I love how your company really thinks about the average consumer that doesn’t have a lot space to record and mix in. Awesome stuff Kali Audio! 👍
Those little guys look great, as always. I have the LP6's and I'm very satisfied with them
I just bought the LP6V2s and I'm in love with them. Coming from Rokit 5s! I'm so happy with my purchase! I made an unboxing video as well. I just have to upload it. Thanks Kali Audio!!
So glad you're liking them!
Had the chance to hear them today. I‘m impressed, they punch way above their weight! I would say, this beats everything in it‘s class (small, bedroom style speakers) and as an pro-audio dealer, i heard a lot of things during the past two decades. Kali Team, this is a really awesome product. I‘m gonna recommend them 100% to all beginners with a small budeget, and even professionals for a 2nd set of smaller monitors.
Awesome to hear! Thanks!
I just purchased LP6v2 and am completely satisfied, I did however mail you guys to suggest a dac or audio interface and was warned these were coming. I'm content with my purchase, although these do look to be a great desktop solution..thank you for the heads up and great products.
I am rocking the N5 with the WS 12 sub and I love it the best set up I can ever have
I'm patiently waiting for something large enough for my whole house that I can wirelessly play music through my steaming services, like Tidal 😊 I've thought about getting the LP-8's with a subwoofer or two, and then hooking them up to a Wiim Pro, but I haven't pulled the trigger yet.
These would be great with a carrying case *hint hint* for travel setups. Would definitely buy if y’all released something similar to the carrying case genelec has for their 8010s
Nice one! Next firmware update should have Balance/ Panning Option for Stereo adjust.
I've had my 1st gen LP-8 monitors for a few years now and while they are just a tad bit overkill for my new apartment dwelling pocket studio?
I absolutely love them!
My prior passive monitors were rear ported, and I kept having issues with low frequencies building up behind my desk and thus giving me inaccurate representations when working. Also, the noise floor on the old amplifier I was using to power them left much to be desired to say the very least.
So when I finally had enough with them and went looking to upgrade?
These Kali Audio LP-8 monitors came to the rescue!
This new smaller LP-UNF pair looks very interesting I must say, and for $300?!
I may just have to pick them up for when working on the go.
Cheers!
Keep on rocking those V1s! That rules!
We just want to listen to music that sounds musical, not sterile, and in a manner that won't grate hard if listening for long time. Thank you!
I hope the USB-C input is added to a new version of the IN5/IN8. It's always felt a bit silly to only have analog inputs on a DSP speakers, adding the extra cost of a DAC/interface.
Now, how about a fully passive LP speaker for those of us with surround systems who don't fancy running both long audio input cables and equally long AC power cords to four (or more!) more speakers playing the relatively undemanding ambience/surround role, e.g. in my own "mostly-Kali" (IN-8v2 L+R pair and IN-5 center channel) system?
what monitor stands do you use in the video? fits perfectly! loooking real clean :D
Those are from are friends at Soundrise!
These sound awesome, but not quite the full range I'd need to be useful without a sub. Love my OG IN-8's and would love a UNF version of those for a future release!
There is a UNF version! Check out the IN-UNF: www.kaliaudio.com/in-unf
What monitor stands are you using in this video, can you reveal that.
Nice! I also like the stands. Where to get them?
They're from the good folks at Soundrise!
I was about to buy the IN UNF for my small workshop/office. What are the differences in the result?
The IN-UNF has a slightly better stereo image with slightly lower distortion. It's geared a bit more towards experienced mixers whereas the LP-UNF is geared more towards beginners. We're confident that you'll get accurate translation with both.
Please do a restock of LP and IN series to Indonesia distibutor!
do these speakers have 1 3/8" pole cups for mounting on a wall bracket? If not, can you suggest a wall bracket that will work?
They do not. This will work though: www.rockvilleaudio.com/rhsb8/?gad_source=1
Does the USB-C input support only 24/48 or other bit rates up to and including 24/48? Thanks!
The output from your device (computer) to the LP-UNF is fixed at 24/48
Hi Kali Audio, quick question LP UNF vs LP6 for producing and mixing (space its not a problem here) which one do you guys recommend? thanks
If you're listening within arm's length and at a desk, the quality of life features of the LP-UNF are hard to beat. If you're listening any further away, you'll appreciate the performance of the LP-6.
