Know before you buy
The KH 310 A is specifically designated as a left-channel monitor. To create a standard stereo monitoring system, you will need to pair it with the corresponding right-channel version.
The MMD waveguide is designed to provide a wide, smooth horizontal dispersion and a controlled vertical dispersion. This helps maintain a consistent sound image even if you move slightly while mixing, and it reduces reflections from your desk or console.
The monitor features built-in controls that allow you to compensate for common acoustic issues, such as bass buildup from wall proximity or high-frequency reflections. These settings help you achieve a flatter, more neutral frequency response tailored to your specific studio environment.
Yes, by using separate amplifiers for the woofer, midrange driver, and tweeter, the monitor can handle complex audio signals with greater precision. This design reduces intermodulation distortion and provides better clarity across the entire frequency spectrum compared to a two-way system.
Yes, the KH 310 A is compatible with a wide range of mounting hardware. This flexibility allows you to integrate the monitors into various studio configurations, including surround sound setups or rooms with limited floor space.
The monitor includes professional-grade analog inputs, allowing for seamless integration with standard studio interfaces and mixing consoles. Please check your specific audio interface outputs to ensure compatibility with the monitor's input configuration.
