Designed for the studio or light-duty stage applications, the Kali Audio WS-12 is an active 12" subwoofer, well suited for recording studios, broadcast environments, film mixing, and small stage setups. The WS-12 utilizes a 1000W Class-D amplifier to power the woofer, which is capable of a frequency response of 30 to 160 Hz at ±3 dB (23 Hz at -10 dB) and a maximum SPL of 123 dB.
The WS-12 excels at reproducing film soundtracks, as well as bass heavy music like EDM and hip-hop. The front-firing port tube is designed to ensure that all the air leaves the port tube at the same velocity, preventing turbulent chuffing while creating a tight, clean bass tone that is devoid of noise.
The rear panel offers several DIP switches for setting crossover settings, gain controls, and polarity. Two combo XLR-1/4" inputs and two XLR outputs allow for flexibility when deploying in the studio or onstage. Additionally, there are a pair of RCA inputs, which are defeatable via dip-switch settings. A universal power supply allows the WS-12 to be used anywhere in the world with the flip of a switch. The Kali Audio WS-12 ships with a power cord.
The WS-12 unveils every detail of your mix’s low end, all the way down to 23Hz at -10dB. This powered subwoofer tackles bass-heavy genres like EDM and hip-hop like a champ, and flawlessly reproduces the super-low-frequency content inherent in film soundtracks. Packing 1,000 watts, the WS-12 delivers impressive output — enough for a 5.1 array of LP-8 studio monitors. It’s even loud enough for light PA use! We appreciate the WS-12’s built-in limiter circuit, which protects the sub from unsafe voltage levels.
The Kali Audio WS-12 is the perfect size. It fits easily under your desk — even in a small studio. What’s more, its mega-durable 18mm plywood enclosure and sturdy side handles make it roadworthy enough for live use. It’s also small enough to fit in most small passenger cars, so transportating it is child’s play.
One of the WS-12’s most novel features is its low-noise port tube. Many port tubes emit turbulence, as air leaves the tube at different speeds from different points of the opening. This turbulence produces chuffing — a noisy sound that obscures the low-end details of your mix. The WS-12’s port tube, on the other hand, ensures that all of the air exits at the same velocity. The end result is clean, punchy bass with zero added noise.
