Neumann DSP-Powered Studio Monitor KH 150
Neumann has expanded its line of reference-class studio monitors with the KH 150 . The bi-amplified , DSP-controlled loudspeaker features the same highresolution tweeter as all Neumann studio monitors and a newly-developed 6.5-in . woofer with lower distortion and high SPL capability .
Despite its rather compact format , the KH 150 boasts enhanced clarity , even at high volume , and extended low-end , the company says . The KH 150 has a flat frequency response from 39 Hz to 21 kHz (± 3 dB ) and is recommended for all applications from broadcast to music production . Including styles that require a powerful , deep low-end and / or elevated listening levels such as urban music , EDM , and film scoring .
Neumann engineers developed a patent-pending amplifier technology which combines improved audio performance with the energy efficiency of Class D . Although the KH 150 ’ s amplifiers deliver up to 145 W to the 6.5-in . woofer and 100 W to the 1-in . tweeter , they only consume 17W at idle . Auto-standby reduces power consumption to 0.3W when the KH 150 has not been used for a while , but can be deactivated .

Sound Particles Spatial Music Plug-In Bundle
3D audio software company Sound Particles has released the Spatial Music Bundle , a plug-in bundle for mixing music in immersive . This new bundle is an ideal toolkit to mix music in spatial and includes five plug-ins : Energy Panner , Brightness Panner , Space Controller
Studio , Density , and the newest product , Air | Music Edition .
Density creates various layers of sounds based on the input . With Space Controller , users can easily pan sounds in surround and immersive by connecting their mobile device to a DAW , using it as a movement reader and pan the sounds to where they ’ re pointing . Brightness Panner makes panning easier , by applying movement to sounds using Brightness analysis . Energy Panner uses the intensity of a sound to control its movement , enabling users to add dynamic depth to their panning techniques without any effort or additional routing . Doppler is a professional plug-in for sound design and audio post-production . It ’ s ideal for simulating the physical behavior of sound moving through the air , turning a mix into an immersive sonic experience . With the Air plug-in , users can simulate distance through high frequency attenuation .
