The Neumann KH 420 G is the gold standard in the midfield range and this Neumann KH 420 G is designed for a working distance of 1.5 to 3 m (5' to 9'). Neumann KH 420 G can also handles this space effortlessly so thanks to great power reserves and precisely concentrated dispersion. Even in diverse acoustical environments the Neumann KH 420 G remains neutral and very clear in every detail down to the subtest nuances. No subtlety is lost; every sound element can be localized. The Neumann KH 420 G is a three-way tri-amplified monitor with thermally protected Class AB amplifiers (330 W and two times 140 W). Just like the drivers, the Neumann KH 420 G has Mathematically Modeled Dispersion™ (MMD™) waveguide is engineered for optimum precision. The sound of the Neumann KH 420 G is distributed in a horizontally precise manner to ensures flexibility in the listening position; the narrower vertical dispersion reduces the negative effects of nearby reflections, for example from desk or mixing console. Also, the dispersion of the Neumann KH 420 G is diberately designed to be narrower, to guarantee reference sound at longer working distances.
