Software
User-editable DSP is available using Kali Control Panel software, available for both Mac and Windows. You may find links to download the latest version below.
Kali Control Panel works in both Online Mode, meaning that each speaker is connected to a network with an ethernet cable, or Offline Mode, meaning that you can use a USB thumb drive to load files onto the speaker.
Kali Control Panel is currently in beta, and not all features may work as intended at this time.
Drivers
1-Inch Aluminum-Dome TweeterThe 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.
4-Inch Profile-Optimized MidrangeThe 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.
Paper is used for both the woofer and midrange cone material. Kali’s testing has shown that, despite its humble nature, paper is ideal in terms of stiffness, weight, and natural damping characteristics.
Mounting
The SM–5 features mounting holes on both the top and bottom of the loudspeaker. Kali recommends using a speaker specific U-bracket from Triad-Orbit, but any speaker mount with a 4.25 x 2-Inch bolt pattern that is capable of holding the SM-5’s 21 lbs weight will also work.
