Coaxial Mid-Tweeter

Kali-Audio presents the IN-8 2nd Wave, the 2nd generation of its successful 3-way, 8" nearfield monitor. It features a coaxial mid-range & tweeter, as well as a sophisticated bass reflex system. Based on the successful LP-8, the speaker features the same level-fixed woofer for powerful bass. But instead of the usual tweeter with 3D imaging waveguides, here is a coaxial 4" mid-tweeter combination.

What does a waveguide do?

The profile-optimized midrange driver also serves as a waveguide, helping to prevent intermodulation distortion by limiting peak excursion to 1mm. This common problem with coaxial systems is thus circumvented and a more harmonious and distortion-free overall picture is created. 

Ideal image acoustic point source

The crossover frequency is also 330 Hz, making the Kali Audio IN-8 2nd Wave an acoustic point source without phase cancellations on the vertical axis. Instead, a uniform radiation pattern is produced over the entire frequency response with excellent depth and localization.

Detailed stereo image and room adjustments

The stereo image also benefits from the coaxial arrangement and allows for a detailed mix. Furthermore, a familiar boundary EQ from the LP series is on board, making it just as easy as its sister models to adapt the near-field monitor to different studio environments.
