About Your Speakers Congratulations on your Kali Audio IN-UNF studio monitoring system! The IN-UNF is a unique product 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 IN-UNF, if you have space to sit down, you have space for a studio.
About Your Speakers Features DSP The IN-UNF is equipped with digital signal processing (DSP.) The DSP controls the loudspeaker’s tuning, the limiter function, the crossover, the boundary EQs, and user-definable bandpass trims. System Overview Bass Unit The bass unit is the heart of the IN-UNF. It houses two long-excursion, horizontally opposed 4.5-inch woofers.

Inputs and Controls Kali Audio IN-UNF Users’ Guide 8
Inputs and Controls 3.5mm Input The 3.5mm input allows convenient connection to a wide range of devices. In addition to devices with 3.5mm outputs, adapters for other output unbalanced analog connectors are easy to find. TRS Inputs The TRS inputs allow connection to professional audio devices, as well as high end receivers with balanced outputs.
First Time Setup Step 1: Position your system in your room. Place the system in the middle of the room, against a wall, or in a corner. You can even place the system in a carrel, or put your desk so that you have a wall behind you, and immediately to either side. Avoid setting the system up so that your back is up against a wall. This will cause bass buildups between the system, the wall, and your listening position. This is not a valid position for monitoring.
First Time Setup Step 1: Position your system in your room. Aim the tweeters of the satellites so that they’re aimed directly at your ears. Experiment with moving them slightly in and out to get the best possible stereo picture. Position yourself about arm’s length from the system. Step 2: Decide on vertical or horizontal placement for the bass unit. There is not necessarily an acoustic advantage to either position, so choose the one that works best with the space on your desk.
First Time Setup Step 3: Use the printouts from the quickstart guide to position your system on your desk. Place the printouts under the front corners of the bass unit, and then place the satellites in the marked position on the printout. Carefully slide the printouts out when done, and place them aside. If you’ve lost your printouts, you can download new ones from the Kali Audio website. Step 4: Plug in the IN-UNF. The banana plugs from each satellite connect to the left side of the IN-UNF bass unit.
First Time Setup Step 5: Place the rest of your deskscape around and on the IN-UNF Without disturbing the arrangement of the sattelites in relation to the woofer, place your computer, monitor screen, laptop, keyboard and/or mouse on your desk. DO NOT place laptops or other electronics that are magnetically sensitive directly on the bass unit. The strong magnets of the bass unit may damage hard drives or other magnetically sensitive components.

Troubleshooting 1. I opened the speaker, and it is damaged. If you received a speaker that is obviously damaged, please contact your dealer immediately. 2. The speaker is making no sound. • • • • • Is the speaker plugged in? Is the speaker turned on? There should be a blue LED on the front of the bass unit if it’s on. If this light is off, the speaker may be turned off or the LED might be disengaged with the DIP switches.
