Kali Audio IN-8 Mid-Range Tweeter

Like the new Kali Audio IN-5, the IN-8 uses a newly designed coaxial mid-range/tweeter driver that works with the woofer and crossover to make the whole speaker a single, acoustic point source. The elimination of the spatial separation of the high and low frequency elements gives a pair of IN-8 monitors a highly detailed soundstage. The new midrange driver allows for substantial system-wide improvements in total harmonic distortion.

I've been mixing on a pair of original IN-8s and these new, 2nd Gen models sound amazing to me. There is no more (EU Mandated) sleep mode and no more hiss. The DSP switches are on the back panel to compensate for your room and the IN-8's positioning in it. A 140-watt Class-D amp provides 60-watts to the woofer and 40-watts each for the midrange and tweeter drivers. Boundary EQ settings, like those found on Kali Audio's Lone Pine monitors, are also accessible on the back of the speaker, along with a quick reference guide printed directly onto the back panel of the speaker itself. (Smart)

Introduced with the IN-5, also new for the IN-8 2nd Wave Monitor is a boundary EQ for placing the speakers horizontally on console bridges to improve sightlines but not distort stereo imaging. I love my pair IN-8s 2nd Wave monitors and everyone that comes into my studio always remarks about the great sound and the remarkable price--exactly the same as the previous original IN-8 monitors at $399 US MSRP.
