KH 310 II and KH 350 Studio Monitors Revealed

Neumann has announced two new three-way studio monitors, the Neumann KH 310 II and KH 350 studio monitors, designed as advanced reference monitors. The KH 310 II is the second generation of the KH 310 and continues as a leading reference monitor. The KH 350 is positioned between the KH 310 II and the KH 420 flagship. Both models share the same acoustic DNA and commitment to truthful sound reproduction.

Both models are built on a platform of in-house drivers and 32-bit DSP processing and each speaker features analogue and AES3 coaxial digital connectivity. They integrate with Neumann’s MA 1 Automatic Monitor Alignment room correction solution. The KH 310 II employs a 3″ soft dome midrange driver, a 1″ tweeter and an 8.25″ woofer and offers 5 dB higher maximum SPL than the original KH 310. The KH 350 provides low-frequency playback down to 27 Hz and its cabinet is nearly twice the size of the KH 310 II.

Both the Neumann KH 310 II and KH 350 studio monitors use a three-way acoustic configuration and are built on a platform of Neumann in-house drivers paired with 32-bit DSP processing. Each model provides both analogue and AES3 coaxial digital inputs for signal connectivity. The monitors integrate with Neumann’s MA 1 Automatic Monitor Alignment room correction solution for measured room compensation. The KH 310 II and KH 350 are presented as sharing the same acoustic DNA and commitment to truthful sound reproduction.

The KH 310 II employs a dedicated three-way driver array that includes a 3″ soft dome midrange driver, a 1″ tweeter, and an 8.25″ woofer. This driver complement is used to deliver midrange clarity, high-frequency detail, and controlled low-frequency output within a compact cabinet design. The KH 310 II achieves a 5 dB higher maximum SPL versus the original KH 310. The model continues the KH 310 lineage as the second generation of that reference monitor.

The KH 350 is configured as a larger three-way monitor designed to extend low-frequency capability, providing reproduction down to 27 Hz. Its cabinet volume is nearly twice that of the KH 310 II, supporting greater low-end authority and bandwidth. The KH 350 is positioned between the KH 310 II and Neumann’s KH 420 flagship within the product range. Both the KH 350 and KH 310 II are intended to offer reference-caliber monitoring across nearfield and midfield environments.

The Neumann KH 310 II and KH 350 studio monitors offer distinct performance characteristics and are intended for various use cases within the studio environment. The KH 310 II, as the second generation of the KH 310, delivers a notable performance improvement, achieving a 5 dB higher maximum sound pressure level (SPL) than its predecessor. This makes it suitable for engineers looking for accurate sound reproduction with added output capacity. The KH 310 II is ideal for tasks that require precise sound translation and is used widely in recording, mixing, and mastering tasks.

On the other hand, the KH 350 is designed to provide deeper low-frequency playback, reaching down to 27 Hz, making it well-suited for applications requiring enhanced low-end authority. The KH 350 slots between the KH 310 II and the KH 420 flagship model in Neumann’s product lineup. Its larger cabinet size brings midfield speaker capabilities closer to the user, allowing it to handle environments where both nearfield and midfield monitoring are required. Both models are equipped with advanced signal processing and connectivity features and integrate with Neumann’s room correction technology, ensuring they meet diverse studio needs with a consistent reference standard.

“The KH 310 has earned an exceptional reputation among recording, mixing, and mastering engineers worldwide.”

“With the KH 310 II, we worked long and hard to retain everything users love about the original while elevating performance in virtually every area. At the same time, the KH 350 opens new possibilities for engineers who need greater low-frequency authority and the flexibility to work confidently across both nearfield and midfield environments.”

“The KH 310 II and KH 350 share the same acoustic DNA and commitment to truthful sound reproduction.”

“Today’s engineers work across a wide range of rooms, formats, and production styles. Our goal was to provide two solutions that deliver the same trusted reference standard while allowing users to choose the monitoring concept that best supports their workflow.”

Technical specifications: Neumann KH 310 II and KH 350 studio monitors — three-way configuration, in-house drivers and 32-bit DSP processing

Neumann has released two three-way studio monitors, the KH 310 II and the KH 350. Both models are built on a platform of in-house drivers and 32-bit DSP processing, and each speaker offers analogue and AES3 coaxial digital connectivity while integrating with Neumann’s MA 1 Automatic Monitor Alignment room correction solution. The KH 310 II is presented as the second generation of the KH 310 and the KH 350 is positioned between the KH 310 II and the KH 420 flagship. The two models are described as sharing the same acoustic DNA and as advanced reference monitors.

The KH 310 II uses a three-way driver array that includes a 3" soft dome midrange driver, a 1" tweeter and an 8.25" woofer and it offers a higher maximum SPL than the original KH 310. The KH 350 extends low-frequency playback down to 27 Hz and its cabinet is nearly twice the size of the KH 310 II. Both monitors combine Neumann driver design, DSP processing, connectivity options and MA 1 integration to present a consistent reference standard for nearfield and midfield monitoring.
