IK Multimedia iLoud Micro Monitor Pro (Pair)

About: IK Multimedia iLoud Micro Monitor Pro (Pair)

iLoud Micro Monitor Pro makes critical mixing possible in the studio, at home or on the go. The evolution of the ubiquitous iLoud Micro Monitor is designed to provide reference presentation, transparency and impressive accuracy that can be placed anywhere or carried with you.

With the same ARC room calibration and control software as iLoud MTM MKII and flagship Precision models, Micro Monitor Pro allows you to experience uncolored, quality audio monitoring in any space, from acoustically treated rooms to spaces definitely not designed for audio work.

• Ultra-compact format for tight spaces and travel
• 109 dB maximum peak SPL at 1 meter for clear, powerful sound
• Flat and transparent frequency response for critical listening
• iLoud physics-defying bass down to 50 Hz
• Advanced DSP for perfect transient response and linear phase
• Built-in ARC self-calibration adjusts to any space
• Controllable with X-MONITOR software for custom tuning
• Ideal as a secondary reference in large studios
• Tilting feet plus threaded insert for precise positioning

Smallest footprint, fits anywhere

Ultra-compact, the Micro Monitor Pro offers even the most demanding mix engineers and audiophiles the features they need to work or enjoy music anywhere without sacrifice. Beyond incredible sound, its retractable rubber feet and 3/8" threaded insert allow Micro Monitor Pro to adapt to any size setup. Angle them on your desktop, mount them on mic stands, or use the optional iLoud wall/ceiling mounts to fit your space and needs precisely.

Portable and powerful

Micro Monitor Pro is palm-sized and weighs just 3 pounds. It packs a 50 W RMS class D high-efficiency amplifier and high-quality custom-made drivers. With a full-band maximum SPL of over 95 dB per speaker, it easily outperforms monitors twice its size. The exclusive 3″ high-performance long-throw woofer and the 1″ silk dome tweeter are engineered and manufactured under strict tolerances to make all units sound identical for precise and solid imaging.

The latest tech inside

Advanced DSP handles all Micro Monitor Pro’s core audio functions using audiophile-grade high-resolution algorithms for cross-over, filtering, time alignment, equalization, dynamic control and auto-calibration. A/D conversion is at today's highest standards, maintaining a pristine and pure signal from the analog input to your ears. The results are a listening experience unmatched by any other speaker in its weight class.

Studio quality anywhere

You'll enjoy transparent, true-to-life sound without hype or coloration from Micro Monitor Pro’s ultra-flat frequency range of 50 Hz to 20 kHz ± 2 dB (42 Hz to 22 kHz @ -10 dB). Bass frequencies are solid and firm with no booms or tails. Highs are transparent, defined and neutral. You’ll hear the audio precisely for what it is with less ear fatigue, even during long listening sessions. Linear phase and accurate transient response allow for quickly making the right mix decisions.

Built-in ARC correction

Compact studio monitors are used everywhere, from quality control rooms to mobile setups, but each space is different. iLoud Micro Monitor Pro features built-in ARC room correction to automatically balance its frequency response in any room or placement. With the ARC MEMS calibration microphone, you can calibrate each monitor in just 2 minutes, significantly improving the reliability of the monitoring setup and translation of your work. You can easily switch between the standard settings and the ARC calibration to hear the difference.

X-MONITOR integration

Inherited from IK's flagship iLoud Precisions, iLoud Micro Monitor Pro offers full X-MONITOR integration. This exclusive, award-winning software gives you complete control over every speaker element beyond the rear controls for precise, custom tuning of the monitor response.

A single solution to A/B mixes

In addition, X-MONITOR allows you to switch between virtual monitoring voices, emulating the frequency and phase response of other popular studio monitors and reference systems. With four buttons to quickly recall various voices and settings, X-MONITOR with Micro Monitor Pro becomes an entire reference monitoring system in one portable solution.

The ideal immersive audio solution

With its ultra-compact size, super lightweight design, and pro-quality performance, the Micro Monitor Pro is an immersive monitor setup that offers superior sound for this price and form factor. Ideal for mixing and mastering rooms that are space-confined or home studios that want to experience spatial audio in their own space, the iLoud Micro Monitor Pro Immersive Bundle 11 brings immersive ability to anyone without breaking the bank.
