Neumann - KH 80 DSP + HD 480 PRO Etui
This bundle combines the precision of stereo monitoring via the Neumann KH 80 DSP with the isolated listening experience of the Sennheiser HD 480 PRO Plus. It offers a comprehensive solution for checking a mix on both speakers and headphones, whilst including a dedicated case to protect the headphones during transport.
Composition of the package
Presentation
The two KH 80 DSPs serve as the main monitoring system and allow you to appreciate the structure of the mix within an open stereo field. Their DSP processing offers great flexibility for adjusting the sound to the room and achieving consistent reproduction, which is essential when making precise decisions about levels, frequencies or spatialisation.
The HD 480 PRO Plus complements this setup with a more isolated listening experience. Its closed-back design encourages focus on detail and allows you to check certain elements that are difficult to perceive when listening on speakers. It is particularly useful for checking unwanted noise, dynamic processing, effects, reverberation or minor flaws in a recording.
The value of the bundle therefore lies in this ability to compare two listening perspectives throughout the creative process. The speakers allow you to assess the overall sound and the relationships between the various sources, whilst the headphones provide a more direct environment for examining the details of the signal.
Finally, the case supplied with the HD 480 PRO Plus provides a storage and transport solution tailored to the headphones. The pack is therefore equally suited to a fixed installation and to a professional environment where some of the equipment needs to be moved regularly.
A combination designed for studios, control rooms, post-production facilities and audio production set-ups, featuring a main monitoring system via speakers and professional headphones for additional monitoring.
