Frequently Asked Questions
It's far more sophisticated, allowing for precise routing and filtering of low frequencies to multiple monitors, minimizing phase issues and optimizing room response.
Absolutely; it allows for system-wide volume adjustments without physically touching the subwoofer, especially valuable in larger control rooms or for collaborative sessions.
The KH 870 offers a uniquely clean and neutral response, often preferred over subwoofers with more 'character' – it's about accuracy, not coloration.
