IK Multimedia MON-PRECISION-650-IN - iLoud Precision 6 (unit)

IK Multimedia iLoud Precision 6 (unit) - 6.5″ 2-way monitor with 96 kHz DSP, built-in ARC and X-MONITOR control

The iLoud Precision 6 is an Italian-designed and engineered reference nearfield monitor that combines high-precision electroacoustics with internal digital processing at 96 kHz . Its 2-way architecture employs a 6.5″ ultra-light coated paper woofer and a 1.5″ chambered textile tweeter , bi-amplified with 150 W RMS and driven by a linear phase crossover . It offers an ultra-flat response from 45 Hz to 30 kHz (±1 dB) with bass extension down to 37 Hz (−4 dB) and time coherence (phase 0/+20° from 150 Hz). It includes ARC auto-calibration with included microphone and X-MONITOR software for guided calibration, voicing selection and monitor emulation, all accessible via USB-B . The rear panel features positioning filters ( LF/HF , Desk , HPF ) and a clear workflow with LED status indicators.

Main features

• Transducers: 6.5″ ultra-light coated paper woofer and 1.5″ textile tweeter in low distortion chamber.
• Power & DSP: 150W RMS total with Class-D amplification and full digital control at 96kHz ; linear crossover (8th order) at 1.9kHz .
• Response and phase: 45 Hz – 30 kHz (±1 dB) ; LF at 37 Hz (−4 dB) ; phase 0/+20° from 150 Hz; phase rotation at 100 Hz ≤ 45° (HPF off).
• Levels and directivity: Long-term continuous SPL 100 dB(A) (1 m, free field); peak 106 dB(A) (free) / 108 dB(A) (half-space); max. peak per pair (music) 116 dB(A) (1 m). Vertical dispersion ± 50° (Wide mode: +65°/−50°).
• Integrated ARC + X-MONITOR: ARC microphone included; quick calibration from the speaker or advanced (4 positions) via X-MONITOR via USB, with voicings and monitor emulation.
• Placement controls: HPF (off/35/50/65/80 Hz), LF (−10 to +6 dB @100 Hz), Desk (−10 to 0 dB), Mid (−4 to +4 dB), HF (−6 to +6 dB @10 kHz) and input trim ±5 dB.
• Connectivity per unit: Balanced XLR/¼″ TRS combo input; Female XLR for ARC microphone; USB-B for control/update; Control I/O (3.5 mm minijack) for wired remote control (optional); Power supply 90–240 V~ .
• Form factor: Low-resonance MDF enclosure with damped baffle; 353 × 201 × 282 mm in size and 7.7 kg per unit; includes isolation pods .

Product benefits

• Reliable translation thanks to ±1 dB linearity, temporal coherence and ARC correction that minimizes room influence.
• Precise desktop setup : HPF , Desk , LF/Mid/HF filters and controlled vertical directivity to reduce table and ceiling reflections.
• Modern Workflow : X-MONITOR allows A/B with voicings and emulations, saving profiles and switching between them (optional wired remote).
• Professional construction : High-damped enclosure and low-noise electronics for long sessions without fatigue.

Use cases

• Nearfield mixing and mastering with ultra-flat response and controlled phase.
• Immersive/multi-channel audio combining multiple units with individual calibration and consistent profiles.
• Small-room editing and post-production with desktop control and integrated room correction.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it include an ARC microphone? Yes, it comes with an ARC microphone , clip, and USB cable.
Can calibration be multi-point? Yes, with X-MONITOR, measurements are taken at four positions around the listening point.
Can you quickly switch profiles? In addition to the software, there's an optional wired remote control that connects to the Control I/O ports to change voicings or activate ARC.
