Always have the product mounted by a qualified specialist according to local, national and international regulations and standards . Use the mounting systems recommended by Neumann and always provide sufficient addi- tional protection against tipping or dropping by means of safety wires .
. For information on building a balanced system, please refer to the “Product Selection Guide” at www .neumann .com . The Neumann .Control software must be used to set up multiple subwoofer systems . KH 750 DSP | 7...
If you set up several subwoofers, you can utilize their mutual coupling to achieve an acoustical acoustical gain gain . The following acoustical gains are possible: Number of subwoofers Acoustical gain 0 .0 dB 6 .0 dB 9 .5 dB 12 .0 dB KH 750 DSP | 8...
The default signal selection is analog . If a valid digital signal is connected to the digital input this digital signal is automatically selected . In Neumann .Control it is possible to select between automatic signal switching, analog or digital .

Connect the digital AES3 or S/P-DIF-output signal of your audio source to the DIGITAL INPUT socket 0 of the respective KH 750 DSP . See picture below . The KH 750 DSP subwoofer only supports non-encoded AES3 and S/P-DIF sig- nals .

For a simplified representation, the following connection examples show loudspeakers in com- bination with the KH 750 DSP subwoofer . Each of the examples only shows one possible com- bination of loudspeakers and subwoofers . For information on building a balanced system, please refer to the “Product Selection Guide”...

Ethernet cable (Cat 5 or better) . The maximum length of the cable is 100 m . Refer to the Neumann .Control software help for information about how to use subwoofers in a network .
. The subwoofer mutes immediately when it is switched off . There is a five second delay before sound can be heard from the KH 750 DSP and the loudspeakers connected to the outputs in order to avoid noises (pops) from preceding equipment switched on at the same time .

AUTO STANDBY switch If the AUTO STANDBY switch G has been set to ON, the KH 750 DSP will switch to standby after 90 minutes without an input signal . Standby means that the network interface, signal processing circuitry and power amplifiers are all powered down .
To do so, choose one of the following methods: Alignment using Neumann .Control: It is highly recommended to use Neumann .Control to calibrate the loudspeakers and subwoofer in the room . Download the software and choose an Alignment method that suits your circumstances: Precision, Guided, Manual .

. The acoustical axis is located at the midpoint of the KH 750 DSP’s bass driver . Note that the subwoofer emits very low frequencies which are emitted omnidirectionally . That is why the orientation of the subwoofer cabinet in the room does not matter .

SPL at 1 m Acoustical Neumann subwoofers are designed to have a flat pass band magnitude response in anechoic condi- response tions when all the acoustical controls are set to 0 dB . When a subwoofer is installed into a listening environment the response changes and thus should be corrected back to a flat response .

Signal rout- For both analog and digital signals, the KH 750 DSP has two input and two output channels: LEFT / A and RIGHT / B . After the electronically balanced or digital input stages, there are two 4th order 80 Hz high pass filters for the main channels followed by two electronically balanced and digital output stages .
