2. Turvallisuustiedot

Please read and adhere to the following safety guidelines to ensure safe operation and prevent damage to the device or personal injury:

• Virtalähde: Liitä näyttö vain pistorasiaan, jonka jännitteenä on ilmoitettutage and frequency. Ensure the power cable is not damaged or pinched.
• Ilmanvaihto: Do not block ventilation openings. Ensure adequate airflow around the monitor to prevent overheating.
• Kosteus: Keep the monitor away from water, rain, and excessive humidity. Do not operate with wet hands.
• Puhdistus: Irrota virtajohto ennen puhdistamista. Käytä kuivaa, pehmeää liinaa. Älä käytä nestemäisiä tai aerosolipuhdistusaineita.
• Huolto: Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Do not attempt to open or repair the monitor yourself.
• Sijoitus: Place the monitor on a stable surface or stand to prevent it from falling.

3. Pakkauksen sisältö

Varmista, että pakkauksessa on kaikki tarvittavat osat:

• Neumann KH 120 II DSP Powered Studio Monitor (White)
• Virtakaapeli
• Pika-aloitusopas
• Turvallisuustiedote

4. Asennus

4.1 Sijoitus

Optimal placement is crucial for accurate monitoring. Position the monitors to form an equilateral triangle with your listening position. The tweeters should ideally be at ear level. Ensure there are no obstructions between the monitors and your ears. Avoid placing monitors directly against walls or in corners without proper acoustic treatment, as this can affect bass response.

4.2 Liitännät

The KH 120 II offers versatile connectivity options:

• XLR-tulo: For balanced audio connections from professional audio interfaces or mixing consoles.
• RCA-tulo: For unbalanced audio connections from consumer-grade equipment.
• 1/4'' TRS Input: For balanced or unbalanced audio connections from various sources.

Connect your audio source to the desired input on the rear panel of the monitor. Ensure all connections are secure before powering on.

4.3 Virtaliitäntä

Connect the provided power cable to the power inlet on the rear of the monitor and then to a suitable electrical outlet.

4.4 DSP and MA 1 Automatic Alignment

The KH 120 II features an onboard DSP for advanced acoustic control. For optimal room correction and alignment, utilize the Neumann MA 1 Automatic Alignment system (sold separately). This system measures your room acoustics and calibrates the monitors for the most accurate sound reproduction.

5. Käyttöohjeet

5.1 Virta päälle/pois

Locate the power switch on the rear panel of the monitor. Flip the switch to the 'ON' position to power on the monitor. The Neumann logo on the front will illuminate. To power off, flip the switch to the 'OFF' position.

5.2 Äänenvoimakkuuden säätö

Adjust the output volume using the volume control knob, typically found on your audio interface or mixing console. The KH 120 II monitors are designed for flat frequency response, so avoid using external EQ unless specifically for room correction or creative mixing purposes.

5.3 DSP-ominaisuudet

The integrated DSP allows for precise control over various acoustic parameters, including EQ settings. These settings can be accessed and adjusted via compatible Neumann software or hardware, enabling fine-tuning for your specific listening environment and preferences.

6. Huolto

6.1 Puhdistus

To clean the monitor, first disconnect it from the power supply. Use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to wipe down the exterior surfaces. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or waxes, as these can damage the finish or components. Avoid spraying liquids directly onto the monitor.

6.2 Varastointi

When not in use for extended periods, store the monitor in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. If possible, use the original packaging for protection during storage or transport.

7. Vianmääritys

If you encounter issues with your Neumann KH 120 II monitor, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Ei ääntä:
  • Ensure the monitor is powered on and the power cable is securely connected.
  • Check audio cable connections from your source to the monitor.
  • Verify the audio source is active and outputting sound.
  • Confirm volume levels on both the source and the monitor are not set to minimum.
• Vääristynyt ääni:
  • Reduce the input level from your audio source to prevent clipping.
  • Tarkista, onko äänikaapeleissa vaurioita.
  • Ensure the monitor is not placed too close to walls or corners, which can cause bass buildup.
• Hurina tai suriseva ääni:
  • Ensure all audio cables are properly shielded and connected.
  • Tarkista maadoitussilmukat; kokeile kytkeä kaikki äänilaitteet samaan jatkojohtoon.
  • Siirrä näyttö pois muiden elektronisten laitteiden läheltä, jotka saattavat aiheuttaa häiriöitä.

If the issue persists after attempting these solutions, please contact Neumann customer support or a qualified service technician.
