I use these way outside the intended use as ultra near field monitors, putting them on either side of my TV while connected to a sub in my small bedroom for both watching movies/shows and airplaying music, and I typically listen 1.5-2 meters away on my bed or desk, raised to ear level using stands. The measurements and impressions of this little speaker are impressive for the price, and seemed to fit the bill for me as small, inexpensive speakers with an accurate/flat response and low distortion. I was worried about performance since I'm using them a little farther than the intended .8m, and also being too dry/boring since they are studio monitors, but I'm very happy with the sound; it's balanced, clear, and very revealing with accurate imaging and a strong phantom center, even when I'm not perfectly on axis like lying on the bed. It gets plenty loud for a small-medium sized bedroom, especially if you add a sub, and you'll have no problem feeling immersed in both music and shows being very clear and detailed, but in a pleasantly natural and non-fatiguing way. The DIP switches are especially helpful in shaping the sound further and I found it really easy to find a balanced and pleasing sound for my placement just using familiar media to fine tune them. My only negative might be the interconnect cable being of an unusual connector type and fairly short at 5 feet, making it hard to conceal the cable if you use it a little farther part than the recommended .8m, but there is an 8ft accessory cable you can buy direct from Kali, or if you have cable skills, make your own. Overall, I'm very happy with these speakers and don't feel I'll be buying anything else for a long time.

my previous computer speakers were the original Kanto era and a sub 8. I loved this, and with the subwoofer the speakers shined above 100 Hz. this was a perfect setup for my desk. THEN, I went and bought the KEF LS50WII and the KC92 for the living room. this sounds fantastic, and having the ability to adjust the high and lowpass filter to the subwoofer made fine tuning the subwoofer very simple. this new set up began to detach me from the Kanto built in crossover at 100hz. I began to appreciate music with a cross over closer to 50 hz. Even though my sub placement is excellent, and I cannot localize the sub, I enjoyed hearing the frequencies from the main speakers, at lower listening levels. so I tried the Klipsch Egg Duo. these were excellent, but lacked in the low range, and became distorted with bass, and mid range heavy tracks, having a hollow sound. (prior to the KEF in the living room I tried Kanto TUK and Klipsch RPM 50 with a speed woofer, and SB3000Pro. all were not fit for my taste) Then I tried the Kali audio UNF. The bass is incredible coming out of these little giants, no subwoofer needed. I actually looked under my desk thinking the sub was somehow still magically here in the room. the sound is incredible near field (.8 meters away) and also through out the home they sound lovely too. I am actually enjoying them more than the LS50 for music listening at moderate to low volumes. I love listening to women's vocals. Rihanna, Amya Rodriguez, Julia Pratt, Amy Margret, Mens higher range vocals like SYML, Noah Kahan, John Legend, and Ash Radford. all sound excellent with these speakers. they sound so plain. I think im hearing a flat response. there is simply music. it's something im not used to, and I really am enjoying these speakers. ALOT. for the price these are worth every Penny. I love how there is not a Sub out, so they are a dedicated music only pair of speakers. Im forced to take them as they are, and not try to make them better by adding something else. FWIW. I am using a MAC studio, the Aux out to RCA. according to Apple this is a High Res signal. its analogue. I made the switch a few years ago, and now I hate bluetooth. I cannot comment on the DAC abilities. I am very happy with my purchase, and I am very happy I chose these over the Kanto ORA 4. I love my Kanto ORAs, and they will have a place in a secondary room. but for my desk that gets 4-8 hours of music per day, these speakers are magic.

