Inputs and Controls

Volume Control

The volume control allows users to adjust the output of the speaker from -∞ to +6 

dB. There is a center detente at the +0 dB setting, and this is where Kali recom

-

mends you leave the volume setting, adjusting the level instead from your device. 

Two notable exceptions to this recommendation are:

 

1. If you are working in an asymmetrical room, it may be necessary to have  

 

   one monitor louder than the other to achieve balance.

 

2. If your playback device does not have an independent volume control, it  

 

    will be necessary to adjust the volume directly from the speaker.

Power Input

Connect the provided power cord to this input. The LP-Series monitors have an 

international switch-mode power supply, so there is no need to set the speaker for 

your local voltage.

On/Off Switch

Power the speaker on and off. Be sure to power the speaker off when connecting 

or disconnecting the power cable, during lightning storms, or during extended 

periods of disuse.
