Kali Audio SM-8 - 3-Way Coincident Monitor - Single

The Kali Audio SM-8 is a self-powered 3-way coincident studio monitor from Kali's SM-Series. A 1" aluminium dome tweeter sits at the centre of a 4" optimised-profile paper midrange that also acts as its waveguide, above an 8" flux-stabilised paper woofer, all driven by 300 W of 3-channel Class D amplification.

Network control via Ethernet gives access to user DSP including 8 parametric EQs, delay and trim through the Kali Control Panel software, with balanced analogue and AES/EBU digital inputs. Sold individually.
