🎧 Elevate Your Sound Game!
Accurate sound from your studio monitors no matter where they’re placed in the room.For the aspiring music maker looking for a professional solution to mix their music and reference their tracks, Kali Audio's LP-6 Lone Pine 6.5-inch Studio Monitors are an excellent tool. This monitor is designed to deliver transparent sound for creators working across all genres and features Boundary EQ settings to optimize the speaker's response depending on where it is placed in your room. An advanced waveguide, large voice coil and precision tuning mean this monitor will sound great in any space.The LP-6 audio monitor is designed so you can hear every detail of your mix. Nothing is boosted or suppressed to cover flaws in your tracks, so you will be able to mix with critical precision to mix with confidence and create incredible sounding finished productions. This detailed sound is, in a large part, owed to the monitor's 3-D Imaging waveguide. This waveguide allows you to hear a 3D soundstage from a stereo pair of monitors.By matching the shape of the waveguide to the interactions of the high and low-frequency drivers, this waveguide produces a stereo image that is wider, taller and deeper than the space where the speakers are placed. The LP-6 accomplishes this by ensuring that the speaker's reflected sound matches its direct sound. Every time you hear a loudspeaker, you're hearing both the direct sound from the speaker and reflections from the speaker's signal bouncing off of objects in the room. When those reflections are congruent with the direct sound from the speaker, listeners perceive a better sound overall and are able to make out very subtle details like where microphones are placed in a room. When done well, the stereo image will be three-dimensional. This gives users a very high degree of confidence in their mix. It allows them to mix faster and produce better mixes overall.

Great value! If you need monitors for your project or hobby studio, these are a great option.
These monitors are a crazy good value! The dip switches on the back allow you to adjust their response to be optimized for your mix room, depending on your room and listening position.The bass extends nicely deep and strong. The high end is a little lacking. They aren’t as shimmering as I prefer, but they’re also not hyped and crappy sounding. The mids are a little clumsy, but they provide decent imaging for panning placement.Their dynamic range kinda blows too, but they do hit nice and hard at high volumes. I won’t be listening at those volumes very often, but it’s nice to know it’s there.These are great near-mid field monitors. If you have a bigger mix room (>500 sq ft) get the LP-8s. You’ll need the extra push and low end extension.I’m interested in the sub made for these monitors. If it’s half as good as the full range speakers, it’ll be a good one!

Great speakers at this price
I love these speakers. The value for the money is awesome. The frequency response is pretty well behaved. I have some room mode issues I need to EQ, but these are great out of the box. They don't get super loud especially at some distance. If you want these for a desk, they're great (though large), if you want them for listening at a distance, make sure you don't listen too loud. I'm generally around 85dB or 9ft/3m and they're good for that. Lots of options on the back.Things I don't like:1. The blue light! Why do they go with an annoying blue light that cannot be turned off?? I had to resort to gaffer tape.2. Pretty big in size.3. Wish they could get louder.4. As long as I'm wishing and since they seem to do DSP internally, I wish they had a high pass filter option if I'd be using them with a sub and don't have another option for doing the crossover.They're great for the money though. I really love them.

Incredible Sound and Design - Brilliant Company!
I was about to buy JBL 3-series speakers for my nascent home studio and a composer friend said Hans Zimmer’s mastering engineer recommended Kali Audio over the JBLs.I love JBL, but started doing research on Kali Audio. Despite being a new company, they have plenty of expertise. From what I’ve read, key engineers and designers (3 and 7 series) from JBL left the company and started Kali Audio in 2018. The audio quality and product design - including the brilliant setup options via dip switches - support this story.Kali Audio 6.5” studio monitors simply sound awesome! Soft and sweet with plenty of low-end, but loads of clarity in the mids and hi-end. I haven’t messed with the LF or HF trim on the monitors, just left them flat (you can change +/- 2 db for low and high). The imaging is great too - like having a third speaker in the middle!In short, I am extremely happy with these speakers. They inspire me to create music and make playback of all music very fulfilling.

Sounds Great To Me
Very happy with the sound of these monitors. Not sure if all the hype convinced me of how good they sound, being a novice, I can only say they sound good to me. Big plus is the build quality, seems very solidly built.

High marks for value
For the price I'm stoked on these. We use them for our audio mix for live streaming and in post production as well and I'm very pleased. They are a pleasure to work on, ear fatigue is very minimal with these even after hours of mixing. I've worked with Genelec monitors in the past as my primary daily drivers in studio and in no way am I saying these are the same quality as they are, however I am very pleased with just how much of the quality you get at such a fraction of the cost.

The best monitors under $500 on the market
These monitors are phenomenal, they have such a flat, neutral sound to them that mixing my tracks are way more accurate then it used to be. No built in EQ means your tracks tell you the truth of what you’re lacking and what you need to add.The low end is very present but not overpowering, again, they tell you what you actually need in the track. High end is also very balanced and the fact that the tweeters pop back out when pushed in is fantastic. You get 3 different connections, RCA, TRS and XLR, always great to have options.In the case of the Kali LP-6 monitors, you get more than what you pay for, these speakers could easily be on the market for $600 and still do just as well. Kali Audio customer for life.

The clear audio I was hoping for
I have Sony MDR-7506 headphones, and I wanted something that sounded similar to them. The headphones are known for having very weak bass, but clear and balanced audio. Far too many speakers I looked at and listened to just had the bass turned to 11 and everything else just muddy. These studio monitors are different, they provide the clear balanced audio I was hoping to find. The bass is actually surprisingly strong, more than I expected. The quality of vocals in music and voices in videos are very clear and balanced. I have yet to listen to anything that sounds "muddy". If you are a fan of clear, balanced audio without excessive bass, these are perfect.

What hiss? Amazing studio monitors
I'm blown away by these. I was a little worried about ordering the Kali LP-6, as I've read reviews and seen YouTube videos where people say they emit a noticeable hiss when turned on. I can confidently say these monitors are silent when they're not blasting out sweet, accurate music and tones. And the bass is really pronounced and articulate for monitors this size. I purchased a pair to run stereo with my Line 6 Helix, and I couldn't be happier with the sound. --- As a side note, the first thing I did before even turning them on was pay attention to their location and set the DIP switches on the back according to the instructions. I think that's a big part of using them to the fullest.
