Kali’s IN-Series monitors are some of the most innovative studio monitors ever made. Combining the natural advantages of a 3-way design with hyper-realistic imaging of a co-axial mid-range and tweeter, they offer more transparency, lower distortion, and a soundstage that must be heard to be believed.
Performance
Unrivaled Punch and Detail.
The IN-Series monitors are unlike anything you’ve ever heard. The three-way design lets both the woofer and the tweeter do less work, resulting in better headroom and lower distortion across the frequency spectrum.
At the same time, the coaxial architecture of the midrange and tweeter result in hyper-realistic imaging. This means that you’ll be able to hear subtle details in your mix with pinpoint precision.
The design of the system comes together to allow the IN-Series monitors to act as acoustic point sources. They enjoy all the benefits of both traditional 3-way systems and traditional coaxial speakers, with none of the drawbacks traditionally associated with either.
All of this make the IN-5 and IN-8 extremely accurate and easy to mix on. You’ll be able to work faster and with more confidence, and your mixes are going to translate to other systems with less work.
IN-8:

Class D Power
37 Hz
Lower Frequency Response
< 1% System THD
85 dB @ 1M
117 dB

Features
Soft Dome Tweeter
Smooth, effortless highs.
Profile-optimized Midrange Driver
Clear mids and excellent directivity all the way to the top of the frequency response.
Powerful Woofer
Clean, punchy bass that doesn’t disrupt the mids and highs.
Because of the IN-Series’ coincident architecture, you may notice a dip between 8-10 kHz when measuring with a single stationary microphone. The dip is an on-axis diffraction artifact of the midrange baffle interface. It is evident in on-axis measurements, but not in total sound power. Perception of timbre should be neutral in most rooms. It is not recommended to apply room-correction EQs to the INs based on single point static measurement
2nd Wave Improvements
More Sophisticated Limiters
For 3dB higher output with no risk of damaging the speakers.
12 dB Reduction in Amplifier Self Noise
2nd Wave monitors are dead quiet when not being used. You won’t hear any hiss or other electronic or mechanical noises even if the monitors are very close to you and your room is very quiet. And you’ll be able to handle sensitive applications like sound design with total confidence.
Natural Finish Driver Cones
Less material on the cone increases driver efficiency.
Improved Cabinet Construction
For better cosmetic longevity.
More Robust DSP
For smoother high frequency response
New Boundary EQ Tunings
To better address real-world use cases.
Input Sensitivity Lowered by 3 dB
For higher output from a given input signal.