Although mine arrived with a defective "-" touch button, the sound quality is incredible for 4.5 inch monitors. They aren't lying when they say they can hit as low as 39hz. The stereo image ("soundstage" for all you audiophiles) is absolutely crazy!I know a lot of people want to know how these perform next to Kali's LP-6 v2's. Today is your lucky day:Kali LP-UNF's:- Better for small rooms- Wider stereo image (soundstage)- Punchier- Crisper sound (some might describe it as "bitey")- Ear-fatigue happens a lot faster than when using the LP-6 v2's.- Very compact and better for small setupsKali LP-6 v2's:- More body and articulation in the low frequencies- Flatter frequency response- Rather than "crisp" or "bitey", I'd describe these as "tubby" and "smooth".- Not as good as the LP-UNF's for a room that's not acoustically-treated- Ear fatigue takes a long time to set inIn the end, I went with the LP-6 v2's. Being that I do a lot of mastering, being able to more accurately hear the low end is crucial for getting tracks to translate across various systems. How quickly ear-fatigue sets in is a major factor I take into consideration when it comes to monitors. I'm able to work much longer on the LP-6 v2's. I also very much prefer the "tubby" and "smooth" sound of the LP-6 v2's versus the "crispy", "bitey", and "punchy" sound of the LP-UNF's. The thing I will miss about the LP-UNF's is their incredibly wide stereo image. The first time I heard them, I literally said, "Wow" out loud. I've never heard that sort of stereo image in any other speaker I've listened to.I may be biased, but I really think Kali should rethink the LP-UNF's touch buttons. I feel like they're not nearly as reliable as traditional knobs. It also takes much longer to turn the volume up and down. Another thing I don't like about the LP-UNF's is the connector they use to connect the two monitors. The connector sits loosely when plugged in all the way and sticks out too far. They should really think about implementing a tighter-fitting angled connector for this so that the monitors can be placed closer to the wall (Despite common advice, this is the best place for monitors to be in small home-studios. It has to do with speaker boundary interference (SBIR) and how the offending frequency moves up the frequency range as you move closer to the wall. This makes the SBIR easier to control with thinner acoustic treatment rather than having to resort to bass traps at all of your first reflection points/front wall. Against the wall, the offending frequency would be around 250hz. Acoustically treating this issue is a piece of cake).I know a lot of you want to know how both of these monitors compare to Yamaha's HS5's. I'll start by saying that everything in the LP series beats the HS5's by miles in my opinion. The HS5's are incredibly bright. I'd go as far as saying they sound "harsh". The ear-fatigue sets in VERY quickly. The only role I could see the HS5's playing is as a secondary pair of monitors. I would not mix with them, but I've found them useful for checking my masters on. Sometimes they can reveal problems that other speakers can't.Just to comfort anyone that might be wondering, the LP-UNF's totally CAN be used for mastering. I've definitely gotten good results with them. However, I found myself craving more clarity and articulation in the low frequencies. I find myself having to do less "car tests" when mastering with the LP-6 v2's.Kali's customer service was wonderful. I sent them a video of how the touch button functioned and they offered to send me out a new pair once mine were in the mail. However, in the end, I opted to return the LP-UNF's and upgrade to the LP-6 v2's--a decision I do not at all regret. I sure will miss that nice stereo image though.

Suena increíble, muy nítido, sin distorsión, muy lineal. Los tengo en una habitación de 4x3 m y el volumen es más que suficiente.Estoy satisfecho con la compra.

The Kali LP-UNF offers great value for money, with a flat frequency response and excellent off-axis performance, delivering clear and accurate sound. The built-in DSP room correction provides multiple modes, making it easy to optimize your listening environment. The USB-C input is a convenient and practical addition, simplifying connectivity. Overall, it's a feature-packed, high-quality monitor speaker, perfect for budget-conscious users who don’t want to compromise on performance.

After a lot of searching I found the Kali LP-UNF, and I'm glad I did.The sound, the details, the construction... Simply brilliant!Highly recommended.

I wanted to replace my aging Creative T50 speakers. After much reading I tried the AudioEngine a2+ speakers. They were awful, worse sound than my T50's. After even more reading I decided to chance the Kali Audi LP-UNF speakers. Overall sound quality is definitely better tan the T50s, particularly in the base, but I'm not sure that its worth the price difference between the T50 and The LP-UNFs.There are annoyances. I have a 35 inch screen and the cable that connects the two speakers is only just wide enough for this distance. This cable also has a tendency to become disconnected when moving the speakers around to fine tune the sweet spot.Other niggles are1. ,Evident before you buy, but all controls are on the reverse of one of the speakers.2. The speakers do not have a standby mode, so have to be switched off overnight or when otherwise not in use. This is a Kali recommendation to preserve speaker life. Reaching behind the speaker to switch it off , given the limited space available, is annoying.

