IK Multimedia iLoud MTM Compact Studio Monitor Speaker 2-Way 100W RMS - Black

Product Information

The T-RackS Metering Suite offers you a full range of metering tools to help you get your tracks sounding perfect.

You can choose from a selection of preset frequency curves (see picture above) and the speakers will then raise or lowerparts of the frequency range accordingly. The desk EQ option is effectively an acoustic correction that, if the monitor is desk mounted, ARC should provide, while the LF and HF EQ options are more a matter of personal taste.I was a full time recording engineer and producer for almost a decade in the early aughts and have more experience in front of powered near-field monitors than anything else. As well as bringing the output of the drivers into alignment, it causes a narrowing of vertical dispersion.

That solidity in the bass allied to the level of control is just remarkable for a speaker of this size, too. This minimizes the inaccuracies conventional speakers introduce in the imaging, which is critical for multichannel and immersive setups. Speaking of amplifier power, the iLoud MTM's bass/mid amp is rated at 70 Watts and its tweeter amp at 30 Watts. Load a preset like Small Desk Corner and the low-frequency response will be notched down as shown and the controls around the backof the speakers auto adjust.It makes an ideal choice for those with crowded desks, and those who want to dive deeper into their mix. One of my favorite aspects of a good MTM nearfield is that at comfortable volumes they can present the music as if there was a little 1/12 scale arena on the desk in front of you. Maybe you wondering whether to upgrade from the iLoud MTMs, or looking for your first pair of studio monitors?

Thanks to an advanced and effective shape of MTM's body and their DSP side they are able to really give you a possibility to hear mixes as they are. Press and hold the button and each speaker will immediately calibrate itself to try to provide a response that compensates for the room acoustics. The second, labelled Score, starts with the first one and adds the score as an optimization variable. Their midi devices are nice for the money (keyboards particularly, and doubly so for iPhone and iPad Pro) and their iPad/Phone apps, SampleTank and Hammond Organ, have got to be the best for live shows in that platform And certainly competent for recording. Apart from the cost, the benefit of small monitors, with small woofers, is being able to listen with clarity in smaller rooms.Only with the right studio acoustics can expected sound engineering content be produced that sound ideal in any room.

The Adams need to be turned up a bit to sound good, and the listening experience was always a dance between getting enough volume for them to open up, but not so much volume that the room turns everything to a resonant, muddy mess and my neighbors start banging on the wall. r/audiophile is a subreddit for the pursuit of quality audio reproduction of all forms, budgets, and sizes of speakers. They won't make bad recordings sound good, and they aren't going to give you more than is there in the source.Especially, if you are within the range of 30-60 cm from the monitors, you can perceive sounds very easily and you can edit in the mix. These won't wash over you and envelop you in sound, but they will give you the best seat in the house for a private, miniature concert. There's almost a headphone like quality at play with them this close and the reduced reflections/room resonance. One of the greatest features of the IK Multimedia iLoud MTM monitors is the ability to tailor them to your unique listening space.
