The Kali Audio WS-6.2 is a studio subwoofer with two 6.5-Inch horizontally opposed woofers. Taking up less than half the space of comparably performing subwoofers, it is ideal for stereo mix setups where space is at a premium.
 
The WS-6.2 is tailor made to be a companion sub to Kali’s LP-Series and IN-Series monitors, but it will also integrate well with just about any pair of studio monitors.
 
Small, but Big
The WS-6.2 is only slightly larger than an 8-inch studio monitor, making it the perfect choice to sit under your desk, or in other tight spaces. The horizontally opposed woofers in the WS-6.2 present as much radiating area as a 10-Inch woofer, but in a much smaller package.

As an added benefit, the configuration of the woofers cancels out net vibration, so the sub won’t scoot, buzz, or rattle, even at high SPLs.

With 120 dB max SPL, the WS-6.2 will be more than sufficient for most stereo setups, and will work well in small multichannel setups as well. If more SPL is needed, a second WS-6.2 can be added without taking up very much space. You can also look at using our larger WS-12 subwoofer.
 
I/O and Control
The WS-6.2 features balanced inputs for either XLR or TRS cables, as well as unbalanced RCA inputs.

You can use the 80 Hz crossover if you’re using the sub to extend the low end response of your monitors, use LFE mode to feed the sub a dedicated LFE channel, or turn off the crossover and use an external crossover for greater customization. The 80 Hz crossover is meant for use with Kali’s studio monitors, but it will work well with monitors from most popular manufacturers.

When using the 80 Hz crossover, high-passed signal will be sent out via the XLR outputs. The WS-6.2 has a footswitch jack that will let you turn the subwoofer off, and the XLR outputs will send full range signal to your studio monitors. Footswitches are sold separately, and are available at most music retailers. Contact Kali Audio customer service if you need advice in purchasing a footswitch.
 
Port Tube
Like Kali Audio’s full range monitors, the WS-6.2 includes a front-firing port tube that prevents noise and compression.

On most port tubes, air leaves at different speeds from different points of the opening, creating noisy turbulence. This turbulence can be heard as “chuffing,” or an audible air sound coming from the monitor. This sound will add to the noise floor and obscure the details of the low end.

The port tube on WS-6.2was designed to ensure that all of the air leaves the port tube at the same velocity. This helps add to the low end response of the speaker, while keeping the bass clean, tight, and devoid of extra noise.
