ik-multimedia-iloud-micro-monitor-5.jpgThe latest addition to IK’s iLoud range of portable monitoring solutions, iLoud Micro Monitor is said to be the “world’s smallest monitoring system”.
IK says that the iLoud Micro Monitor delivers “stunningly clear and accurate audio”. Its two speakers are powered by four class D power amplifiers that push out a combined 50 W RMS of power. Each speaker sports a ¾” silk dome tweeter, a 3″ paper cone performance woofer and a large flaring front-firing bass reflex port.

iLoud Micro Monitor sports an on-board 56-bit digital signal processor (DSP) that can be used to sculpt the frequency response to suit a variety of spaces. This DSP handles the frequency and phase response of the monitor and also manages the dynamic range so that the drivers are always controlled. It also acts as a digital crossover allowing for transitions between the drivers themselves. This DSP can be adjusted to suit different listening environments thanks to three EQ switches: One for treble, one for bass and a “DESKTOP” toggle that lets users optimize iLoud Micro Monitor for use in either a free field or desktop setup. iLoud Micro Monitor can also be physically positioned at two angles of inclination.

Its two speakers are small enough to fit in a gig bag or backpack – which makes it an essential travelling companion for anyone who needs to critically listen while on the go: musicians, producers, engineers, videographers and more.

iLoud Micro Monitor can also be used with a variety of audio input options. It accepts both RCA and 1/8″ wired connections and can also be paired for Bluetooth streaming with all Bluetooth audio streaming-enabled devices.
