003cstrong\u003ecritical monitoring\u003c\/strong\u003e in \u003cstrong\u003emedium to large spaces\u003c\/strong\u003e, without compromise on translation. It excels in \u003cstrong\u003erecording\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003emusic production\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003epost-production\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003ebroadcast\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003emastering\u003c\/strong\u003e, as well as in \u003cstrong\u003eimmersive audio\u003c\/strong\u003e configurations (Dolby Atmos and other formats), where tonal coherence and localization precision are decisive.\u003cbr \/\u003eIf you work on fine decisions (low-mid balance, vocal intelligibility, reverb placement, music bus density, master dynamics), the 3-way design allows for stable playback at various listening levels, with clear separation of frequency bands. The result: fewer doubts, less backtracking, and mixes that \"hold up\" better on a wide range of systems.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat Really Changes: DSP, ELFF, and Increased Performance\u003c\/h3\u003eThe KH 310 II is not just a cosmetic update: almost every element has been optimized. However, Neumann has retained a cornerstone, its \u003cstrong\u003e3-inch soft dome midrange driver\u003c\/strong\u003e, renowned for its tonal quality and precision. It is often in this range (where vocals, guitars, snares, presence reside) that a monitor reveals itself, and this is precisely where the KH 310 built its legend.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003ch4\u003eMore Headroom, Less Distortion, More Confidence\u003c\/h4\u003eThanks to high-efficiency Class D amplification and an advanced limiter structure, the KH 310 II delivers more power than the previous generation: \u003cstrong\u003e300 W\u003c\/strong\u003e for the woofer (versus 210 W), \u003cstrong\u003e160 W\u003c\/strong\u003e for the midrange (versus 90 W), and \u003cstrong\u003e125 W\u003c\/strong\u003e for the tweeter (versus 90 W). In practice, this translates to \u003cstrong\u003eextra margin\u003c\/strong\u003e on peaks and more composed performance when the session gets dense, without hardening the listening experience.\u003cbr \/\u003eNeumann also announces a \u003cstrong\u003ereduced total harmonic distortion\u003c\/strong\u003e across the entire frequency range, as well as a \u003cstrong\u003e5 dB higher SPL level\u003c\/strong\u003e (measured in half-space and free-field) compared to the current KH 310. This is exactly the kind of improvement that makes a difference in control rooms: decisions remain clear at realistic levels, without the low end becoming muddy or the highs becoming harsh.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003ch4\u003eELFF: Cleaner Bass Even at High Excursion\u003c\/h4\u003eThe 8.25-inch woofer adopts \u003cstrong\u003eELFF\u003c\/strong\u003e technology, designed to achieve \u003cstrong\u003eextremely low distortion\u003c\/strong\u003e, even when excursion increases. Add to this an \u003cstrong\u003eincreased linear excursion\u003c\/strong\u003e and reduced intermodulation distortion: the low end stays clear, kicks retain their definition, and complex basses (808s, synths, controlled subs) settle faster.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003ch4\u003e32-bit DSP and MA 1: A Monitor That Integrates With Your Room\u003c\/h4\u003eThe KH 310 II features a \u003cstrong\u003efull 32-bit DSP signal chain\u003c\/strong\u003e: precise system alignment, advanced processing, and compatibility with \u003cstrong\u003eMA 1 automatic alignment\u003c\/strong\u003e. The benefit is twofold: on one hand, you exploit the monitor's full potential in real environments (even treated, no room is perfect)\u0026#59; on the other hand, you get a consistent baseline to transition from stereo to multichannel without \"coloring\" each speaker differently.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAnalog and AES3id Inputs: Ready for Modern Workflows\u003c\/h4\u003eWith its \u003cstrong\u003eanalog\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eAES3id (BNC) digital inputs\u003c\/strong\u003e, the KH 310 II LEFT connects equally well to traditional chains and more broadcast- or post-production-oriented setups. This flexibility, combined with \u003cstrong\u003eimproved unit-to-unit consistency\u003c\/strong\u003e, facilitates building predictable multichannel systems and a highly precise stereo image.\u003cbr \/\u003eFinally, good news for studios already equipped: the \u003cstrong\u003eexternal dimensions remain identical\u003c\/strong\u003e to those of the KH 310 A. You keep your integration constraints (furniture, stands, placement) while upgrading to a more powerful generation.\u003cbr \/\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical
