Kali Audio IN-5

As a precise monitoring system for smaller rooms Kali Audio presents the 3-way 5-inch nearfield monitor IN-5. The further development of the successful LP series has a sophisticated bass reflex system with a level-proof woofer. Instead of the usual tweeter with 3D imaging waveguides, however, a coaxial midrange-tweeter combination has been installed here.

The profile-optimized 4 inch midrange driver also functions as a waveguide. By limiting the peak excursion to 1 mm, intermodulation distortions that otherwise occur in coaxial systems could be avoided. The midrange driver also relieves the woofer and tweeter, so the IN-5 plays overall more harmonious and distortion-free than conventional 2-way studio monitors.

The crossover frequency of the woofer is 280 Hz, making the IN-5 an acoustic point source. Phase cancellations on the vertical axis will be looked for in vain. Instead, the IN-5 has a uniform dispersion behavior over the entire frequency response with excellent depth staggering and localization. The stereo image also benefits from the coaxial arrangement and allows for a detailed mix. Thanks to the "Boundary EQ" known from the LP series, the IN-5 can be adapted to different studio environments just as easily as its sister models.
