General
Neumann is perhaps best known for its legendary studio microphones, however, this German manufacturer's studio monitors are also top quality. If you want to cover the broadest sound spectrum possible, a subwoofer like the Neumann KH 805 should be part of your studio monitor setup. This active studio subwoofer has a frequency range of 18 Hz - 300 Hz (+/- 3 dB). Specifications like that and Neumann's reputation for top-quality products mean that this model should be seriously considered for use by professional music studios. In particular, studios that mix or master music for the games, television and film industries will benefit from the accurate sound reproduction of the lowest frequencies.
Features of the Neumann KH 805
Sound is delivered by a 10-inch woofer that is driven by a 160-watt RMS (200-watt peak) amplifier. On the back of the KH 805 you will find a number of controls, as well as inputs and outputs. As you would expect on a subwoofer of this quality, all of the inputs and outputs are XLR. The daisy chain output allows you to send the signal to another subwoofer. The signal's phase can be adjusted and you can also change the functionality of the right input channel. A parametric equalizer (gain, Q, frequency) is also present with which you can offset any negative influences your listening area might have.

Wrote the following about Neumann KH 805 active studio subwoofer
I used to use Genelec 1029 with a large Genelec sub - I don't think it had phase align or so many controls, or such good placement and setup instructions. It never sounded right to me in my setup.
I am not sure whether a cheaper unit would have sounded just as good though with the KH120 in my current room though as I haven't tried, and that is the actual question I wondered when I bought these.
The reason I gave 4 instead of 5 starts are because of the following:
- expensive, even with BAXs great discount
- There is no indicator light on the front that the sub is powered up (the white logo does not illuminate like the KH120's, and the green power light is on the back)
- placement is recommended to be soffit fitted or near a wall, but all the controls are on the back!!!! Apart from the power button and the light, you also need to access and see the large array of controls to set it up. This is very inconvenient.
Overall I am extremely pleased with the unit though.

Dankzij de geavanceerde parameters van de 805 is het mogelijk om de sub goed in een dergelijke keten te integreren. Hij is niet opdringerig of hard, gewoon een zeer goede frequentie-uitbreiding voor het hele spectrum.
Voor de prijs krijg je een zeer degelijke en clean klinkende sub maar je moet de ruimte hebben omdat hij erg groot is.
