LONE PINE LP-8 V2 8" POWERED STUDIO MONITOR
The Kali Audio Lone Pine LP-8 V2 is an 8-inch active studio monitor. It was designed to deliver transparent sound for creators working across genres and formats at a price that puts it within anyone's reach. An advanced waveguide, a large voice coil, and precision tuning make the sound extraordinarily transparent, while the oversized low frequency magnet and low noise port tube deliver powerful, clean bass response. To make it easy to integrate into your setup, the speaker is self-powered and has a variety of inputs. The DSP features Boundary EQ settings that optimize the speaker's response for where it's placed in your listening space. New in the 2nd Version is an improved amplifier platform that offers lower noise, higher sensitivity, and smoother high-frequency response. The Boundary EQ settings have been updated based on user feedback, and the low-frequency driver cone has less mass for more consistent response.
The 3-D Imaging Waveguide allows you to hear a 3-D soundstage from a stereo pair of speakers. By matching the shape of the waveguide to the interactions of the HF and LF drivers, this waveguide produces a stereo image that is wider, taller, and deeper than the space where the speakers are placed. The LP-8 accomplishes this by ensuring that the speaker’s reflected sound matches its direct sound. Every time you hear a loudspeaker, you're hearing both the direct sound from the speaker, and reflections from the speaker's signal bouncing off of objects in the room. When those reflections are congruent with the direct sound from the speaker, listeners perceive a better sound overall, and are able to make out very subtle details like where microphones are placed in a room. When done very well, the stereo image will be three-dimensional. This gives users a very high degree of confidence in their mix. It allows them to mix faster, and produce better mixes overall.
On most port tubes, air leaves at different speeds from different points of the opening, creating noisy turbulence. This turbulence can be heard as "chuffing," or an audible air sound coming from the monitor. This sound will add to the noise floor and obscure the details of the low end. The port tube on LP-6 was designed to ensure that all of the air leaves the port tube at the same velocity. This helps add to the low end response of the speaker, while keeping the bass clean, tight, and devoid of extra noise.
WS-6.2 DUAL 6" SUBWOOFER
The Kali Audio WS-6.2 Dual 6" Subwoofer is a small but mighty subwoofer that’s tailor-made to enhance the sound of Kali Audio studio monitors, but works equally well with speakers of all brands. With dual 6.5-inch LF drivers and a 1000-watt amplifier, this subwoofer provides exceptional performance in a compact form factor that fits under your desk or in other tight spaces.
The WS-6.2 subwoofer features a unique design with horizontally opposed woofers, which cancel out net vibration, ensuring that the subwoofer won't move or produce unwanted buzzing or rattling sounds—even at high SPLs. With 120 dB max SPL, this subwoofer is more than sufficient for most stereo setups and will work well in small multi-channel setups, too. If you need more SPL, you can easily add a second WS-6.2 without taking up much space.
The WS-6.2 offers flexible connectivity options, with balanced XLR and TRS inputs, unbalanced RCA inputs, and a footswitch jack that lets you turn the subwoofer on and off easily. The 80 Hz crossover mode is ideal for extending the low-end response of your monitors, while LFE mode is designed to feed the sub a dedicated LFE channel. You can also turn off the crossover and use an external crossover for greater customization. The WS-6.2's 80 Hz crossover is optimized for use with Kali's studio monitors, but it will work well with monitors from most popular manufacturers.
One of the standout features of the WS-6.2 is its low-noise port tube, which ensures that all of the air leaves the port tube at the same velocity, preventing noisy turbulence that can obscure the details of the low end. This feature helps to keep the bass clean, tight, and devoid of extra noise, making it ideal for critical listening and mixing.
