zZounds Gear Experts Say...

Kali's LP-8 studio monitor speaker is back and better than ever in the Version 2 model, now with a lower-noise amp platform and updated boundary EQ settings.

Overview

Kali Audio's LP-8 V2 is an 8-inch 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.

This 2nd Version features 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.

"Excellent Monitors"

These monitors are awesome. Very flat and accurate, with plenty of low end. No subwoofer needed! I mounted them on stands. I was going to adjust them to the room position, but upon reading the instructions found I didn't need to. Familiar recordings sound exactly as expected. Mixes translate to other systems well. What you hear is what you get. These are excellent monitors and I cannot recommend them more! BTW, manufacturer support should not be a required field. How would I know that unless I had a problem and had to deal with them? Whatever I pick, I'm just guessing.
