Neumann Monitor Alignment Kit 1

The Beginning of a New Era in Monitoring

Algorithms derived from decades of experience in aligning monitors Individually calibrated measurement microphone Room adaptive target curve For stereo setups with network-enabled Neumann monitors and any analog Neumann monitors using KH 750 subwoofers For multichannel setups with Multichannel Extension license For Mac and PC

Important Information Please note: After the alignment process, the MA 1 software stores the correction data in the monitors or in the subwoofer. In addition, both the hardware setup and the alignment(s) created are saved in the software and can be changed later if required. Another continuous connection to the computer is only required if the loudspeaker setup is to be controlled via the MA 1 during operation. This includes level settings, bass management (if a subwoofer is connected) and setup or alignment changes. Therefore, no Ethernet connection to the computer is required for further operation of the aligned system. Currently, the data stored in the loudspeaker(s) cannot be recalled or changed, once the software is closed. The calibration procedure must be started from the beginning and repeated.

The following currently applies: If the loudspeakers were previously adjusted using the Neumann.Control iPad app, their correction data will be overwritten by an alignment with the MA 1 software. If you open the Neumann.Control iPad app again, the last data stored in the app is sent to the loudspeakers, thus overwriting the correction data generated by the MA 1. Alignment settings are made via the MA 1 software. Other parameters (e.g. mute, delay ...) cannot currently be controlled by the MA 1 software. The MA 1 software does not include Guided Alignment or Manual Alignment like on the Neumann.Control iPad app.

Peripheral Equipment

• Neumann MA 1 measurement microphone

• PC or MAC

• Screen resolution of 1280 - 720 px or higher

• Audio interface with:

• 1x balanced analog mic input with 48 V phantom power.

• Audio output channels equal to or greater than the number of network-enabled loudspeakers and subwoofers used in the monitoring system. Outputs may be balanced analog, S/PDIF (KH 120 II or KH 150 loudspeakers only), or AES3 (KH 750 subwoofer only).

• Network switch offering a number of free sockets equal to or greater than the total number of loudspeakers and subwoofers employed in the monitoring system. Each loudspeaker and subwoofer should be connected from its Primary network socket to a free socket in the network switch.
