Жайгашуу

1. Пакеттен чыгаруу жана жайгаштыруу

Carefully remove the monitor from its packaging. Ensure the monitor is placed on a stable, flat surface, ideally at ear level in your listening environment. For optimal stereo imaging, position the monitors symmetrically and equidistant from the listening position.

2. Мониторду туташтыруу

The KH 120 II offers various connectivity options. Connect your audio source to the monitor's input. The monitor supports both analog and digital inputs.

• Аналогдук киргизүү: Use a balanced XLR cable to connect your audio interface or mixer to the analog input.
• Санарип киргизүү: Utilize the S/PDIF coaxial input for digital audio signals.
• Кубат туташуу: Connect the supplied power cable to the "MAINS POWER" inlet on the rear panel and then to a suitable power outlet.
• Ethernet башкаруу: For advanced control and room correction using the Neumann MA 1 Automatic Alignment system, connect an Ethernet cable to the "ETHERNET CONTROL NETWORK" port.

3. Баштапкы күйгүзүү

After all connections are secure, switch the "ON" button on the rear panel to power on the monitor. A status indicator will illuminate, confirming the unit is operational.

Мониторду иштетүү

1. Негизги операция

Once powered on, the monitor is ready to receive audio signals. Adjust the volume from your audio source to a comfortable listening level. The KH 120 II is designed for accurate sound reproduction, so avoid excessively high volumes that could lead to hearing fatigue or damage.

2. Acoustic Controls

The rear panel features several acoustic control switches to adapt the monitor's response to your room acoustics. These include:

• Acoustical Controls (EQ): Adjustments for Bass, Low-Mid, and Treble to compensate for room modes and reflections.
• Output Level / Input Gain: Fine-tune the input sensitivity and overall output level to match your system.
• Жер көтөргүч: Use this switch to eliminate hum or ground loop noise if present.

Refer to the markings on the rear panel (Figure 2) for specific switch settings and their effects.

3. DSP Functionality and MA 1 Alignment

The integrated DSP engine allows for precise linear-phase crossovers, ensuring accurate time alignment between the woofer and tweeter. For advanced room correction and optimal performance, utilize the Neumann MA 1 Automatic Alignment system. This system, accessed via the Ethernet port, measures your room's acoustic properties and automatically calibrates the monitors for the most neutral frequency response and phase coherence.

Техникалык тейлөө

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Neumann KH 120 II monitors, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Тазалоо: Use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to wipe the cabinet. Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents, or waxes, as these can damage the finish. Do not spray liquids directly onto the monitor.
• Вентиляция: Ensure adequate airflow around the rear heat sink to prevent overheating. Do not block the ventilation slots.
• Сактагыч: If storing the monitors for an extended period, keep them in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original packaging or a protective case.
• Экологиялык шарттар: Avoid exposing the monitors to extreme temperatures, high humidity, or direct sunlight.
