Kali Audio Ultra-Nearfield Studio Monitor System

About: Kali Audio Ultra-Nearfield Studio Monitor System

The IN-UNF is specifically designed to sit on your desk, and your desk is incorporated as an acoustic member of the system. Reflections from the drivers to the desk to your ears are accounted for, giving you a perfectly clear picture of your mix that you can rely on to translate well.

The IN-UNF consists of three main pieces: a bass unit and two satellites. The bass unit houses two high-excursion 4.5-Inch woofers as well as the amplifier and other electronics for the system. The two woofers are horizontally opposed, so no net vibration is transferred to the desk or to anything sitting on the bass unit.

The two satellites use the same coaxial midrange and tweeter as Kali’s acclaimed IN-5 and IN-8 studio monitors.

The midrange/tweeter satellites are spherical, and sit on a silicone pad that lets you adjust their angle so that they’re aimed precisely at your ears.

The bass unit also houses the IN-UNF’s inputs, including a USB-C input which supports 24-bit resolution and up to 48kHz sample rate. Connect your computer, laptop, tablet, phone, or other USB-capable audio devices.

iOS devices with a lightning connector requires Apple’s Camera Adapter Kit, sold separately.

Balanced TRS, 3.5mm, and optical inputs are also provided for easy connection to pro audio and consumer devices, as well as gaming consoles and televisions.

Setup Options

• Set the bass unit vertically so that it takes up less space and you can put your monitor in front of it.
• Set the bass unit vertically so that it takes up less space and you can put your laptop in front of it.
• Set the bass unit horizontally and use it as a monitor riser. Because of the horizontally-opposed woofers, the IN-UNF won’t transfer vibration to your desk, or to anything that’s sitting on top of it.

DIP Switches let you place the IN-UNF wherever your desk is, whether it’s against a wall, in the middle of a room, in a corner, or even in a tight space with walls on either side.

You can also control the trim level of the low frequency, midrange, and high frequency drivers with +/- 2 dB trim controls.

If you’re in the mood for a party, you can turn the bass up +4 dB!
