A few months ago it was announced that Neumann would add studio monitors to its product portfolio. This range is based on the products of the Klein + Hummel company.
Wolfgang Fraissinet, president of marketing/sales at Neumann Berlin says, "In the history of the company, Neumann stands for far more than microphone technology. Over the decades we have also produced record-cutting equipment and studio consoles, for example. Our expertise in transformer design - for the microphone - as well as in signal processing and digital audio technology, has already been demonstrated. In addition Neumann has a leading role in the area of high technology, which is successfully implemented, for instance, in the digital microphones of the Solution-D series."
Existing studio monitors are being incorporated into the Neumann product portfolio as the 'KH Line'. Over time, new products will be developed. Later this year, the first new studio monitors carrying the Neumann label will be launched.
