Works really well for me, Still doing the subwoofer crawl, and have a second sub to use with the kali and my 2 Yamaha towers in my 5.2.6 setup, but everything looks good so far. I had a KC62 a few month ago, and this kali is not too far away from it imho. A SVS SB-1000 I also tested but this worked not so well with music, so the KC62 was it, but way too expensive so I gave it back and go now with the KALI.

@Xander1125_ 20 дней назад

This is a fantastic video, and I appreciate the work you've put into it. I do have some comments about it for clarification on some things: I may be misunderstanding something here, but all the extra frequency bumps and extended range of the Kali is actually NOT ideal for a studio mixing representation. The hs8 rolling off around 100hz is ideal for where it would meet up with your other full range speakers to avoid mud and have a flat frequency response across the spectrum. The flatter response between 30-100hz without any significant bumps is also ideal, because it better replicates the actual audio signal it's receiving, rather than putting its own flare on it. If you're looking to buy for simply enjoying music, you can grab whatever you like the sound of more and these charts don't matter. Also nobody should be listening to 100+ decibel sub frequencies for long periods of time, or they risk hearing damage. Ideal listening volume is between 60-80db which is PLENTY for small rooms. The charts showing the difference in sub frequency up at 100db or more is not relevant for PROPER studio usage, because you shouldn't mix that loud anyways. So with all that said, is the Kali really the best choice for studio usage, or is it better for just listening to music and feeling the extended bass?

@JC-fj7oo 7 месяцев назад

I think something that was left out which is extremely important is the actual crossover. Most people using these subs (for studio monitoring) are going to follow the instructions and plug into the sub and then run out to the speakers from there. The crossover itself can introduce all sorts of problems if it isn't done right. It can add noise, it can create dips or peaks... And adding another mastering-quality crossover to the mix can be easily another hundred bucks. And of course it requires more cables and more fiddling.

@chinmeysway 5 месяцев назад

seems like running say kali monitors out of a kali sub is the forethought on this here sub, so the given 80hz crossover selection is sufficient.

@JC-fj7oo 5 месяцев назад

@@chinmeysway there's more than one Kali monitor... There's also a different size and shaped rooms. In fact I have the Kali and I'm actually dealing with a null around 100hz that would probably be fixed by changing the crossover. An option that's only available with the Yamaha. But that also doesn't say anything about the quality of the crossover itself.

Man Erin you are so good at these reviews but they leave me wanting more information that is important to help understand if they will work in a given system. Are they good for floorstanding speakers down to 40Hz? Are they good for larger monitors that go as low as 50Hz or for smaller monitors that need to be crossed over at 80 Hz? There are no measurements of how well the crossovers work at various settings including the lowest frequency. We also have no idea about enclosure resonance, does the speaker buzz at higher frequencies even if we set a low crossover? What about in-room response and best positioning? Output, group delay and distortion are very important but so much important data is still missing. There is no way I can conclude if these subwoofers would be a good fit for me.

@ErinsAudioCorner 10 месяцев назад

Because those factors are invariably tied to your mains and your room. There’s no way for me to know and cover everyone’s setup. I’d need to know the rolloff of the mains. I would need to know the position of the speakers in the room. See measurements of the response in the room to know if crossing over at one point makes more than another. Just way too many variables to be generic about it, unfortunately.

@murraywebster1228 29 дней назад

I find your definition a bit off for what we in the pro world would call sub/bass/bass-mid, when I talk to colleagues then sub is generally 20-80 Hz, bass 60-160 Hz, bass-mid 120-240, you may wonder about the overlapping, this is due to what is percieved as these areas depending on the instrument that is being talked about in that moment as the areas as a range will change in respect to dynamic and sound characteristics of the instrument, but generally you could say the crossover frequencies would be 80 and 160 Hz which also reflects the range that certain boxes produce in large systems, you may also note that these are generally picked to be generally split into 2 to 4 octaves in the lower frequencies which is convenient for amplifier power distribution, you often speak of 100-120 Hz as bass middle, maybe the middle of the „bass“ frequencies but when someone talks to me about this I am thinking in the 160 Hz area, and then low-mids being @ 240 Hz, this probably came about more from the power distribution and musical scales as opposed to pure mathematical splitting of a logarithmic scale, remember you have musicians communicating with engineers out of which is a acceptance from what is sub-bass-lowmid-highmid-high, and that depending on the instrument,eg bass guitar vs electric guitar…

You never uploaded the measurement for the kali sub to your site

Erin - Question - Can I buy two and use them as my speaker "stands" for my new Adam Audio T5V's? They would hide behind my 43" monitor and the ports would be exposed on the bottom... Could be wild for gaming!

@ErinsAudioCorner 10 месяцев назад

Hmmm. Possibly it. Just make sure it’s high enough to put the tweeters on axis.

@07wrxtr1 10 месяцев назад

@@ErinsAudioCorner Just ordered a single... going to see if I can squeeze it in behind the monitor... should be more than enough for the bedroom. Pray for me that it lasts > 5 years... I have 2 pairs of 2016 M-Audio (M3-6's and M3-8's - all the made in China amps have crapped out) that have had various issues... Sometimes I want to go back to external amps > plate amps... but that's a whole different debate

Wow, I wonder how the Kali manages to output so much volume at those low frequencies with such small drivers.

Two 6.5" woofers equal about one 9" woofer. Ported 10" subs with comparibly powerful amps have a fair bit more SPL capability (and extension, this rolls of steeply from 32Hz), so this checks out. The Yamaha is just terrible.

@marktrainer118 9 месяцев назад

Are these SPL measurements referenced to a ground plane (2pi) or actual full space (4pi)

@ErinsAudioCorner 9 месяцев назад

FR is full space. CEA-2010 is groundplane 2m, peak.

Hmmm, Polk PSW10 $150 - buy Duals (or better still three) for Room dialed-in bass (granted NOT down to 20hz) -OR- spend $100 more and blow the snot out of both of these subs with the Monoprice Monolith THX 10". Well, just one man's opinion anyhow...

@hu._- 11 месяцев назад

rolls off at 40Hz ... seems like a woofer to me, not a subwoofer ... my tower speakers are -3dB at 23Hz ... not to say they are not worth adding to some bookshelf speaker setups .. just my opinion of what "sub" means

@ErinsAudioCorner 11 месяцев назад

What speakers are you running? Speaking from experience: For them to roll off that low they must be huge, have low sensitivity or the manufacturer is full of it.
