Product details
The Kali Audio LP-6V2 is a studio monitor speaker designed for professional audio monitoring and mixing. Kali Audio LP-6v2 is a newer version of the original LP-6 studio monitor, produced by Kali Audio, a company known for providing high-quality studio monitors at affordable prices. Here's an overview of the LP-6v2:
- Design and Build: The LP-6v2 is a bi-amplified studio monitor featuring a sleek design with a black finish. It is designed to deliver accurate and detailed sound reproduction for professional audio production applications.
- Drivers: The LP-6v2 is equipped with a 6.5-inch woofer and a 1-inch soft dome tweeter. These drivers are designed to provide a balanced frequency response and clear imaging across the audible spectrum.
- Amplification: Each driver in the LP-6v2 is powered by its own dedicated amplifier, resulting in a bi-amplified configuration. This design ensures optimal performance and efficient power distribution to the drivers.
- Frequency Response: The LP-6v2 offers a frequency response ranging from 38 Hz to 25 kHz, providing accurate reproduction of bass frequencies as well as detailed highs.
- Boundary EQ Settings: The LP-6v2 features boundary EQ settings, which allow users to optimize the monitor's sound based on its placement in the room. This feature helps compensate for the acoustic effects of placing the monitor near walls or corners.
- Connectivity: The LP-6v2 offers balanced XLR and TRS inputs, providing compatibility with a wide range of audio interfaces, mixers, and other studio equipment.
- Cabinet Design: The LP-6v2 features a low-resonance cabinet design with internal bracing, reducing unwanted vibrations and coloration of the sound. This helps ensure accurate monitoring and improved clarity.
- DSP-driven Signal Processing: The LP-6v2 utilizes DSP (Digital Signal Processing) to optimize the monitor's performance and ensure consistent sound quality across different listening environments.
- Price: Like its predecessor, the LP-6v2 is known for providing excellent value for its price, offering professional-grade sound quality and features at an affordable price point.
- Applications: The LP-6v2 is suitable for a variety of audio production applications, including music production, mixing, mastering, post-production, and general multimedia content creation. It is designed to meet the needs of both professional and home studio environments.
Overall, the Kali Audio LP-6v2 is a well-regarded studio monitor speaker that offers excellent sound quality, solid construction, and a competitive price point. It is suitable for a wide range of applications, including music production, mixing, mastering, and multimedia content creation.
Transparency. Clarity. Accuracy.
Kali Audio's Lone Pine Series studio monitors are designed to allow you to hear every detail that's happening in your mix.
This starts with an exceptionally accurate frequency response. Whatever is present on your mix is what you'll hear in these monitors. Nothing is boosted or suppressed to cover flaws or try to sound more pleasing.
With the LP-6 and LP-8, you can mix with more confidence, and you can also be assured that your mix will translate as best as possible to whatever systems your audience is using.
The 2nd Wave goes even further, utilizing a more robust DSP for an even flatter frequency response on the top end.
3-D Imaging Waveguide
Hear three dimensional sound from a stereo pair of speakers.
Dual-Layer Voice Coil
Large diameter voice coil allows for low distortion and high dynamic range.
Low Noise Port Tube
Precisely engineered using airflow simulations for powerful bass without port noise.
Accuracy
The LPs have always been praised for their accuracy, and we’re pleased to share that the 2nd Wave versions realize slight but noticeable improvements in that regard, particularly on the top end.
Full resolution measurement data is available below. The data chart may be imported into REW for viewing.
Power
Kali Audio defines a listening distance as the maximum distance at which the speakers can play continuously at 85 dB while maintaining 20 dB dynamic headroom.
This means that anywhere within that listening distance, you can listen for long periods of time at reference volume, and momentary peaks such as bass drops or explosion effects will come through clearly and with minimal distortion. The LP-6 has enough output for most 1-2 person setups, and the LP-8 can handle larger setups easily. Full output specifications, along with maximum listening distances, can be found in our user’s manual.
Bass on the LP-Series monitors is delivered by larger magnets and larger voice coils than any comparable speakers on the market. This gives you more accurate bass response that extends lower, so you can dial in exactly the low end sound you need. Bass response is not boosted or overhyped, but you can be sure that you’re hearing the bass that you have on the track.
Protective limiters prevent harmful voltage from ever reaching the drivers, so there is no risk of blowing these speakers. These have been updated for the 2nd Wave, allowing for 3 dB higher output.
Both models use 40W for the 1” soft dome tweeter. The LP-6 uses 40W for the 6.5-Inch woofer, and the LP-8 uses 60W for the 8-Inch woofer.
Boundary EQ Control
A speaker’s given position in a space can drastically change it’s frequency response. A speaker placed against a wall or on a desk will sound very different than a speaker placed on a stand, even in a well-treated space. Hard surfaces like walls, desk tops, and recording consoles can change the low end frequency response of the monitor, and degrade the overall clarity of the sound.
Happily, most of the common positions are fairly predictable and easily corrected.
Kali’s team did our Boundary EQ tuning at The Village Studios in Los Angeles, and came up with boundary compensation EQ settings to help you get the optimum sound for where you need to put your speakers. For the 2nd Wave, the boundary EQs have been updated for using the speakers on a desk with monitor stands.
Combined with the LF and HF trims, this will ensure that the speakers sound their best no matter what room you’re mixing in, or where the speakers are placed.
Immersive and Mounting
Kali’s LP-Series speakers represent one of the most budget-friendly ways to get into immersive mixing formats like Dolby Atmos. With complete systems starting at around $3000, you can build an immersive mixing rig without breaking the bank. Importantly, Kali’s users enjoy excellent translation across a variety of systems, so when you’re mixing a high profile project, you know your client will be happy and the mix will sound its best.
