Pro Studio Monitor Speakers

[Black] I recently purchased the Kali Lone Pine Studio Monitor V2 speakers and I am blown away by their performance. The sound quality is crystal clear and the bass response is impressive. The compact size makes them perfect for my home studio, but they pack a punch that can easily fill a larger room. The build quality is top-notch and they look great on my desk. I highly recommend the Kali Lone Pine Studio Monitor V2 speakers to anyone in need of an upgrade to their studio setup.

[105 dB] These monitor speakers, although pricy, are very well suited to mixing and editing in protools for a studio either at home or in a formal studio setting. They are transparent with a very flat sound that does not emphasize any particular aspect of the frequency spectrum. Flat sound as used here is a good thing. The bass is surprisingly strong in my editing room which only about 8' x 10'. I did add a subwoofer for frequencies below 50Hz. The highs are exceptionally clear and the midrange very smooth. These speakers are very easy on the ears even after several hours editing. I highly recommend them. I use them mainly to edit recording of live theatrical musical performances.

[10.4" / 26.4 cm] It only took a few minutes to assemble and position these stands. I use them for my computer's M-AUDIO studio monitor speakers. Since I installed the stands, I've been wondering why I didn't buy them sooner. The sound is so much better having the speakers at the right height.

[Yes, 2x 5 W] I purchased this monitor to use with both a MacBook Pro and a Linux Workstation. The USB-C connector links the MacBook Pro and provides power to it as well. I connect to my Linux Workstation via a DisplayPort connection, and can easily switch between them using the selection button at the bottom of the monitor. The monitor also has 2 USB-A ports which I use to provide power to charge my keyboard and mouse (or trackpad). [A standard HDMI connector is available as well.]. The monitor is bright and clear. At 4K resolution, it is not as clear as a 5K retina monitor, but it is less than half the price of a smaller 5K monitor and, unless your work depends critically on that extra resolution (or slightly higher color fidelity), this is a great monitor that should work well for you too. The Ergo stand works as advertised and is very flexible and easy to use, and is also quite sturdy. The monitor also includes built-in speakers that are fine. If you need really high quality sound, then you probably want to get some external speakers. For day-to-day use, the speakers work well. I would definitely recommend this to anyone seeking an external monitor.

[2.1-Channel] I purchased this monitor to replace two monitors that I was using with my MacBook Pro, and I'm glad I did. It's gorgeous, the speakers are great, and the assembly and set up were easy. My desk is now clean with the one unit, the cords are less unsightly, and I no longer need the external speakers either. The only thing I might do differently is get the curved version of this screen. One of my old external monitors was curved and I did not like it. But with all this real estate on the new monitor, I think a nice curve would be great. Anyway, very pleased with purchase, and always B&H is a great place to buy.

[100 x 100 mm] This is an outstanding monitor for HDR photography and video. It offers excellent 1600 nits peak brightness (I'm getting 1800 nits in my testing), great local dimming (actually shows less haloing than the Pro Display XDR in deep shadow detail), and an integrated colorimeter with automated calibration. The hardware calibration ASUS offers on ProArt monitors like this is a huge advantage, as standard ICC profiles don't currently support HDR. This display works great on both PC and MacOS. It is most comparable to the Pro Display XDR (if you have MacOS to use it). It holds up very well against that monitor at half the price, with each having some advantages over the other. The ASUS has less blooming in deep shadow and pass-through charging / USB. The Pro Display XDR excels with reference modes, control of SDR brightness in HDR mode (due to limitations of MacOS 14 with any 3rd-party HDR monitor), and even better display uniformity. I can confirm that the speakers here are nothing to get excited about, but I always prefer separate speakers (and the Pro Display XDR doesn't have any speakers).

[Yes] Works perfectly driving my monitor from either my MacBook Pro or my Mac Studio. Automatically switches when either is powered up, or switch input manually. One note: I had trouble with mix/match outputs from computers ie one usb-c/ one hdmi) , but changing both to usb-c made all good.

[Gold Plated] Now my rolling studio monitor can be placed anywhere.
