Kali’s Ultimate Speaker
Kali’s founding principle is to deliver the best possible product for the price. Our speakers have always been praised for their accuracy, translation, and ease of use. The SM-Series builds on these ideals, and incorporates the best available materials, components, and manufacturing.
The result is a high performance studio monitor that is ready for the most demanding mixing and mastering applications.
With onboard processing for room calibration, each speaker can be programmed with delays, trims, and EQs to deliver accurate response in your room.
