Kali Audio - SM-5 5-Inch 3-Way Powered Studio Monitor with DSP EQ, Network Control, 150W Amplification, Coaxial Design

The SM-5 5-Inch 3-Way Powered Studio Monitor is designed for critical listening, mixing, and production environments where accuracy and detail are essential. Featuring a 3-way coincident architecture, it combines a 5-inch woofer, a 4-inch midrange driver, and a coaxial 1-inch metal dome tweeter to function as an acoustic point source, delivering a cohesive soundstage with precise imaging and reduced off-axis inconsistencies commonly found in 2-way designs. User-definable DSP controls allow each speaker to be calibrated to its environment with 8 bands of EQ, along with delay and trim adjustments, and multiple calibration profiles can be stored for different room setups or listening targets. The transducers are engineered for smooth response and low distortion, with a refined woofer design that reduces magnetic flux modulation, a midrange optimized to serve as a waveguide for the tweeter, and a specially designed aluminum dome tweeter that minimizes ultrasonic resonances. With 150W of amplification, less than 1% total harmonic distortion, and a low-frequency response down to 39 Hz (-10 dB), the SM-5 supports full-range monitoring at high output levels, reaching up to 117 dB peak SPL. Part of the Santa Monica series, this monitor is built for professional workflows and immersive audio applications, offering detailed stereo imaging and consistent performance across listening positions. Flexible mounting options with standard 4.25 x 2-inch hole patterns allow integration with compatible speaker mounts, making it suitable for studio installations and multi-speaker setups.
