Product code: SM-5 | ID: 1160384
Kali Audio's SM-5 is the best studio monitor they've built so far. With unparalled accuracy, imaging, and translation, it presents every detail of your mix with pinpoint precision and fidelity. The SM-5 features user-editable DSP to process room calibration profiles on board, for a perfect fit in your room.
Kali's founding principle is to deliver the best possible product for the price. Their speakers have always been praised for their accuracy, translation, and ease of use. The SM-Series builds on these ideals, and incorporates the best available materials, components, and manufacturing. The result is a high performance studio monitor that is ready for the most demanding mixing and mastering applications.
The SM-5 gives users full control of 8 parametric EQs, delay up to 12ms, and loudspeaker trim. These parameters can be accessed and edited using our Kali Control Panel application, available for both Mac and Windows. Importantly, since these parameters are processed by the same DSP hardware already in line, using user-defined DSP adds no additional latency to the system. Total digital latency is acceptably low to allow tracking using the SM-5s.
Onboard calibration removes the need for a dedicated room calibration processor. It also prevents some of the confusion and mishap that is possible with a plug-in based processor. Calibration is available for any source you could plug into the speaker, without needing to route it through software, and it will never be active on a mix you print.
User-editable DSP is available using Kali Control Panel software, available for both Mac and Windows. Kali Control Panel works in both Online Mode, meaning that each speaker is connected to a network with an ethernet cable, or Offline Mode, meaning that you can use a USB thumb drive to load files onto the speaker.
The SM–5 features mounting holes on both the top and bottom of the loudspeaker. Kali recommends using a speaker specific U-bracket from Triad-Orbit, but any speaker mount with a 4.25 x 2-Inch bolt pattern that is capable of holding the SM-5’s 21 lbs weight will also work.
The frequency response 39 Hz - 28 kHz provides a wide enough range to capture all the fine musical and sonic details.
With power up to 150 W , you get plenty of headroom for impressive volume and dynamics whether you're in the studio, at home, or partying.
High SPL levels up to 117 dB allow you to experience the sound as it was originally intended, with sufficient volume and dynamics.
