Our 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is a high performance studio monitor that is ready for the most demanding mixing and mastering applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith onboard processing for room calibration, each speaker can be programmed with delays, trims, and EQs to deliver accurate response in your room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eRoom Calibration\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SM-Series 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImportantly, 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-Series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnboard 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKali has fully documented our recommended room calibration procedures. When you perform the measurement yourself, we can provide room tuning files for a small fee per speaker.

The tweeter uses a unique geometry to reduce high-Q ultrasonic resonances, eliminating harshness that can make metal tweeters fatiguing over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e4-Inch Profile-Optimised MidrangeThe SM-Series midrange is optimised not only for its own frequency band, but also for its role as the tweeter’s waveguide. The shape is precision engineered for ideal directivity, and peak-to-peak excursion is limited to under 1mm to prevent intermodulation distortion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlux Stabilised WooferThe SM-Series woofer incorporates features that reduce magnetic flux modulation, bringing distortion down dramatically.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaper is used for both the woofer and midrange cone material. Kali’s testing has shown that, despite its humble nature, paper is ideal in terms of stiffness, weight, and natural damping characteristics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eEase of Use\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecessed Input PanelThe SM-Series' input panel is recessed to allow for easier wall and ceiling mounting. It features inputs for XLR or TRS connectors, AES\/EBU in and thru over BNC, and RJ45 (ethernet) for control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe back of the speaker also features the trim wheel, which allows for precise 0.5 dB adjustments from -12 dB to +6 dB.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCapacitive Touch LogoThe Kali logo on the SM-Series has a capacitive touch sensor, acting as a multi-function button to control basic loudspeaker functions like standby mode.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMulti-Color LEDThe LED on the SM-Series changes colour to indicate a variety of statuses, including the trim level, whether a user EQ is being processed, standby mode, and performance warnings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUSB InputThe USB-A input on the front of the speaker can be used to load firmware and tunings to the loudspeaker, even if it’s permanently mounted in place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSoftware\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUser-editable DSP is available using Kali Control Panel software, available for both Mac and Windows.
