Kali in-5 and IN8 v2

New coincident 3 way with 5 inch woofer, much lower self noise, pretty noise for smaller treated rooms $349 list.

Kali's newest, most advanced studio monitor.
Kali Audio is thrilled to announce the new IN-5 5-Inch 3-Way Coincident Studio Monitor. The product of two years of research and development, the IN-5 is Kali's first product that reflects direct feedback that they’ve gotten from their users. The IN-5 has the same coincident architecture as the larger IN-8 for the same low distortion and hyper-realistic imaging. Slightly smaller than the LP-6, it is Kali’s smallest speaker to date, and with a 12 dB reduction in self noise, it can be used as close as 20 cm without any hiss.

Like the IN-8, the IN-5 uses a unique architecture where the crossover point between the woofer and the concentric midrange/tweeter drivers makes the monitor an acoustic point source. This configuration eliminates spatial separation of the high frequency and low frequency elements, giving the monitor a highly detailed soundstage. The midrange driver also unburdens the woofer and tweeter, allowing for substantial system-wide improvements in total harmonic distortion.

The midrange transducer is profile-optimized for its role as the tweeter’s waveguide, and peak-to-peak excursion is limited to one millimeter, thereby avoiding intermodulation distortion which can be problematic on coaxial designs.

The IN-5 is powered by a 160W Class D amp with 80W going to the woofer, and 40W each going to the midrange and tweeter. Boundary EQ settings, like those found on Kali’s Lone Pine monitors, are accessible on the back of the speaker, along with a quick reference guide printed directly onto the speaker itself. The boundary EQs are updated for the IN-5, and take advantage of the fact that it can be placed horizontally as well as vertically.

The IN-5 is available now in the United States, with worldwide availability soon to follow. MSRP is $349.