Wollte ein upgrade von meinen Edifier RT1700BT für den PC, hauptsächlich ging es mir um die Klangqualität. Ich muss dazu sagen, dass ich damals, zumindest für den Preis, mit den Edifier sehr zufrieden war und hatte sie jetzt auch einige Jahre. Die Kali LP-UNF kosten das doppelte, aber das Geld ist bestens investiert!!! Vor der Bestellung habe ich tagelang reviews und Forenbeiträge durchgelesen...Stand Oktober 24 gibt es um den Preis momentan wohl nichts besseres.Die Kali sind kompakte, sehr gut verarbeitete (ultra) Nahfeldmonitore (Armlänge Abstand), sprich sie sind ziemlich linear im Frequenzspektrum und "Erin's audio corner" hat das auch bestätigt. Man kann sie also auch (portabel) für mixing und mastering verwenden. Ich benutze sie zum Musik hören und gamen.Die INSTALLATION war simple, man hat die Möglichkeit sie mit Cinch an der Soundkarte des Pc anzuschliessen, oder sie mit usb-c zu verbinden (Laptop).Weiters direkt mit Bluetooth 5.0 (maximal aptx standard- Lautstärkeregelung seperat an Box und Smartphone möglich- nützlich zum feinjustieren wenn die Lautstärkesprünge mit dem Handy zu groß sind, BT wird sofort vom PC oder Smartphone erkannt, keine Abbrüche!!). Lautstärkeregelung vorne an Box.Verbunden werden die 2 Aktivboxen (braucht keinen extra Verstärker) - und hier kommt der einzige Kritikpunkt- mit einem relativ kurzen, dicken und steifen Kabel. Das Kabel geht hinten gerade raus, braucht also ca 10 cm Abstand von der Wand. Man muss das Kabel sehr fest reindrücken, dann klickt es leicht und hält dann auch, hab ich aber in einem Forum nachlesen müssen. Ein gewinkeltes, weniger steifes Kabel wäre besser gewesenEs gibt auf der Rückseite ein paar kleine Schalter um die Boxen z.B. an die Aufstellungsposition (weg von Wand, nah an Wand, Freistehend auf Ständern) anzupassen. Weiters Schalter +-2db LS und HS für Bässe und Höhen Anpassung und Schalter LED vorne an/aus (LED ist ziemlich hell und blau).... die Schalter funktionieren und haben auch tatsächlich Einfluss auf den Klang. Sehr nützlich!SOUND:Hab ältere KEF 104/2 Standoxen an der Hauptanlage und ein paar nicht ganz billige Kopfhörer undin-ears, sprich hab schon besseres als man alten Edifier gehört und einen gewissen Anspruch.BASS: Die Kali haben für Nahfeld/Desktopboxen und kleine Räume genug Bass und der geht hörbar tief runter (ca 45 HZ :-)) - und das allerbeste- bis ca 90db so gut wie keine Verzerrung. Wem zu wenig/zu viel- gibt ja die 2db Schalter an der Box. Bin schwerst beeindruckt von der Qualität und dem punch der kleinen woofer.Empfehle dringend bei Desktopnutzung schaumstoff unter die Boxen zu legen, sonst vibriert der Tisch bei höheren Lautstärken! Bei geringer Lautstärke auch richtig gut weil auch da Bass, Mitten und Höhen ausgeglichen rüberkommen. Muss also am Abend nicht unbedingt Kopfhörer benutzen.MITTEN: Präsent (ja wirklich- kein V), klar und unauffällig im positiven Sinn. Sprich akkurat. Stimmen männlich/ weiblich gut-schön.HÖHEN: auch sehr gut und hoch auflösend, nicht künstlich aufgeblasen, mir aber eine spur zu hell, daher -2db Schalter an.Seperation/Imaging: TopHab von Elektro über Rock/Metal, Klassik und Jazz einiges angehört und sie sind für alle Genres geeignet weil eben Linear. Kein Spaß? Finde ich nicht, der Bass ist von Quantität und Qualität locker ausreichend für Desktop. Große Räume kann man natürlich nicht damit beschallen (man hört die Musik aber auch in einem 30 m2 Raum noch gut und sie klingt nicht schlecht für Nebenbei). Wer für elektronische Musik die tiefsten Bässe unter 40 Hz möchte...da hilft nur ein Subwoofer.Für den Preis und den Anwendungszweck (Nahfeld) bin ich tatsächlich begeistert vom Sound !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Ich spiele mich zwar gerne mit dem EQ herum um alles an meine Vorlieben anzupassen. Nötig ist es bei diesen Boxen meiner Meinung nach allerdings nicht :-).Zusammenfassung:Pros: Top verarbeitet, platzsparend, sehen finde ich auch ganz gut aus- sind auf jeden Fall unauffällig-weil schlicht.Sound weit über den Erwartungen für den Preis, gegen jede Erwatung druckvoller und qualitativ hochwertiger Bass,akkurate Mitten, seidige Höhen.Funktionell, auch bei geringer Lautstärke sehr gutCons: Verbindungskabel zwischen Boxen zu steif und nicht gewinkelt. Sonst tatsächlich nixEmpfehlenswert ???: Wem klar ist für welche Zwecke die Boxen gedacht sind..Ja, auf jeden Fall!!! War selten so begeistert!!!
