Description
The perfect translation
The iLoud Precision series ensures your mixes sound exactly as you intend, faster and easier than ever. You’ll hear every detail of every mix with exceptional clarity and remove the guesswork entirely to work faster, better and with less ear fatigue. Thanks to IK’s exclusive combination of analog design and advanced DSP, you can enjoy world-class sound and performance in any studio setting.
Designed and handmade in Italy
In addition to leveraging IK’s 25+ years of expertise in loudspeaker design and digital signal processing, iLoud Precisions also benefit from a proud tradition of Italian craftsmanship.
What makes a speaker great?
Precise balance for perfect translation
The perfect mix translates every emotion and detail of each song perfectly outside the studio. iLoud Precision offers a stunning ultra-flat frequency response within +/- 1 dB accuracy from 45 Hz to 30 kHz. You’ll instantly zoom in on which instruments and frequencies need attention, to create the perfect balance faster than ever.
Unprecedented low-end detail
With bass extension down to 36 Hz at only -4 dB, iLoud Precision delivers deep, powerful yet always balanced bass. With ARC enabled, in many rooms iLoud Precision can reach as low as 30 Hz, for full-range monitoring in every genre. And an adjustable bass roll-off lets Precisions integrate with a sub without the need of an external crossover to degrade sonic performance.
Linear phase sound reveals every detail
Beyond balance and range, a perfect monitor needs to recreate every detail of the original recording. iLoud Precision leverages advanced 96 kHz internal DSP, digital crossovers and custom-designed audiophile amplifiers to deliver true linear phase response above 150 Hz. The result is stunningly precise stereo imaging and transients, and true-to-life clarity so you can have full faith in your every sonic decision.
Preventing ear fatigue
Reaching nearly the theoretical ideal performance of time coherence, or the precise time alignment between all frequencies, iLoud Precision offers incredibly transient response without sacrificing frequency balance. This eliminates the ear fatigue that can develop over longer listening sessions, as well as improves the “readability” of the program and therefore translation.
Hear your music, not your room.
Any monitor is only as good as the room it’s in. To avoid room acoustics coloring your mixing decisions, each iLoud Precision offers built-in acoustic self-calibration based on the acclaimed ARC™ System technology. Just connect the included MEMS measurement microphone and in a few seconds, the iLoud Precisions will tune themselves to any environment, taking your room out of the mix for good.
Powerful software control
Easy to set up and recall settings
iLoud Precision series introduces X-MONITOR, a newly developed advanced control application that assists ARC calibration, enables extended acoustic and voicing control to fine-tune iLoud Precision to your taste, plus convenient remote access to the Precision’s back panel controls. The software is plug-n-play via a simple USB connection with no special setup needed.
A/B/C/D… your mixes
X-MONITOR also allows iLoud Precision to emulate the frequency and phase response of many iconic studio monitors, as well as popular hi-fi speakers and mobile devices, with breathtakingly true-to-life results. With over 20 profiles included, a single pair of iLoud Precisions with X-MONITOR lets you test your mix on different reference systems quickly, without ever having to head to your car!
