Loud, full and accurate sound
These monitors are great if you have a large studio and you want to fill it with sound. The HR824mk2 speakers are able to pump out a lot of volume without losing any clarity. The sound is also very accurate. The highs are very clean and airy, revealing every detail of the music. The mids are warm full and very natural while the bass has great depth and punch, but does not get overpowering.

Con
Cabinet is large and heavy
You might have difficulty positioning these speakers if your studio space is limited. The speaker cabinet is large and heavy so setting these up optimally can be a challenge.

Vertical connectors
These speakers can easily be mounted flush against the wall if that’s what your setup requires. The cables do not stick out from the back of the speakers horizontally. Instead, the cable connectors are vertical, so there will be no cable obstructions between the wall and the speaker.

Con
Bass is slightly boosted
Some consider the bass to be a bit too powerful for their tastes. You can reduce this by using the Low Frequency Cut switch.

You’ll be able to get the optimal sound for your room
It’ll be easier for you to get the most accurate audio performance from these speakers regardless of your room setup. There is an Acoustic Space switch at the back of the speakers which correspond to how you position the speakers. Each setting has an illustration at the back of the speaker, minimizing the guesswork as to which one is best for you.

Very accurate and detailed sound
If you are looking for accurate audio representation, then these do deliver. The KH 120 A monitors are flat sounding and reveal every detail of the music. The highs are very clear and airy. The mids are natural and full-sounding, while the bass has great depth and punch but never gets bloated, even with bass heavy tracks.

Con
Only one XLR input
Connecting multiple source devices to the KH 120 A can be a bit difficult, as there is only one XLR in connection. You may also need special cables or adapters if your source devices do not have XLR outs.

Excellent build quality
These speakers will last many years of use. Instead of wood, the outer casing of the KH 120 A is made from aluminum. These are very durable and feel premium too.

Can be positioned flush against the wall
You can push these speakers up against the wall if needed. The input and power connectors are vertical and so don't stick out beyond the frame of the speakers.
