Believe Everything You Hear
Kali Audio’s Santa Monica Series are the best studio monitors we’ve built so far. With unparralled accuracy, imaging, and translation, they present every detail of your mix with pinpoint precision and fidelity.
The SM-Series features user-editable DSP to process room calibration profiles on board, for a perfect fit in your room.
Available in 5- and 8-Inch versions.

1-Inch Aluminum-Dome TweeterThe SM-Series’ aluminum-dome tweeter delivers excellent dynamics, resulting in clear high frequency response without distortion. The tweeter uses a unique geometry to reduce high-Q ultrasonic resonances, eliminating harshness that can make metal tweeters fatiguing over time.
4-Inch Profile-Optimized MidrangeThe SM-Series midrange is optimized not only for its own frequency band, but also for its role as the tweeter’s waveguide. The shape is precision engineered for ideal directivity, and peak-to-peak excursion is limited to under 1mm to prevent intermodulation distortion.
Flux Stabilized WooferThe SM-Series woofer incorporates features that reduce magnetic flux modulation, bringing distortion down dramatically.
Paper is used for both the woofer and midrange cone material. Kali’s testing has shown that, despite its humble nature, paper is ideal in terms of stiffness, weight, and natural damping characteristics.
The SM-Series gives users full control of 8 parametric EQs, delay up to 12ms, and loudspeaker trim. These parameters can be accessed and edited using our Kali Control Panel application, available for both Mac and Windows.
Importantly, since these parameters are processed by the same DSP hardware already in line, using user-defined DSP adds no additional latency to the system. Total digital latency is acceptably low to allow tracking using the SM-Series.
Onboard calibration removes the need for a dedicated room calibration processor. It also prevents some of the confusion and mishap that is possible with a plug-in based processor. Calibration is available for any source you could plug into the speaker, without needing to route it through software, and it will never be active on a mix you print.
Kali has fully documented our recommended room calibration procedures. When you perform the measurement yourself, we can provide room tuning files for a small fee per speaker. More information can be found at Kaliaudio.com/santa-monica-how-to