Would this be better for someone that doesn't have an acoustically treated room instead of the LP6? I'm a bedroom music producer and I mix/master my stuff so I want to stretch my few dollars as far as I can to get the best setup without having to do a ton to make the acoustics in my room perfect. Since these are "near field" monitors it makes me think that these would be a great option for me especially once I move into an apartment as well. Really considering these!!
Short answer is yes. Longer answer is also yes; working in the ultra nearfield means that SPL levels in the room are lower overall, so room acoustics play a diminished role. Also you're saving yourself $100 that you could put towards some basic treatment.
❤👍
Is the humming noise (electronic, amp noise) fixed in the IN8 Second Wave? The first version had that problem, I read...
It is 12 dB lower than it was on V1. Almost no one has complained about the noise level on any of our V2 speakers.
@@kaliaudio Thanks
I just ordered these speakers and I've got a question about the USB connectivity. My PC does not have any USB-C ports, so would it be possible to connect these speakers with a USB-C to USB-A cable? And would this have any (negative) side-effects? Thanks!
No negative side effects! Should work just fine!
@@kaliaudio Great! Can't wait till I get them. Thanks for the quick response :)
Will there be an upgraded version of the IN8 Second Wave? Like Kevlar cones instead of paper?
Kevlar doesn't hold up to paper in terms of both stiffness to weight and natural damping characteristics. Paper is pretty hard to beat! But for the time being, there are no imminent new versions of any products coming.
@@kaliaudio Thanks for your reply!
Hello
Can you please provide the reference of the base on which the monitors stands ? Just bought the UNF ! Cheers
They're from our friends at Soundrise!
Do these as an audio interface so I can connect it directing to my computer and use amp sims?
Apparently not -- the USB-C connector is an input for the DAC and there is no ADC AFAICT.

It can just work as a monitor for your computer via USB-C, Bluetooth or RCA - without using an interface. It's explained in the video.
What are the speaker stands please?
They're from the good folks at Soundrise!
Hopefully they have a bigger beefier pair that work in average size rooms semi near field
We do! Check out LP-6! www.kaliaudio.com/lone-pine-studio-monitors
Damn, I wish this has physical controls instead of the touch controls. I’m a blind audio engineer I love having the feel of physical controls. I hope they can make a unit that has physical controls.
That is really valuable feedback. You CAN feel the plus and minus though, they're physically indented into the speaker.
I will be getting the in second wave pretty soon. What about connecting it with the Bluetooth? Is there physical buttons for that as well or is the Bluetooth part just all touchscreen?
@@liltrboofficial4671 Bluetooth on the LP-UNF is controlled with the plus and minus buttons.
Can these be integrated with the IN-UNF system?
Not sure how you mean. They're both full-range stereo systems, so using both at the same time, or like the bass unit of IN with the L and R from LP is just gonna create phasing issues.
Very interesting... Mobile broadcast reference??🤔🤔 😎😎✨✨
PERFECT application for this system.
There appears to be no sub-woofer out. Any ideas on how one may (if needed) connect a sub-woofer to the LP-UNF monitors?
If you get a Kali sub, our subs have built in crossovers.
@@kaliaudio Thanks for the reply. I presume then that the signal will first pass through to the subwoofer (via an analogue connection) and then to the speakers? And we then set a cross over (of e.g. 80 hz) on the sub. This means that the digital connections are of no use?
Could you make these in white?
oh, stay tuned...
Bring to Indonesia please
A US only monitor... Cool. Not even Amazon sells them.
They just came out last wednesday, so they'll be available globally shortly.
In Germany it's 349 € - what an unfavorable weird conversion.
BTW: The back is not the ideal place for a power switch.
Pro Monitors with NO XLR input........very stange indeed and not industry standard
There's no huge advantage for XLR monitor connections when you only have very short cable lengths. And these speakers are not really meant for big pro studios and whatever "industry standard" that nobody cares about in home studios. BTW: These TRS inputs are for balanced cables so you get all the audio benefits of XLRs without using XLRs.
