Kali Audio IN-8G V2

Kali Audio IN-8G V2 — a 3-way studio monitor with an 8-inch woofer and a coaxial 4-inch midrange/1-inch tweeter module, finished in Tungsten Grey, running on 140 W of tri-amplified power.

The IN-8G V2 is a color variant of the second-generation IN-8 — same electronics and acoustics, different cabinet finish. Three independent Class D amplifiers deliver 60 W to the woofer and 40 W each to the midrange and tweeter, for 140 W total. Frequency response reaches 37 Hz - 25 kHz (-10 dB), with THD staying under 1% from 50-250 Hz and dropping below 0.3% above 400 Hz. The woofer-to-midrange crossover sits at 280 Hz, and midrange-to-tweeter at 2.8 kHz.

Three drivers instead of two overlapping bands

In a typical 2-way monitor, the woofer and tweeter each have to cover a wider range than is optimal for them, raising distortion and limiting headroom. The IN-8G V2 splits the spectrum into three sections: the 8-inch woofer handles only low frequencies, while the 4-inch midrange with the 1-inch dome nested inside it forms a single acoustic point source for the mids and highs. Midrange excursion is limited to under 1mm peak-to-peak, so its movement doesn't interfere with the tweeter. The result: a stable stereo image with precise placement of mix elements, useful when working in immersive formats like Dolby Atmos.

Wall and ceiling mounting without extra adapters

Surround and immersive setups need speakers positioned beyond a standard stand-mounted pair. The IN-8G V2 ships ready for wall or ceiling mounting (marked "Wall/Ceiling Mountable" on the amplifier panel) and works with the SM-KP8 adapter plate and SM-UM1 mount from the Triad-Orbit system. Boundary EQ, set via rear-panel DIP switches, compensates for common placement scenarios — on a stand near a wall, on a meter bridge vertically or horizontally, on a desk — while LF and HF trim controls (±2 dB) close the gap for the specific room.
