IK Multimedia iLoud Micro Monitor – Ultra-compact reference monitor pair with Bluetooth and DSP
The iLoud Micro Monitor from IK Multimedia are a pair of 2-way bi-amplified studio monitors designed for producing, editing and mixing in small spaces without sacrificing linear response. Each speaker integrates a 3/4" silk dome tweeter (neodymium magnet) and a 3" high-rigidity composite woofer , powered by 4 Class D amplifiers (50 W RMS system, 70 W peak) and managed by DSP with active crossover at 3 kHz , shelving equalization and desktop compensation. They offer a maximum SPL of 107 dB (at 50 cm, pair), usable response from 55 Hz – 20 kHz (±3 dB) and extension down to 45 Hz – 22 kHz (−10 dB) , with a front-facing bass-reflex port for firm bass even close to walls.
They connect via stereo RCA or 3.5 mm mini jack and allow you to listen to references via Bluetooth (A2DP) . On the rear panel of the main speaker you have High Shelf (0/+2 dB > 4 kHz), Low Shelf (0/−3 dB < 250 Hz) and Desktop (+3.5 dB between 1–10 kHz / −1 dB < 400 Hz) switches to adapt the response to the desktop. Its format is really compact ( 180 × 135 × 90 mm per unit) and lightweight (left 920 g , right 800 g ), with folding legs and UNC 3/8"-16 bottom thread for mounting on microphone stands.
