The Neumann KH 805 is easily one of the priciest studio subwoofers, so it's not for the weak of heart when it comes to budget, but those who are willing to invest in the KH 805 will enjoy its premium build, sound quality and control flexibility.

It features a 10" woofer that's magnetically shielded for ultra-quiet and clean lows, while the 160W (Continuous) amplifier provides enough juice for use in any home and professional studio setups.

Other features include a bypassable fourth order 80Hz for easy compatibility with recording consoles and consumer sound systems, and it also has a good number of acoustic controls for adapting to rooms and matching with main monitors.
