imaging. The design is especially suitable<br />
to reproducing the human voice with great<br />
clarity, and the tweeter has an exceptionally<br />
low distortion per<strong>for</strong>mance. The fl exible<br />
acoustical controls permit a good sound<br />
quality even in less than ideal room<br />
acoustics.<br />
Each driver is powered by a highper<strong>for</strong>mance<br />
amplifi er that is exactly<br />
matched to the driver’s technical<br />
requirements. Precisely tuned electronic<br />
crossovers help provide proverbial<br />
operational reliability and high amplifi er<br />
output with minimal distortion. The monitor<br />
is equipped with sophisticated protection<br />
circuitry to protect the drivers from thermal<br />
overload or if a power amplifi er runs the<br />
risk of overheating.<br />
The monitor stands out not only <strong>for</strong> its<br />
sound but also <strong>for</strong> its attractive, modern<br />
design, and has received an international<br />
design award.<br />

Progress Built On Tradition<br />
In 1945 Horst Klein and Walter Hummel founded a company to develop the perfect devices<br />
<strong>for</strong> perfect sound reproduction. They assembled a team of specialists near Stuttgart: a team<br />
that has developed premium products <strong>for</strong> over sixty years. Since then, K+H has shown an<br />
unwavering pioneer spirit in achieving perfect sound reproduction. During this time the age<br />
of High Fidelity started, and it was realised that there was a demand <strong>for</strong> equipment that<br />
was meant to be the best. K+H was in a position to satisfy this demand as it had a company<br />
philosophy of designing products with perfect sound and product quality. Some of the<br />
pioneering designs were the world’s fi rst active loudspeaker “OY” (1967), the fi rst German<br />
ELA amplifi er (1958), and the “DELTA-8-Beschallungssystem”.<br />
Today Klein + Hummel creates the most modern studio and installation products,<br />
incorporating innovative solutions, manufactured with unquestionable quality, and with<br />
a deep commitment to continuing a long tradition of innovation. The name, products, and<br />
reputation live on as a part of the Sennheiser Group, which also consists of Sennheiser,<br />
Neumann, and Sennheiser Communications. A truly international marketing, sales, support,<br />
and service network ensures quality of delivery no matter where the products are used.<br />
Subwoofers Become More Sophisticated<br />
As consumer technology advances at<br />
ever-faster rates, professional technology<br />
increasingly fi nds itself trying to keep up.<br />
An example of this is the advent of Bluray<br />
and other high defi nition <strong>for</strong>mats that<br />
have increased the audio channel count<br />
to 7.1. The O 870 and O 810 are an answer<br />
to these new demands by offering a new<br />
7.1 High Defi nition Bass Manager (see<br />
box-out). The latest amplifi er technology<br />
and acoustical components have been<br />
used to ensure the most accurate sound<br />
reproduction possible. Robust drivers, a<br />
rock-solid cabinet, and carefully designed<br />
ports guarantee a tight, articulate, and<br />
distortion-free low frequency reproduction,<br />
even at high replay levels. Using the sum<br />

The O 870<br />
and O 810<br />
subwoofers<br />
are designed O 870, 2 x 10” Subwoofer<br />
to complement Klein + Hummel’s extensive<br />
range of monitors, and can be used on<br />
their own, or daisy-chained to make larger<br />
systems capable of higher SPL.<br />
