IK Multimedia elevates the boundaries of contemporary monitoring with an overhauled hardware and improved room correction in the iLoud Precision MKII professional-grade studio monitors.
In the realm of professional studio monitors, IK Multimedia has made a significant entrance with the launch of their iLoud Precision monitors in 2022. These monitors, available in three models - the iLoud Precision 5 MKII, iLoud Precision 6 MKII, and the iLoud Precision MTM MKII - have been well-received, with one review describing them as "some of the best speakers we have ever auditioned", offering excellent value and "a hell of a lot of speaker and specs for the cash".
IK Multimedia has now unveiled the second generation of these iLoud Precision monitors, featuring redesigned hardware and new mounting options. The monitors boast a frequency response within +/- 1dB accuracy from 45Hz to 30kHz, extending down to 37Hz at -4dB. The redesigned 1.5" tweeter benefits from ultra-lightweight construction and graphene reinforcement for improved transparency and reduced distortion.
To further enhance the listening experience, IK Multimedia has introduced ARC X, a new room correction software for iLoud Precision monitors. This software introduces three-dimensional room correction based on measurements taken at three different heights. ARC X allows for manual customization of speaker response and can emulate the frequency and phase response of 20 well-known speaker systems.
The ARC X software comes as a free upgrade for registered owners of iLoud Precision, iLoud Micro Monitor Pro, iLoud MTM MKII, ARC Studio, and ARC 4 software. For those purchasing the new iLoud Precision monitors, ARC X is available at an introductory price of €99.99/$99.99 (regular price €199.99/$199.99).
To complement the monitors, IK Multimedia has also launched the iLoud Precision Isolation Pods, priced at €49.99/$49.99 (4-pack, suitable for one monitor). New built-in fixing mounts and dedicated metal brackets (sold separately) have been added to the monitors to make it easier to mount and adjust their positioning. The iLoud Precision Mounting Brackets are available for €99.99/$99.99 (5 and 6 inches), €129.99/$129.99 (MTM).
For those seeking even more control over their listening environment, the iLoud Precision Remote Control is available for €99.99/$99.99.
IK Multimedia's ARC system analyzes the acoustic profile of the room or studio using a measurement microphone, identifies problematic frequencies, and adjusts their output accordingly for a neutral and reliable frequency response. However, no artists or groups have been announced that IK Multimedia's ARC X updated room correction and calibration system will emulate in terms of frequency and phase response.
