■Product FeaturesThe system consists of an individually calibrated Neumann measurement microphone and corresponding software for Mac and PC.Neumann's Auto Monitor Alignment is available for all DSP-controlled stereo systems in the KH series (the current KH80 DSP, the subwoofer KH 750 DSP, and the analog studio monitors KH 120, KH 310, and KH 420 in combination with the KH 750). Neumann's decades of experience in calibrating studio monitoring systems is built into the software. Like a personal assistant, it guides the user step by step and analyzes the individual listening environment. The resulting correction data is stored and processed directly in the DSP-controlled monitors. *Please note that this cannot be used in conjunction with the Neumann Control iPad app. Reliable Monitoring Anywhere: Neumann Automatic Alignment is a dedicated tool for stereo setups consisting of KH 80 DSP monitors with or without KH 750 DSP and two non-DSP-based KH-Line monitors connected to the analog output of a KH 750 DSP subwoofer. Unlike traditional calibration software, this integrated solution features new algorithms developed specifically for Neumann studio monitors in collaboration with the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits (IIS). No plug-ins or special audio drivers are required. Alignment data is stored and processed within the DSP-equipped monitors themselves. A unique advantage is that the software not only optimizes the amplitude response, but also the phase. This ensures the highest accuracy in tonality and impulse reproduction. ●Operating Principle The first step is to collect acoustic data from your listening environment through a guided process. No special acoustic knowledge is required. Simply connect your Neumann monitors to the outputs of your audio interface or monitor controller. In addition, you will need to connect the DSP-based KH monitor speakers to your computer's Ethernet port. If you are connecting multiple devices, a standard Ethernet switch is required. Next, connect a measurement microphone, specially developed and individually calibrated for this software, to the microphone input. The software will guide you through the measurement process. From the measured data, the software determines the acoustic characteristics of the room. Individual correction parameters are generated according to the room-specific target characteristics calculated by the software. This process incorporates Neumann's decades of experience in calibrating monitoring systems in studio control rooms. Of course, you can also modify the target curve to suit your needs. Additionally, if you're using a subwoofer, the alignment process ensures optimal low-frequency harmony. All resulting correction parameters are stored and processed in the monitor with DSP, so you no longer have to worry about plugin or driver issues, and no additional cables are required - once the alignment process is complete, an Ethernet connection is no longer needed. The KH 750 DSP subwoofer also allows a stereo set of analog KH monitor speakers to be used with the Monitor Auto-Adjust software. The KH 750 DSP has enough processing power to align the entire system, including two analog speakers connected to its outputs. In addition, KH 120, KH 310, and KH 420 monitor speakers benefit from the phase linearization of the built-in crossover filters. The result is improved clarity, dry bass, and a more time-accurate depiction of reverb and acoustic space. ● Future plans MA 1 Automatic Monitor Alignment marks the beginning of a new era in monitoring. The current version delivers superior acoustic results in stereo setups, and the software's capabilities will be expanded incrementally with updates.
