The Kali Audio IN-5 Studio Monitor features an incredibly accurate, lifelike stereo image. This combined with the clarity of the speakers, make it extremely easy to build a complete, detailed picture of your mix allowing you to dial in precisely the sound you want.
The IN-5 features a 5-inch woofer, a 4-inch mid-range driver, and a 1-inch soft dome tweeter. The mid-range driver and the tweeter are coincident, meaning that they share the same acoustic center. You might have heard the terms “coaxial” or “concentric” to describe this arrangement. Those terms are technically correct as well. Because of the coincident placement of the mid-range and tweeter, and the crossover of the woofer to the mid-range (280 Hz,) the IN-5 is an acoustic point source. This gives it an ideal directivity characteristic for a studio monitor. You will be able to hear a very lifelike stereo image, with details placed clearly and consistently. Off-axis lobing that is unavoidable in a 2-way system is virtually eliminated with the IN58.
Substantial work was done to optimize the mid-range driver not only for its own acoustic performance, but also for its role as the waveguide for the tweeter. The shape is very precise to allow for controlled directivity at mid-range to tweeter crossover, ensuring accurate summing both on and off-axis. Excursion on the midrange is limited to less than 1mm peak to peak, so that the oscillation of the mid-range does not have a negative effect on the tweeter. The first in Kali’s “2nd Wave” of loudspeakers, the IN-5 features a Class-D amp with a 12 dB reduction in self noise, an upgraded DSP section, and upgraded transducers for better reliability. On top of this, the IN-5 incorporates all of the benefits of Kali's Lone Pine series monitors. These include optimized woofers for powerful, clean bass, a front-firing port tube, and boundary compensation EQs.
Kali Audio IN-5 Studio Monitor Features
- Coaxial 3-Way Design: The 1-inch tweeter is centered within the 4-inch midrange driver, which is itself surrounded by the 5-inch woofer. This coaxial architecture minimizes lobing, leading to more consistent sound off-axis and a focused, detailed soundstage.
- Transparent Sound: The IN-5 provides a ruler-flat frequency response and negligible distortion, allowing you to hear every detail of your mix without coloration or artificial enhancements.
- Front-Firing Port: The front-facing port tube is optimized for powerful, clean bass and allows for placement close to a wall without producing problematic thumping sounds.
- Boundary Compensation EQs: Integrated EQ settings help adjust the sound based on the monitor's placement in the room, ensuring a flat and accurate response in various acoustic environments.
- Class D Amplifier: A built-in Class D amplifier provides accurate, clean, and powerful amplification with low heat generation and low self-noise, making the speaker practically silent during operation.
- Versatile Inputs: The monitor features balanced XLR and TRS inputs, as well as an unbalanced RCA input, for flexible connectivity.
