Neumann has expanded its three-way studio monitor portfolio with two new models built on a shared 32-bit DSP platform. The Neumann KH 310 II carries forward one of professional audio’s most trusted nearfield references, while the all-new KH 350 adds a larger, bass-reflex option for midfield and immersive rooms. Both monitors share the same 3-inch soft-dome midrange driver, 8.25-inch woofer and 585 W of amplification, and both support Neumann’s MA 1 Automatic Monitor Alignment for room-optimized playback. Together, Neumann says, they complete the KH family, from compact nearfield solutions to full-range reference monitoring.
Neumann KH 310 II: The Reference, Refined
The original KH 310 earned its reputation for accuracy, exceptional midrange clarity and precise low-frequency reproduction, and the Neumann KH 310 II keeps that sealed-cabinet architecture largely untouched on the outside. Internally, nearly everything has changed. A newly developed woofer, a redesigned amplifier platform and Neumann’s DSP engine combine for lower distortion, improved linearity and a 5 dB increase in maximum SPL over its predecessor. Production tolerances are tight enough to hold ±0.6 dB linearity from 100 Hz to 10 kHz, and identical cabinet dimensions mean the KH 310 II drops straight into existing KH 310 installations, or alongside Neumann’s smaller KH 150 nearfield monitor, without any retrofit headaches.
KH 350: Full-Range Authority for Midfield Rooms
Where the KH 310 II sharpens an existing reference, the KH 350 is an entirely new model, sized for larger control rooms and immersive setups. Its cabinet is nearly twice the size of the KH 310 II, and its bass-reflex design extends low-frequency response down to 27 Hz (±6 dB) for noticeably deeper headroom. A large Mathematically Modeled Dispersion waveguide keeps directivity tightly controlled across the full frequency range, which Neumann says preserves stable imaging at listening distances up to 3 metres. Positioned between the KH 310 II and the flagship KH 420, the KH 350 is built for film scoring, broadcast and LCR/surround duty as much as music production.
Shared DSP Platform and MA 1 Room Correction
Both monitors run on the same 32-bit DSP engine and connect via analog XLR or digital AES3id (BNC) inputs, plus an Ethernet port for Neumann’s MA 1 Automatic Monitor Alignment. MA 1 measures the room with a calibrated microphone and applies a room-adaptive target curve, so a Neumann KH 310 II or KH 350 pair, or a mixed set spanning the wider KH range, can be aligned consistently across stereo, surround and immersive setups without manual EQ guesswork.
Pricing and availability
Neumann has not published an official recommended retail price for the Neumann KH 310 II or the KH 350. Authorized dealers such as Thomann and Sweetwater are already listing the KH 310 II at roughly €2,999 / $2,999 per cabinet and the KH 350 at roughly €3,599 / $3,599 per cabinet, with both models shown as currently shipping. Buyers should confirm final regional pricing and lead times with a local Neumann dealer.
