IK Multimedia iLoud Micro Monitor Speaker, Black

Product Information

They’d also be perfect for musicians on the move, who need to take small speakers with them, which they know and trust. The black line is what we want as a best case response, the red measurement shows the speaker with desk EQ turned off. I can also see bigger studios using these, even if they have a selection of high end studio monitors. From the calibration EQ to the isolation stands; these are all sensible, practical additions that elevate the iLoud Micros above other speakers in their class.

Best performance between 80-85dB, which is loud enough to enjoy most music, but don't expect to throw a party. You’ll have peak, RMS and dynamic range meters, as well as a spectrogram to detect frequency imbalances while mixing or mastering. Much of the frequency crossover response is powered by internal DSP, which is where IK’s expertise shines through. All of this is done in a form compact enough to take in almost any bag or backpack, yet to a standard that you could your iLoud to record and produce music wherever in the world you are. Its two speakers make for one incredibly small and portable system that delivers exceptional sound in any environment.It’s a shame that the EQ controls are either on or off, with no option to fine tune to get the sound just right. Well a little bit better than the average pair of 20€ PC speakers but you get the point: they don't exactly look like professional studio reference speakers that will impress clients with their looks or physical appearance.

The Vanatoo shares similar output limitations, but does not have the obvious tonal changes of the iLoud's DSP limiter. Also depending on quality of your cable, noise may be introduced due to nature how unbalanced audio works. Is this paid advertising or are these Grammy winning engineers really enthusiastic about the iloud micro‘s?I suspect fair amount of headroom is stolen internally to equalize the speaker and give it good bass. iLoud’s enclosure is totally rigid and resonance-free, allowing the tuned bass reflex design to perform at its best.
