When deciding between the three monitors, size, cost and SPL capabilities are not the only factors to consider. Keep in mind all three Precision monitors are 2-way designs, so incorporating a sub will require careful, measured calibration to achieve the same level of time coherence described above. IK claims the cohesive time alignment of the Precision series contributes to a detailed transient response, reduced ear fatigue and improved mix translation. This ensures that all frequencies arrive at your ears simultaneously, which is one of the main appeals of high-end 3-way monitors. The Precision series also achieves impressive time coherence across the spectrum, nearly reaching peak theoretical performance. Thanks to its integrated 96 kHz DSP system, digital crossover and custom class-D power amplifiers. IK claims to achieve a true linear phase response above 150 Hz,

The monitors also ship with isolation pods (little hockey pucks), which decouple the monitors from your desk.Īll three models essentially yield the same frequency response, which boasts +/-1dB across 45 Hz–30 kHz, with its complete response reaching down to 36 Hz at -4dB. All three monitors feature extensive onboard DSP, built-in ARC room calibration (measurement mic included), and X-MONITOR software for control of additional voicings. The nearfield-focused Precision series is designed to offer a precise ultra-flat response in a compact footprint. For reference, the Micro and standard MTM models feature 3″ and 3.5″ drivers, respectively. Precision Overviewĭeveloped and handmade in Italy, the iLoud Precision series comes in three sizes: 5″, 6.5″, and MTM (midrange-tweeter-midrange), which features two 5″ midrange drivers. I reviewed the iLoud MTM monitors in our September 2019 issue, and they haven’t left the meter bridge in the A Room at Coupe Studios (Boulder, CO) ever since! It’s no surprise that IK Multimedia has decided to expand the lineup, taking everything that made the Micro and MTM so popular and amping (pun intended) them up to the next level. I K Multimedia took the budget monitor market by storm with the ‘physics defying’ iLoud Micro and MTM monitors. Three compact, next-level nearfield options join this popular monitor family
