Kali Audio IN-UNF 3-Way Ultra-Nearfield Desktop Studio Monitor System
The Kali Audio IN-UNF is a complete studio monitoring system built specifically for desktop producers, editors, and creators. It solves the common problem of getting accurate, full-range sound in small spaces or on a cluttered desk. This unique three-piece system features two satellite speakers with coaxial midrange and tweeter drivers for crystal-clear imaging, and a separate bass unit with dual horizontally-opposed woofers for clean, powerful low-end. By designing the system for an 'ultra-nearfield' listening distance—about arm's length—the IN-UNF minimizes the sonic impact of your room, allowing you to hear your work with precision and clarity, regardless of your acoustic environment.
Key Features
- 3-Way Coincident Design: The satellite speakers feature a 4-inch midrange driver and a 1-inch tweeter in a coaxial alignment. This acts as a point source, providing superior stereo imaging and detail compared to traditional 2-way designs.
- Vibration-Canceling Bass Unit: The dedicated bass unit houses two 4.5-inch high-excursion woofers in a horizontally opposed configuration. This design cancels out vibrations, ensuring the bass is tight and clean without rattling your desk.
- Ultra-Nearfield Optimization: Engineered for a listening distance of 0.8 meters (2.6 feet), this system delivers a reference-quality sound stage directly to your ears, significantly reducing the negative effects of room reflections.
- Flexible Connectivity: Easily connect to your computer via USB-C, your gaming console or TV via optical, or your audio interface with the balanced 3.5mm TRS input. All necessary processing and amplification is self-contained.
- Boundary EQ DSP: Built-in digital signal processing provides eight different EQ settings to compensate for your desk's position in the room—whether it's in the open, against a wall, or in a corner.
- Space-Saving Form Factor: The compact satellite speakers take up minimal desk space, while the bass unit is designed to serve as a stand for your laptop or computer monitor, integrating seamlessly into your workspace.
Why Kali IN-UNF Desktop Monitors Is Better
Unlike typical desktop speakers that are often small, 2-way designs with compromised low-end and imaging, the Kali IN-UNF brings the architecture of high-end studio monitors to your desk. Its 3-way coaxial design provides a level of detail and stereo accuracy that is simply not present in other speakers of this size. Furthermore, the innovative, vibration-canceling bass unit delivers impactful low frequencies without transferring unwanted energy to your work surface. The entire system is purpose-built to overcome the acoustic challenges of small rooms by focusing the sound directly at the listener, offering a more reliable and translatable mixing experience than using larger nearfield monitors in an untreated space.

FAQs - Kali Audio IN-UNF 3-Way Ultra-Nearfield Desktop Studio Monitor System
Q: Do I need an audio interface to use the IN-UNF system?
A: No, you do not. The IN-UNF has a high-quality USB-C input that allows you to connect directly to your computer. It also includes optical and 3.5mm TRS inputs for other devices.
Q: What does 'ultra-nearfield' mean?
A: It means the system is acoustically designed to be listened to from a very short distance, specifically 0.8 meters or about 2.6 feet. This minimizes the sound reflections from your room, giving you a more accurate picture of your audio.
