About Your Speakers
Congratulations on your Kali Audio LP-UNF studio monitoring system! The LP-UNF is a unique prod-
uct that creates a professional mixing environment at arm’s length, allowing you to work effectively
in places where space and the ability to make noise are at a premium. With the LP-UNF, if you have
space to sit down, you have space for a studio.
What Does LP-UNF Mean?
The LP-UNF is part of our Project Lone Pine series of loudspeakers, and it shares much of its tech-
nology with our best selling LP-6 and LP-8 V2 studio monitors. Project Lone Pine is named after a
town in the Eastern Sierra Mountains in Califoria where climbers depart to summit Mt. Whitney, the
highest mountain in the continental US.
UNF
stands for “Ultra-Nearfield.” The LP-UNF achieves reference level of 85 dB at just .8 meters, or
arm’s length. So you experience the mix to the fullest possible extent from the listening position, but
you don’t bother others around you.
Features
Desktop Monitoring and Boundary EQs
The LP-UNF has been developed specifically as a desktop monitoring system. As such, the LP-UNF’s
tuning takes reflections from your desk into account, providing neutral sound in what is normally a
difficult acoustic environment. Combined with the boundary EQs, which can be adjusted for the sys-
tem’s proximity to walls, this allows for reliable monitoring in a variety of tight spaces.
A full diagram of the boundary EQs and other user-definable parameters can be found on pages 14-
Robust Inputs
The LP-UNF feautres TRS, RCA, USB-C, and Bluetooth 5.1 inputs, allowing you to easily connect to
whatever gear you’re already using. Full specifications for all these inputs can be found on pages 9-11
Acoustic Technology
The LP-UNF is based on our best-selling LP-6 and LP-8 V2 speakers. A 3-D imaging waveguide is
employed to create a detailed, lifelike stereo image where all of the elements of the mix can be clear-
ly perceived in space. The large front-firing port tube uses a unique, fluid dynamics derived geometry
that eliminates port noise and compression. This allows you to place the speakers against walls with-
out worrying about adverse effects on the port’s performance.
The LP-UNF’s tweeter is the same 1-Inch textile dome used on the other LP- and even our IN-Series
speakers. A high-excursion 4.5-Inch woofer handles the low end, comfortably providing frequency
response below 40 Hz.
