Kali Audio IN-5, 5 Inch, 3-way Powered Studio Monitor, White

Full Description

A speaker with the benefits of three-way monitor design

The innovative design of the IN-5 means the mid-range and tweeter are combined using hyper-realistic imaging, providing all the advantages of three-way monitor design. Because of this, the IN-5 monitor provides an incredibly accurate soundstage for mixing.

Kali’s LP-8 monitor was a huge success and the same woofer and tweeter are used in the IN-5’s. The IN-5 adds a midrange that surrounds the tweeter. Acting as its waveguide, the result is a speaker with frequencies arriving more accurately at the ear. This can have a positive impact on your mixing and allow you to mix for longer.

Superb stereo image

By using the mid-range speaker as a waveguide, the stereo image of the IN-5 is extremely accurate. The waveguide determines the horizontal and vertical coverage of the monitor. When working on studio monitors, this stereo image is crucial for your workflow and helps create a mix that will correspond well on other devices. Three-way monitors, like the IN-5, create a superb stereo image by ensuring no frequency information is lost, creating a much more accurate sound for the listener.

Low distortion for defined lows and highs

The three-way design of the IN-5’s allows for a low crossover of 280Hz on the bass woofer. This lowers the workload on the five-inch woofer, resulting in less distortion and an extended low-range to 39Hz. Similarly, the crossover for the tweeter is 3kHz. This reduces distortion in the high frequencies and produces a natural sound with extreme clarity. A low noise port tube located beneath the woofer helps create powerful lows without intrusive port noise.

Optimise your monitor setup

Speaker position can dramatically affect both performance and accuracy. The Boundary EQ control on the IN-5 helps you achieve the optimum sound for your studio. Easy to follow instructions located on the back of the IN-5 ensure this process takes little time. Low and high frequency trims can also be utilised to ensure your IN-5 is optimised for the setting.

Connection to your monitors can be done via balanced XLR or TRS inputs. An unbalanced RCA input can be set to -10dB sensitivity for quick connection to smartphones and laptops.
