Features
Low Noise Port Tube
The opening below the woofer on the MM-6 is called a port tube, and it’s there to give your speaker
extra bass without requiring a larger, more expensive woofer.
Most port tubes create distracting noise that raises the noise floor of your system and muddies the
low end. For this reason, most port tubes are on the back of the speaker, which makes it tricky to
place the speaker close to a wall.
The design of the port tube on the MM-6 eliminates this problem, allowing you to put the speaker up
against a wall or other boundary without hearing any noise or other problems from the port tube.
3-D Imaging Waveguide
The 3-D Imaging Waveguide allows you to hear a 3-D soundstage from a stereo pair of speakers. By
matching the shape of the waveguide to the interactions of the HF and LF drivers, this waveguide pro-
duces a coherent stereo image that is wider, taller, and deeper than the space where the speakers are
placed. It also means that if you’re listening in a surround or immersive format, you’ll be able to hear
a detailed picture of the sound between the speakers and all around you.
Kali’s team developed the 3-D imaging waveguide to make mixing easier, but it also means that the
MM-6 and the other speakers that use it work better in acoustically challenging rooms, and are more
fun to listen to for long periods of time.
DSP
The MM-6 is equipped with digital signal processing (DSP.) The DSP ocontrols the loudspeaker’s tun-
ing, the limiter function, the crossover, the boundary EQs, and user definable HF and LF trim.
High Performance Woofer
The LP-Series uses a woofer with an exceptionally large voice coil and magnet. This allows for great-
er linearity, resulting in exceptional dynamic range and clarity, as well as extended low end response.
All of this is acheived with minimal distortion.
Boundary Compensation EQs
The boundary compensation EQs on the MM-6 let you put the speakers wherever you like in your
listening environment. Combined with the LF and HF trims, this will ensure that the speakers sound
their best no matter what where they’re placed.
A full listing of the different boundary EQ settings and how to use them can be found on page 12 of
this manual.
