## Description

From the manufacturer Project Watts About Kali Audio Kali Audio was founded in January 2018 by some of the most talented and passionate individuals in the professional audio industry. All products are designed and engineered in California, and each product line is named after a different city in California. Kali's IN-8 is one of the most innovative studio monitors ever made. It combines the natural advantages of a 3-way design with the hyper-realistic imaging of a coaxial midrange and tweeter, providing more transparency, less distortion and a soundstage that you simply have to hear. Active 12″ Subwoofer, low distortion, transparent sound, unique bass reflex system, crossover with 6 crossover frequencies Limiter protection circuit, bypass by foot switch, Class D amplifier, power: 1000W Peak / 500W Continous, frequency response: 23Hz - 160 Hz (-10dB) Frequency range: 30 Hz - 160 Hz (+/- 3dB), Max. Sound pressure level: 123 dB SPL, Inputs: XLR, 6.3mm jack (balanced), Cinch Input sensitivity XLR/6.3 mm jack: 106 dB SPL @1m +4 dBu, input sensitivity cinch: 106 dB SPL @1m -10 dBV, foot switch connector: 6.3 mm jack In the box: Kali Audio WS-12 active studio subwoofer 48.3 x 43.2 x 40.7 cm, 29kg Features Performance One of the key design specifications for the WS-12 is that it be capable of providing bass management in a 5.1 system where all of the full-range speakers are Kali IN-8s. As such, the WS-12 is powered by a 1000W power amplifier mated to a high-excursion 12-Inch driver. This much power also makes the WS-12 a capable live subwoofer. Its enclosure is 18mm plywood and it has handles for easy carrying. Kali’s team made sure that it will fit in small passenger cars, so you can take it with you even when you’re calling a ride to get to your gig! All this power is controlled by a robust, user-friendly DSP section that let you dial in the exact settings you need for your system. Whether you’re using it with a pair of LP-6s, as bass management in a 5.1 system, or on stage with a PA, it’s easy to configure the WS-12 to get exactly what you need. For use with KALI AUDIO MONITORS The WS-12 was designed as a companion subwoofer for Kali’s LP- and IN-Series Studio monitors. When used with a pair of Kali monitors, the subwoofer’s crossover and gain settings can be configured to precisely match those of the full-range monitors. With these settings dialed in, set the subwoofer between the speakers, and turn all speakers’ volume knob either to noon or all the way up. The subwoofer’s level will be exactly where it needs to in order to match the full- range speakers. The WS-12 can be used for bass management in systems as large as 5.1 with any Kali monitors. Convenient settings allow the use of an external crossover, and the WS-12 can even be configured as a dedicated Low Frequency Effects channel. OTHER MONITORS The high power and deep frequency response of the WS-12 make it an excellent choice for any near- or mid-field monitors- not just those made by Kali Audio! With selectable crossovers every 20 Hz between 40 and 140 Hz, it can be easily matched to any system. Because of the 1000W power amp, it is capable of keeping up with very powerful studio monitors without breaking a sweat. The WS-12 can be used for bass management in systems as large as 5.1 with nearfield studio monitors, and the WS-12 can even be configured as a dedicated Low Frequency Effects channel. LIVE SOUND The WS-12 features easy carrying handles and a rugged 18mm wooden enclosure. It is small enough to fit into most small passenger cars, making it an excellent choice for small, mobile PA systems. One WS-12 will be sufficient for use with suitcase-style all-in-one PAs like the Yamaha StagePAS or Fender Passport or linear array all-in-ones like the Bose L1 or LD Systems Maui. Two WS-12s can be used side by side for use with larger systems. With two subwoofers side by side, total system Max SPL is now 129 dB with frequency extension down to 23 Hz.

Review: I don’t know if got a lemon. It was bad until I eventually bought a replacement amp through Kali. - I got this for a great price because I believe it was a closeout but had problems with the unit from the time I got it. I just thought that’s how they worked, until I finally ordered a brand new amp from Kali Audio to replace myself. Now it’s amazing. The problem before was when I turned it on, I had to wait about a minute before I could turn on my tops, otherwise there’s horrible, squealing noise.
Review: Hard to beat the bang for the buck - I was considering Adam's A5X. I am happy I tested the Kali IN-5. I am moving my studio to ATMOS mixing. The guys at Dolby Labs agreed the Kali sound great and are a totally acceptable alternative to the more expensive A5X.

### ⭐⭐⭐ I don’t know if got a lemon. It was bad until I eventually bought a replacement amp through Kali.
*by D***D on 28 January 2026*

I got this for a great price because I believe it was a closeout but had problems with the unit from the time I got it. I just thought that’s how they worked, until I finally ordered a brand new amp from Kali Audio to replace myself. Now it’s amazing. The problem before was when I turned it on, I had to wait about a minute before I could turn on my tops, otherwise there’s horrible, squealing noise.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hard to beat the bang for the buck
*by N***T on 24 October 2021*

I was considering Adam's A5X. I am happy I tested the Kali IN-5. I am moving my studio to ATMOS mixing. The guys at Dolby Labs agreed the Kali sound great and are a totally acceptable alternative to the more expensive A5X.

### ⭐ Great sub until it stopped working
*by S***Z on 2 July 2022*

Sub was working great for a couple of months... until it wasn't. The audio from the sub was cutting in and out for a while when it first showed signs of malfunctioning until it completely stopped making any sound at all. The sub powers on just fine and passes audio thru just fine as well but there's no audio coming from the subwoofer itself. I hope I just got some sort of defective unit and that I'm able to get it repaired or replaced. UPDATE: Although Kali Audio's customer service wasn't the easiest to reach out to and communicate with, they eventually did send out a new unit to me free of cost. Seems like there was a batch of defective units since I saw another review mentioning the exact same issue I had. The new sub they sent works perfectly and hasn't given me any issues so far. It's been about 4-5 months since I got it. Changed 3 star rating to 4 stars since it really is a great product and at a great price, but the inconvenience wasn't exactly pleasant. UPDATE #2: Replacement unit started doing the same thing... cutting in and out momentarily for a second every 20 seconds or so. At this point I just want my money back. Lost my trust in Kali Audio completely.
