What you need to know
- Ultra-nearfield monitoring designed for the desk: precise stereo image and full-range response optimized at approximately 0.8 m, incorporating the acoustic impact of the desk surface.
- Intelligent active 2.1 architecture: a central bass unit + two coaxial satellites for detailed, coherent, and easy-to-place listening.
- Zero unwanted vibrations on the desk: two high-excursion woofers mounted in opposition in the bass unit, limiting vibrations transmitted to objects placed on it.
- Comprehensive connectivity, including USB-C: USB-C (24-bit / 48 kHz), Toslink optical, 3.5 mm mini-jack, and 2 balanced TRS inputs for seamless switching between studio and multimedia sources.

A New Angle in the IN Range: Kali Precision in a Desktop Format
With the IN-UNF, Kali Audio applies the "reference monitor" approach of its IN series to a context often overlooked: nearfield listening at a desk. Where many compact systems behave like multimedia speakers, the IN-UNF is designed as a true working tool, capable of delivering a fine reading of balances, panoramas, and short reverb tails at close distance.The satellites feature a coaxial midrange/tweeter assembly inspired by the IN-5 and IN-8 monitors: the goal is to maintain phase coherence and image stability, even in tight environments. Meanwhile, the bass unit centralizes amplification and connectivity while extending the low end to achieve a more "full-band" listening experience than a simple pair of small monitors.
Who Benefits from the IN-UNF and in What Use Cases?
The IN-UNF is aimed at musicians, beatmakers, podcasters, video editors, and content creators working at a compact workstation. It is ideal if you mix at close range, if your room is not extensively treated, or if you frequently switch between professional sources (interface, mixer, controller) and consumer devices (computer, console, TV).Thanks to its "desk-top" format, you quickly get usable monitoring without needing bulky speaker stands. And since the system accounts for desk reflections in its design, it aims for more reliable reproduction in this specific context, with a more coherent translation to other listening systems.

Questions frequently asked
Is the Kali Audio IN-UNF suitable for a compact desk setup?
This system is designed for ultra-nearfield listening on a desk, with a recommended listening distance of 0.8 m. The satellites feature silicone-padded swivels allowing precise aiming of the speakers towards the listening position.
What inputs are available on this system?
The bass unit centralizes a USB-C input up to 24 bit / 48 kHz, balanced TRS inputs, a 3.5 mm mini-jack, and a Toslink optical input. These connections allow linking an audio interface, a computer, or a compatible multimedia source.
What is the low-frequency response?
The specified frequency response ranges from 47 Hz to 21 kHz at +/- 3 dB. The bass unit employs two 4.5-inch long-throw woofers mounted in horizontal opposition.
Can the equalization be adjusted according to placement?
Trim adjustments for LF, MR, and HF allow +/- 2 dB tuning. A bass boost of +4 dB is also available.
What power and sound level are provided for nearfield mixing?
The total amplification is 220 W, distributed as 2 x 60 W for the satellites and 100 W for the bass unit. The indicated listening level is 85 dB at 0.8 m, with a maximum SPL of 103 dB. Each satellite integrates a 4-inch driver and a 1-inch textile tweeter in a coaxial configuration.
