The Kali monitors use switch-mode power supplies, but they are low-noise, over-specified designs that are well built. When the glue ages it becomes electrically conductive and shorts the amplifiers, in the case of early KRK ‘Rokit’, often blowing the tweeter. This is a common issue with many active monitors, especially KRK and Presonus. I took a look inside and was pleased to find the components used are high-quality with no cheap knockoff component brands, and crucially no circuit glue of the type that tends to turn conductive. The cabinet is lined internally with a lagging material to keep resonance at bay, and cables are tensioned and tied in place so nothing inside the speaker can rattle. A similar port is used to great effect in the IN-8, and I find them to be entirely unfussy about room placement and without the sonic downsides I often hear in ported loudspeakers, namely bloated bass caused by the constricted passage of air through the port, or puffing noises as large volumes of air are forced through a thin port tube. The front port tube is moulded as part of the baffle itself, and is shaped using computer simulation to minimise port chuffing by ensuring that air exits the port at a constant velocity. The cabinets comprise a vinyl-wrapped MDF with moulted plastic front baffle. Naturally the LP8s have a slightly larger cabinet, approximately two inches (50 mm) taller and 1 inch (25 mm) wider and deeper, and 1.5KG heavier.

Now in their second wave ‘V2’ iterations, the model number designates the size of the midbass driver (six and eight inches respectively), but otherwise the two share a similar feature set. Project ‘Lone Pine’ consists of two models, the LP-6 and LP8. Since I reviewed them I’ve had numerous requests to look at their entry level range. Nothing else comes close for the money, and far beyond. They are detailed, accurate and plenty loud, and cost around £400GBP each.

The IN-8s are a coaxial three-way monitor with DSP-based boundary correction onboard, custom drivers including a sweet concentric mid/treble unit, and a clever port design that lets you place them whoever you want. It’s no surprise I’m a fan, and have been happily recording and mixing on a pair of IN-8 V2 monitors for a year with no inclination to upgrade. Dre’s “The Chronic) set new standards for accuracy, translatability and classy technology, all at real-world prices.
