Kali Audio LP-6 V2 6.5-inch Powered Studio Monitor (Pair)

Hear your mix as it really is, without hype. The Kali Audio LP-6 V2 (also called the LP-6 2nd Wave) is a 6.5-inch powered 2-way studio monitor from Kali’s Lone Pine series. It is made for home studios, producers and editors who want an accurate pair of monitors for small and medium rooms.

Why customers choose it

• Honest, flat sound: Kali tunes the LP-Series so nothing is boosted or suppressed, and the 2nd Wave DSP gives an even flatter top end.
• Lower noise and more output: The 2nd Wave improves noise floor, output level, frequency response and distortion; updated limiters allow 3 dB more output.
• 3-D imaging waveguide: Smooth directivity so you hear the stereo placement of each instrument clearly.
• Clean bass from a quiet port: A front port shaped with airflow simulation avoids “chuffing” noise, so the speaker can sit near a wall.
• Boundary EQ for your desk: Boundary EQ settings tuned at The Village Studios in Los Angeles, plus LF and HF trims, to match where you place the speakers.

Who it is for

Home and project studios, beat makers, YouTubers and podcast editors, music students and anyone mixing in a small room. The LP-6 suits most 1-2 person setups at a listening distance of up to 2.5 metres.

Specifications

FAQ

Is the LP-6 V2 the same as the LP-6 2nd Wave?

How big a room is it for?

Kali gives a recommended listening distance of 0.5 to 2.5 metres and says the LP-6 has enough output for most 1-2 person setups. For larger setups Kali points to the LP-8.

Can I connect it to my laptop or phone?

Yes. Use the RCA input, which can be set to -10 dB sensitivity for consumer devices. Balanced XLR and TRS inputs are there for audio interfaces and mixers.
