Kali Audio LP-6 V2 6.5-inch Powered Studio Monitor

Second-generation refinements yield sonic excellence

Despite so many rave reviews among studio engineers, Kali Audio saw room for improvement with the LP-6’s already impressive sonic signature. The LP-6 V2 features a refined amplifier design that lowers the noise floor even further than it was, and offers a smoother high frequency response too. The LP-6 V2’s Boundary EQ settings have been tweaked based on user feedback, enhancing transparency when your monitors are positioned close to a wall or on a desktop. And with the LP-6 V2’s lower-mass woofer design, you’ll experience even more detail and clarity in the bass regions.

Transparent sound reproduction for mixes you can trust

The LP-6 V2 offers ultra-transparent sound reproduction, enabling you to hear every detail of your mix. This starts with an exceptionally accurate frequency response. There’s nothing hyped about this speaker: its dual-layer, large-diameter voice coil exhibits a crystal-clear sound with negligible distortion — a full 6dB lower than its nearest competitor. At continuous reference-level output, the LP-6 V2 boasts at least 20dB of headroom to allow for transient spikes. What’s more, this studio monitor employs larger magnets and voice coils than others in its class, resulting in super-accurate low-end response and impressive low-frequency extension. At Sound Town, we’ve found that the LP-6 V2 empowers you to mix with confidence. Once you dial in your music on a set of these monitors, it will sound great everywhere.

Cutting-edge waveguide design yields rock-solid imaging

When you listen to a speaker, you hear both its direct sound and its reflections. When the reflections are consistent with the direct sound, the speaker sounds better. Its stereo image will sound three-dimensional, enabling you to observe subtle details such as spatial information and microphone placement. The Kali Audio LP-6 V2’s cutting-edge waveguide design minimizes unwanted reflections, thereby preventing the smeared sound stage that’s inherent in many low-cost studio monitors. With the LP-6 V2, you’ll know the exact location of every instrument in your mix’s stereo field. This will also you to mix faster, and produce better results.

Low-noise port tube exhibits clean, punchy low end

One of the LP-6 V2’s most novel features is its low-noise port tube. Many port tubes emit turbulence, as air leaves the tube at different speeds from different points of the opening. This turbulence produces chuffing, a noisy sound that obscures the low-end details of your mix. The LP-6 V2’s port tube, on the other hand, ensures that all of the air exits at the same velocity. The end result is clean, punchy bass with zero added noise.
