Perfect for Making and Listening to Music

The Kali Audio LP-UNF is the company’s most compact speaker monitor yet. This pair of studio monitors comes loaded with 4.5-inch woofers and 1-inch tweeters. Combined with the low-noise bass port tube and 3D imaging waveguide, these speakers deliver clear and accurate sound throughout the frequency spectrum. The LP-UNF sounds excellent in almost any environment, thanks to the boundary EQ, which tailors the speaker’s response to fit various monitoring setups. Onboard Bluetooth connectivity enables you to stream audio directly through the monitors, so you can work on a tablet or enjoy your favorite music. Finally, the right monitor features a touch-sensitive volume slider for tactile adjustments. It all adds up to the Kali Audio LP-UNF being an ideal choice for small rooms and ultra-close monitoring.

3D image waveguide

When auditioning the LP-UNF monitors at Sweetwater, we were taken aback by the clarity and imaging. Kali Audio revealed to us this monitor's tweeter and 3D image waveguide are the exact same as those appearing on the fan-favorite LP-6 monitors. This cutting-edge waveguide design minimizes unwanted reflections, ensuring incredible clarity and preventing any sonic smearing. With the LP-UNF’s 3D image waveguide, you get rock-solid imaging that helps you mix faster and deliver better results.

Bluetooth connectivity

Onboard Bluetooth connectivity makes the LP-UNF monitoring system even more capable. For starters, if you’re making beats on your tablet or smartphone, you can bypass the audio interface entirely and stream audio directly to your monitors. Moreover, your clients can use Bluetooth to audition demos and scratch tracks without having to find the correct cellphone adapter. And, of course, Bluetooth allows you to enjoy your favorite music wirelessly.

The wife and I have had these aged Bose Companion 3 (2.1 systems) for over 15 years. They still worked but the volume device was becoming very noisy with static. We listen to music a lot and are avid gamers and decided to up our game. After an exhausting search we landed on these speakers from Kali.

I can honestly say that these speakers can bring tears to your eyes. If all you need is to hear someone talk on YOUTUBE then move on to much less expensive devices. On the other hand if music and immersive gaming audio is your bag then look no further. We love these speakers without reservation.

An added bonus is experiencing the support team at Kali. The wife's speakers would randomly go idle and not play. It seemed random until we further understood what was going on. She had her power savings set to sleep after 15 minutes and when she would come back to her computer the random part would be if the PC reengaged the USB-C connection to the speaker. After adjusting the sleep value to a more reasonable number the problem went away. In closing Kali's support team was responsive and competent.

I am very happy with this purchase. They were recommended to me by my sales advisor, Adam, who also pointed me to an elegant and streamlined pair of isolated stands. Altogether, it is a compact setup for the limited space I have but the increased pleasure I get in fidelity is worth the price of admission. I agree with some reviewers that I wish the plug/connector into the back of the speakers were more robust - while they are (generally) not in harm's way I need to remember to be careful if I am reaching behind them or rearranging items on my desk. I bought this in conjunction with the Solid State Logic SSL2+ sound interface and together, they really transformed my audio experience.

First time buying studio monitors and these sound the BEST!!

I loved the Lp UNF, didn't thought that these little monitors had such a great sound. I'm super happy with my investment. The only downside is the connection with the link cable, the cable is difficult to hide because if you have a bigger desk, the cable is going to be pulled

Updated my studio. My only gripe is the primary to secondary cable. My desk is wide and it was tight. Make it a foot longer kali. Otherwise, Wow. Its like going from 15$ skullcandies to a $ sony headset. I was running the $ alesis 3" for reference. Not a pro audio engineer, but been doing home stuff for a while. Running them together from a 4i4 with the alesis at maybe 40%. When i have more space, i will go to the 6" or 8"s.
