New Gear Alert: Kali’s 2nd Wave LP Series Monitors, RESO by Mastering The Mix, Celestion’s Magnificent 7 & More

Kali Audio announces upgraded “2nd Wave” LP-Series Monitors.

This new iteration of Kali’s LP-Series monitors sees crucial improvements from its predecessor.

Kali Audio has announced the 2nd Wave of their best-selling LP-Series studio monitors. The lineup consists of the LP-6, a 6.5-Inch 2-way monitor available in both black and white, and the LP-8, an 8-Inch 2-way monitor.

The new versions of the LP-Series monitors replace the original versions in Kali’s lineup, and use their 2nd Wave technology platform to realize substantial performance improvements. These include 12dB lower self-noise, 3dB higher output thanks to a more sophisticated limiter, more robust DSP for a smoother high frequency response, lighter transducers, and improved construction processes for better cosmetic longevity.

The LP-6 gets 80W of power, with both the 1-inch tweeter and 6.5-inch woofer getting their own 40W amp. The LP-8 gets 100W of power, using the same 40W amp and 1-inch tweeter that the LP-6 uses, and an 8-Inch woofer powered by a 60W amp. Boundary EQ settings are accessible on the back of the speaker, along with a quick reference guide printed directly onto the speaker itself. New for the 2nd Wave version is a boundary EQ for using the speakers on desks with monitor stands.

The LP-6 is priced at $199; LP-8 is priced at $249.

Mastering The Mix announces RESO.

Target problem frequencies and treat them with ease thanks to RESO by Mastering The Mix.

RESO is a dynamic resonance suppressor that helps you quickly identify and resolve resonances in your audio. The smart features help you get the best possible sound by dynamically fixing the problematic resonances without making your music sound thin.

Load up an instance of RESO on any channel and listen closely for resonances. The display, frequency sweep, and “calculate targets” features will help you identify resonant frequencies. Double click anywhere within the main window to create a node. Position the node where you want the resonance suppression to start. The Q is automatically optimized for the frequency of the node. You can scroll to adjust the Q to suit your preference.

RESO is available now for a special introductory promo price of $59 (reg. $69).
