KH 870 II

Subwoofer

From Neumann:

The KH 870 II is the perfect subwoofer for larger rooms, providing powerful bass extension with Neumann precision. It includes a unique and flexible Bass Manager for stereo, surround and immersive systems up to 7.1.4. Analog and digital outputs provide flexible connectivity to up to 11 studio monitors.

The KH 870 II improves on its predecessor in acoustic performance and adds new features. Thanks to two novel long-throw 10” woofers with Extremely Linear Force Factor (ELFF™) technology and intelligent protection limiters, the KH 870 II ensures exceptionally low distortion even at maximum SPLs.

The KH 870 II extends low frequency reproduction down to 16 Hz and delivers about twice the output of the KH 810 II. This makes the KH 870 II the perfect complement to midfield speakers such as the KH 420.
