A member of Kali’s flagship Santa Monica series, the SM-5-C is unlike any other Kali studio monitor yet. This studio monitor is their first passive design and features 3-way, bi-amped architecture. It comes equipped with a 5-inch woofer and low-noise, front-facing port for deeper low-end extension. Meanwhile, a coaxial 4-inch midrange driver houses a 1-inch aluminum tweeter. Together, the midrange and tweeter deliver a crisp, clear sound with astounding imaging. There are also built-in mounting holes, enabling flexible placement in any studio — including as an overhead in an immersive audio system. However you deploy this speaker, you can trust the SM-5-C to produce a complete and accurate representation of any source material.

Custom-designed drivers reveal every detail of your mix
For the SM-5-C, Kali Audio pulled out all the stops. The speaker comes loaded with three drivers: a 5-inch woofer, a 4-inch midrange, and a 1” coaxial tweeter. The flux stabilized woofer delivers deep, powerful, and distortion-free bass. From there, the 4-inch midrange and coaxial titanium tweeter deliver lifelike imaging, thanks to the midrange driver’s optimized waveguide profile. Each driver is engineered to handle high SPLs with ease without sacrificing their smooth response and vanishingly low distortion. The three drivers, together with the low-noise port tube, deliver immaculate stereo imaging with a smooth response. Whether you’re using them in a stereo setup or as part of an immersive audio setup, the Kali Audio SM-5-C will impress you with its clear and crisp sound.

Thoughtful touches elevate the design
Digging deeper into the SM-5-C’s design reveals several features that enhance sound quality. First, the low diffraction baffle eliminates on-axis diffraction, which results in spectacular stereo imaging. The 3-way coincident architecture features optimized crossovers for less distortion and optimal directivity. While the crossover network is optimized for bi-wire use, it performs admirably in single-wire setups. As if that’s not enough, Kali also offers tuning files for LEA Connect series amplifiers to optimize the amp’s response to fit your system.

Mounts wherever you need it
Aside from mounting it on a speaker stand the SM-5-C comes with mounting holes. The mounting holes are located on both the bottom and top of the monitor and are laid out in a 4.25- x 2-inch bolt pattern. Its lightweight chassis and baked-in mounting possibilities make the SM-5-C the perfect choice for immersive sound setups. Kali Audio recommends mounting the SM-5-C studio monitor with a U-bracket from Triad-Orbit.

Buy it
If you're looking for a comfortable thick and nice turtle neck this is the one. It's nice and form fitting nice weight to it to keep you warm. But not to thick that you cant just wear it on a regular sunny day if you wanted. The design pattern Is also very nice. Can dress it up or down. I bought the black and then immediately bought the rust orange color for my friend once he tried on mine he wanted one immediately so I gifted him one. He loves it. Definitely worth the buy. Excellent quality. I bought a Large 5"11 165lbs

A true turtleneck that retains a snug high neck.
Color: White, Size: X-Large
I've found this brand to have gotten better over the years as far as offering the American market what it needs in terms of realistic sizing. I only wish they'd realize that there are a lot of us who are long in the back and arms where my only choice is to go a size up and sacrifice a slim fit for sleeves that are long enough plus a back that doesn't go up past my waist just because I reach up for something, that and I like to be warm. So these are such nice quality turtlenecks that it's hard to complain about but maybe the company will read this. The snug neck stays up is plus number one since that's why I'm buying a full neck. They come with very nice weaves in the fabric, good enough for casual or formal wear. Finally the warmth you seek is there but I've worn them in what most would think isn't the right temp for a turtleneck. Also they have them in white! Yes, a lot of others just don't for reasons I can't fathom, and the pic you're seeing is accurate, these will form to your shape without being ridiculously thin material. Several washes later and they are as fine a garment as when I first wore them. I've only found one other brand that compares to these but it's much more expensive, COOFANDY is affordable in these times of expensive everything. Warm but also a lightweight shirt, I've gotten them really dirty with actual dirt and it washes out so well you'd never know it. Don't let my taking off one star stop you, try one yourself and you'll be coming back for more.
