About this deal

Fun part of the sales pitch is a lower crossover point is usually desirable because you can get a wider dispersion out of a dome tweeter than you can a cone woofer. This shelf-style EQ can be used to compensate for working in an environment with bass control problems. The cable connection options on the iLoud monitors are where it becomes a bit confusing as to whether these are meant to be computer speakers or studio monitors. iLoud states with calibration that bass increases, 40Hz goes from F6 to F3, the latter seemingly the graph above.

What if there was a reference monitor that could free you from the confines of the studio walls and provide you the truth in your music no matter where you are - mixing in a small makeshift recording space, mastering in a hotel room, working in your own studio, or composing on the go? Preamp gains not to be ignored, clipping may be an issue so the EQ might diminish even further the dynamic range of the speaker. It's heavy, bulky, and there is no way they needed anything more than 22 awg wire for the amount of power getting sent over this very short length.A test of blasting music shows that I picked up a predictable 3dB from red light/port chuffing levels. The compromises are more than worth it for me as they allow me to create music without wearing headphones again for the first time in years. Years of pro-audio experience and innovative engineering solutions have contributed to our ability to produce a speaker this powerful in such a small enclosure. The Vanatoo shares similar output limitations, but does not have the obvious tonal changes of the iLoud's DSP limiter.

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. All the controls, including the volume are positioned at the back, which gives the front a clean look. They also include reflections with 1/6 smoothing to show the tonal differences between EQ options more clearly. If played loudly on sections of music where there is deep bass and not a lot else going on there will be audible chuffing, but it's not really that bad.Walls and ceilings reflect sound, and the only way to eliminate reverberations is to mount panels designed for acoustic purposes. and I was looking for an all rounder speaker with bass emphasis and these delivered the job perfectly. The tweaks above 10kHz helped clear up some issues with the treble that appear off axis and can sound harsh with cymbal heavy music.

This model features two smaller active speakers, each with a 3″ woofer and a ¾” tweeter, a front bass port and calibration EQ. Overall, I would recommend these for everyone who have an limited desk space, but still require quality monitoring solution or just for audiophiles as general purpose PC speakers.And IK Multimedia's with over 16 years of pro-audio engineering expertise — plus our position as the leading developer of mobile music-creation apps and accessories — we know what we’re doing. This is a robotic measurement system that analyzes the speaker all around and is able (using advanced mathematics and dual scan) to subtract room reflections (so where I measure it doesn't matter). Includes power supply unit, power cord, four-pin speaker connection cable (2 m) and mini jack to 2x RCA connection cable (1. Andertons Music Company is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority, firm registration number 716155. The larger of the two, the IK Multimedia iLoud MTM, is a mid-range, close-range monitor that focuses on accurate sound reproduction and neutral tones.

Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item. It was not easy to position them well, as the cable between the two speakers is very rigid and heavy, so much so that it moves the angle of the speakers with its weight. Such a great product, if your looking for a true flat response portable monitors then look no further.It would be nice if they were housed in wooden cabinets, with metal grilles, to match the sophisticated sound. The real problem tonally that could be fixed with EQ is the boundary gain, where the woofer and it's reflection start acting like one source.
