Climate Considerations
The IN-8 studio monitor’s enclosure is made of MDF wood and wrapped in vinyl, which is sensitive to heat
and humidity. The product should be kept and used in a climate-controlled environment. Exposure to direct
sunlight, moisture, or consistent humidity above 65% may cause the vinyl to peel and wrinkle. This is not
covered under warranty.
Standby Mode
IN-8s manufactured before March 27, 2020 have a standby mode. On these speakers, the speaker switches
to a low power state after 20 minutes of disuse. The LED on the front of the speaker will turn orange and the
speaker will stop passing audio.
Newer IN-8s and all IN-5s do not have a standby mode. To check the date your speaker was manufactured,
look at the 3rd-9th numbers of the serial number. This is the date of manufacture, in MMDDYY format. For
example, KL230327200327200005 was manufactured on 03/27/20, or March 27, 2020.
If your speaker’s standby mode is behaving incorrectly, please contact info@kaliaudio.com
