The iLoud Precision MTM

The iLoud Precision MTM is a handmade nearfield monitor from the Italian manufacturer IK Multimedia. Like all 3 models of the iLoud Precision series, it is equipped with an advanced DSP control, and can be calibrated to the respective room via the supplied measuring microphone. Equipped is the 2-way system (yes, despite the 3 speakers) with a 2 times 5" ultra-lightweight paper woofer and a 1.5″ tweeter with chambered fabric dome. There is also a bass reflex port, for extended low bass response, on the rear panel.

How does the iLoud Precision MTM sound?

The Precision MTM offers an extremely linear frequency response from 45 Hz to 30 kHz (+/- 1 dB). In addition, the arrangement of the two mid-bass drivers in combination with the tweeter in the centre simulates a point source. Thus, the individual speakers operate as if they were one large connected speaker, without the sonic problems that a speaker of this size would cause. This ensures absolutely true-to-life reproduction of any audio material. In addition, during its development, meticulous attention was paid to ensuring that the audio material from all three speakers arrives at the listener's ear simultaneously and in an absolutely linear phase. This results in absolutely precise transients, which in turn contributes to a finely resolved stereo image and a good breakdown of spatial depth. In addition, hearing fatigue is prevented - a boon during long recording, mixing or mastering sessions. 

Built-in room correction

The iLoud Precision MTM features a fully automatic room calibration system based on IK Multimedia's proven ARC System technology. After connecting the included microphone, the monitor can be calibrated to the room using either controls on the back panel or the X-MONITOR software.

X-MONITOR Software

The included X-MONITOR software allows user-defined sound adjustments and can be used for room calibration of the speakers. On the user interface, the original and corrected frequency curves can be viewed and switched back and forth in A/B comparison. In addition, the software allows emulation of frequency response and impulse behaviour of popular studio monitors, as well as typical consumer devices such as hi-fi systems, laptop speakers or cell phone speakers. A practical option to check the compatibility of your mix with other monitoring systems.
