Description
The SM-5 features user-editable DSP to process room calibration profiles on board, for a perfect fit in your room.

The SM-5 gives users full control of 8 parametric EQs, delay up to 12ms, and loudspeaker trim. These parameters can be accessed and edited using our Kali Control Panel* application, available for both Mac and Windows.

Importantly, since these parameters are processed by the same DSP hardware already in line, using user-defined DSP adds no additional latency to the system. Total digital latency is acceptably low to allow tracking using the SM-5s.

Onboard calibration removes the need for a dedicated room calibration processor. It also prevents some of the confusion and mishap that is possible with a plug-in based processor. Calibration is available for any source you could plug into the speaker, without needing to route it through software, and it will never be active on a mix you print.

 

Aluminum-Dome Tweeter

The SM-Series’ aluminum-dome tweeter delivers excellent dynamics, resulting in clear high frequency response without distortion. The tweeter uses a unique geometry to reduce high-Q ultrasonic resonances, eliminating harshness that can make metal tweeters fatiguing over time.

 

Profile-Optimized Midrange

The SM-5’s midrange is optimized not only for its own frequency band, but also for its role as the tweeter’s waveguide. The shape is precision engineered for ideal directivity, and peak-to-peak excursion is limited to under 1mm to prevent intermodulation distortion.

 

Flux Stabilized Woofer

The SM-5s woofer incorporates features that reduce magnetic flux modulation, bringing distortion down dramatically.

 

Recessed Input Panel

The SM-5’s input panel is recessed to allow for easier wall and ceiling mounting. It features inputs for XLR or TRS connectors, AES/EBU in and thru over BNC, and RJ45 (ethernet) for control.

The back of the speaker also features the trim wheel, which allows for precise 0.5 dB adjustments from -12 dB to +6 dB.

 

Capacitive Touch Logo

The Kali logo on the SM-5 has a capacitive touch sensor, acting as a multi-function button to control basic loudspeaker functions like standby mode.

 

Multi-Color LED

The LED on the SM-5 changes color to indicate a variety of statuses, including the trim level, whether a user EQ is being processed, standby mode, and performance warnings.

 

USB Input

The USB-A input on the front of the speaker can be used to load firmware and tunings to the loudspeaker, even if it’s permanently mounted in place.
