Neumann's KH 120 II is a 5.25-inch active reference monitor with onboard DSP and Automatic Monitor Alignment. Each cabinet self-amplifies and accepts both a balanced 3-pin XLR analog input and a coaxial S/PDIF digital input on RCA, with an S/PDIF output for cascading the signal to a second speaker or subwoofer. Connect the XLR to an interface, or feed S/PDIF straight from a digital source. The separate KH 120 II AES67 SKU swaps in redundant 100BASE-TX network ports; the standard model covered here does not have them.
