Kali's famous LP-8 studio monitors have just received a major upgrade. With improvements in noise level, output level, frequency response and distortion, the 2nd Wave of Project Lone Pine are the best monitors you can buy

Transparency. Clarity. Accuracy.

Kali Audio's Lone Pine Series studio monitors are designed to let you hear every detail happening in your mix.

This starts with an extremely accurate frequency response. Whatever's in your mix is what you'll hear on these monitors. Nothing is boosted or suppressed to cover up flaws or try to sound more pleasing.

With the LP-6 and LP-8, you can mix with more confidence, and you can also be sure that your mix will translate as well as possible to whatever systems your audience is using. The 2nd Wave goes even further, using a more powerful DSP for an even flatter frequency response at the top end.

Double layer voice coil

Large diameter voice coil allows for low distortion and high dynamic range.

Low Noise Port Tube

Precisely designed using airflow simulations for powerful bass without port noise.

LPs have always been praised for their accuracy, and we're happy to share that the 2nd Wave releases make small but noticeable improvements in this regard, particularly at the top end.

Full resolution measurement data is available below.

Kali Audio defines a listening distance as the maximum distance at which speakers can play continuously at 85 dB while maintaining 20 dB of dynamic headroom.

This means that anywhere within this listening distance, you can listen for long periods of time at reference volume, and momentary peaks such as bass drops or boom effects will come through clearly and with minimal distortion. The LP-6 has enough output for most 1-2 person setups and the LP-8 can handle larger setups with ease. Full output specifications, along with maximum listening distances, can be found in our user manual.

The bass in the LP series monitors is provided by larger magnets and larger voice coils than any comparable speakers on the market. This gives you more accurate bass response that extends lower so you can hear exactly the low end sound you need. The bass response isn't boosted or exaggerated, but you can be sure you're hearing the bass you've got in the track.

Protective limiters prevent harmful voltage from ever reaching the drivers, so there's no risk of these speakers blowing up. These have been updated for the 2nd wave, allowing 3dB higher output. It uses 40W for the 1″ soft dome tweeter and 60W for the 8″ woofer

Boundary EQ Control

A speaker's given position in a room can drastically change its frequency response. A speaker mounted on a wall or on a desk will sound very different from a speaker mounted on a stand, even in a well-maintained space. Hard surfaces such as walls, desk tops, and recording consoles can alter the monitor's low-frequency response and degrade overall sound clarity.

Fortunately, most common positions are fairly predictable and easy to fix.

The Kali team did our Boundary EQ tuning at The Village Studios in Los Angeles and came up with Boundary EQ settings to help you get the optimal sound for where you need to place your speakers. For the 2nd wave, the limit equalizers have been updated for using the speakers in a desk with monitor stands.

Combined with the LF and HF liners, this will ensure that the speakers sound their best, no matter what room you're mixing in or where the speakers are located.

Easy connections

The LP-6 and LP-8 feature balanced XLR and TRS inputs and an unbalanced RCA input.

The RCA input can be set to -10 dBu sensitivity when using consumer devices such as the headphone jack of a laptop or smartphone.
