Enjoy accurate and lifelike sound with tons of low end, using the white Kali Audio IN-8 V2, a 3-way studio monitor designed for high-quality mixing, production, and critical listening. Kali prides itself on giving you a fantastic sound on a budget, and the IN-8 V2 lives up to their promise, with lower self-noise, an increased SPL, and smoother top end than the original IN-8.

This monitor offers an 8" woofer for the low end. Mids and highs are handled in a coincident design, with a 4" midrange driver and 1" tweeter nested inside. This driver architecture helps give the monitor a realistic stereo image along with clarity of frequency and transient representation that is essential for professional use. Class-D amplification and a carefully plotted front-port improve clarity and efficiency. Tons of options are on hand for analog connectivity and boundary-EQ settings. The monitor ships with a power cable.

Clean, Powerful, and Accurate Sound    Less Self Noise and Higher SPL than V1    Enhanced High-End and Durability over V1    3-Way Class-D Tri-Amped Design    Coaxial Midrange Driver and Tweeter    8" Woofer, 4" MF Driver, and 1" Tweeter    -10 dBV or +4 dBu Input Sensitivity    RCA, TRS, and XLR Connections    Power Cord Included

The IN-8 features a Class-D amp with very little self noise, an upgraded DSP section, and upgraded transducers for better reliability.

Because of the coincident placement of the midrange and tweeter and the crossover of the woofer midrange (280 Hz), the IN-8 is an acoustic point source. This gives it an ideal directivity characteristic for a studio monitor. You will be able to hear a very lifelike stereo image with details placed clearly and consistently. Off-axis lobing that is unavoidable in a 2-way system is virtually eliminated.

Substantial work was done to optimize the midrange driver not only for its own acoustic performance, but also for its role as the waveguide for the tweeter. The shape is very precise to allow for controlled directivity at midrange to tweeter crossover, ensuring accurate summing both on and off axis. Excursion on the midrange is limited to less than 1mm peak to peak, so that the oscillation of the midrange does not have a negative effect on the tweeter.

The IN-8 incorporates all of the benefits of Kali's Lone Pine series monitors. These include optimized woofers for powerful clean bass, a front-firing port tube, and boundary-compensated EQ.
