Monitoring

The new IN-8 2nd Wave has an updated amplifier module and enables 12 dB less self-noise with a 3dB higher output. The tuning has been refined for even smoother high-frequency behaviour and the boundary EQs have been updated to enable practical settings. A new feature here is the preset for horizontal speaker positioning. Further updates include lighter transducer cones for faster transient response and an improved cabinet design for less natural resonance.As a further development of the successful LP-8, the IN-8 2nd Wave features its sophisticated bass reflex system and the same level-resistant woofer. However, instead of the usual tweeter with 3D imaging waveguides, a coaxial midrange/tweeter combination has been installed here. The profile-optimised 4″ midrange driver also functions as a waveguide. By limiting the peak excursion to 1 mm, intermodulation distortion, which otherwise occurs in coaxial systems, could be avoided. The midrange driver also relieves the woofer and tweeter, so the IN-8 2nd Wave plays more harmoniously and with less distortion than conventional 2-way studio monitors.The crossover frequency of the woofer is 280 Hz, making the IN-8 2nd Wave an acoustic point source. Phase cancellations on the vertical axis will be sought in vain here. Instead, the IN-8 2nd Wave has an even dispersion behaviour over the entire frequency response with excellent depth graduation and localisation. The stereo image also benefits from the coaxial arrangement and enables a detailed mix. Thanks to the "Boundary EQ" familiar from the LP series, the IN-8 2nd Wave can be adapted to different studio environments just as easily as its sister models.

The new LP-6 studio monitor is part of Kali's 2nd Wave loudspeaker series. The new models in the "2nd Wave" series are based on 3 years of research and development and have been improved in all areas. A new amplifier module provides 12 dB less self-noise, while the input sensitivity has been increased by 3 dB. The tuning has been refined for smoother HF behaviour and the boundary EQs have been updated for common real-world applications. New here is the preset for positioning the speakers on desktop stands. Other improvements include lighter transducer cones for better transient response and an improved cabinet design for greater reliability. Proven and unique features such as waveguide technology, bass speakers with oversized magnets and the sophisticated bass reflex system have of course been retained, making the LP-6 2nd Wave studio monitor a reliable tool regardless of genre and budget.

Kali Audio presents the IN-5 3-way 5″ nearfield monitor as a precise monitoring system for smaller rooms. The further development of the successful LP series has a sophisticated bass reflex system with a level-resistant woofer. Instead of the usual tweeter with 3D imaging waveguides, however, a coaxial midrange/tweeter combination has been installed here. The profile-optimised 4″ midrange driver also functions as a waveguide. By limiting the peak excursion to 1 mm, intermodulation distortion, which otherwise occurs in coaxial systems, could be avoided. The midrange driver also relieves the woofer and tweeter, so the IN-5 plays more harmoniously and with less distortion than conventional 2-way studio monitors.The crossover frequency of the woofer is 280 Hz, turning the IN-5 into an acoustic point source. Phase cancellations on the vertical axis will be sought in vain here. Instead, the IN-5 has an even dispersion behaviour over the entire frequency response with excellent depth graduation and localisation. The stereo image also benefits from the coaxial arrangement and enables a detailed mix. Thanks to the "Boundary EQ" familiar from the LP series, the IN-5 can be adapted to different studio environments just as easily as its sister models.

It is worth mentioning that the DSP, which uses a high-quality A/D converter from BurrBrown, only filters the woofer of the subwoofer. The signal path for the satellite speakers remains purely analogue and undergoes no A/D, D/A conversion. With the "Pure Satellite" function, when activated, the subwoofer and the DSP filter section are bypassed completely. In this case, the satellite signals are routed unfiltered to the outputs and only the volume of the satellites can be varied.The volume of the subwoofer and the entire stereo system can be controlled using the remote control supplied as standard with the subwoofer - all from the comfort of your listening position.The special feature of our extremely powerful and high-precision subwoofers is the passive cone used, which replaces the usual bass reflex channel. This design completely eliminates disturbing flow noise caused by air turbulence. Audible tube resonances (with lambda/2 + multiples) are due to the principle of an open tube on both sides (bass reflex channel) and can be eliminated with the passive membrane design in all EVE Audio subwoofers. Furthermore, the suspension of the passive cone has a restoring force below the tuning frequency, which reduces inaudible subsonic excursions. This means less excursion in the operating range and thus reduced intermodulation distortion.A passive diaphragm enables a particularly low tuning or lower cut-off frequency in a compact housing.

The Genelec 8020D is a professional compact nearfield monitor. It delivers an analytical sound image without colouration for fatigue-free monitoring and objective mixing. With its small dimensions, it is suitable for small studios, post-production, broadcast and mobile applications. Protective grilles in front of the drivers simplify transport.The stable and low-resonance housing of this RAW version is made of untreated aluminium and is particularly environmentally friendly to manufacture as it is not painted. Rounded cabinet edges and the optimised sound guide ensure balanced dispersion, very good spatial imaging and a wide listening zone. The stereo image is precise and stable. Despite the small size, there is a long bass reflex channel. It enables precise and deep bass reproduction. The frequency range can be extended down to 30 Hz with the matching 7040 subwoofer.Switchable filters allow the speaker to be customised to the installation location and room acoustics. The IsoPod stand decouples the monitor from the floor and allows it to be aligned to the listening position. Threaded holes and suitable accessories facilitate wall or ceiling mounting.
