Page 4: About Your Studio Monitors
It controls the directivity of the tweeter so that off-axis reflections in all directions are congruent with the direct sound of the loudspeaker, which is part of what gives the SM-5-C such excellent imaging. Peak-to-peak excursion on the midrange does not exceed 1mm, eliminating inter- modulation distortion that is typical in coaxial designs. - Page 5 About Your Speakers Features Low Noise Port Tube Like all of Kali’s studio monitors, the SM-5-C features a front-firing port tube with a unique geometry that elminates chuffing and port compression. Low Diffraction Baffle The baffle around the midrange follows the shape of that driver, blending seamlessly from the edge of the driver and into the rest of the speaker cabinet.

Page 12: Connecting An Amplifier
Connecting an Amplifier The SM-5-C uses Euroblock (sometimes referred to by the brand name “Phoenix®”) connectors for quick connection and disconnection of speaker wire. The recommended LEA® amplifiers and many other professional amplifiers also use Euroblock connectors. You should purchase and size speaker wire for an appropriate distance between the speakers and the amplifier. - Page 13 Screw the terminal clamps down so that the wires are tightly secured. Gently push the entire Eu- roblock plug into the back of the speaker. There is no need to short the single wire connector. Your speaker is ready for use! Kali Audio SM-5-C Users’ Guide...
