IK Multimedia iLoud MTM Reference Monitor, Single

Full Description

Reference-class response

The primary goal of any studio monitor is to deliver accurate sound for important mixing decisions. Using advanced DSP techniques, the iLoud MTM can be trusted to deliver audio that will successfully translate to other playback systems. The bi-amplified design provides you with 100W of power, delivered by the premium-grade Class-D amplifiers. The result is a flat frequency response allowing you to mix with exceptional accuracy.

Extended low-end packing a punch

The iLoud MTM monitor is a 3.5-inch active studio monitor comprised of 2 x 3.5-inch high-performance woofers, with a 1-inch back-chamber loaded tweeter. Don’t be deceived by the size, however. The extended low range of 40Hz, ideal for modern music mixing, rivals much larger monitors.

The defined low end is benefitted by IK’s new PRL system. This corrects the system's performance in real-time, modelled on the enclosure's design. This results in a balanced low end that astonishes from a monitor so small.

A powerful monitor, whatever the surroundings

The MTM monitor will instantly adjust to any room environment, with built-in acoustic self-calibration thanks to the included reference microphone. Whether recording in the spare bedroom or your acoustically treated mixing room, you will hear your mix as intended. As well as this, further manual trim and extension controls are located on the back of the iLoud MTM.

A feature not always found with monitor speakers, the iLoud MTM can be tilted for perfect placement. In smaller studios where space is at a premium, this feature helps you find the ideal listening placement. This is helped further by the small size of the iLoud MTM, which can find a home in the smallest of spaces.

A monitor built for superior imaging and accuracy

The iLoud MTM uses a mid-range-tweeter-midrange configuration, with a back-chamber loaded tweeter, which provides an ultra-precise point source. This means a natural sound, creating the best possible environment for you to mix. By having this design, frequencies are arriving at your ear more accurately, which helps prevent ear fatigue allowing you to mix for longer.

Reviews

"Though compact and affordable, IK's newest monitors manage to cram in a remarkable amount of tech - and the results speak for themselves. In contrast to some of the distressingly heavy monitors that have recently passed through my studio room, the iLoud MTMs are refreshingly light at just 2.5kg each. So how do the sum of the iLoud MTM parts add up? As it happens, they add up extremely well- especially given the genuinely entry-level price." - Sound on Sound

“Even before they were burned in, I was impressed by the enveloping character of the sound that filled the room. After the burn-in, the imaging far exceeded my expectations and the low end was full but not overbearing. The imaging is top notch for its class, and they definitely perform well above their price point.” – Recording Magazine
