  • IK Multimedia gives its iLoud Precision monitor line a MKII upgradeIK Multimedia has unveiled the second generation of its iLoud Precision monitor range. The upgraded iLoud Precision MKII studio monitors have modified the hardware for a richer performance, as well as being compatible with IK’s improved acoustic correction software, ARC X, for greater sonic transparency.
    Much like the original iLoud Precision line, the MKII also comes in three distinct models. The iLoud Precision 5 MKII is comprised of a 5″ Woofer, boasting 135W RMS, while the slightly larger iLoud Precision 6 MKII is fitted with a 6.5″ Woofer working at 150W RMS.
    There’s also the option to get a pair of 5″ Woofers working at 175W RMS if you get the Loud Precision MTM MKII.

    All three models are also kitted out with a 1.5″ tweeter, which has been upgraded since the previous run of iLoud Prevision monitors. According to IK, the tweeter’s new construction is ultra-lightweight and reinforced with graphene to reduce distortion and ensure even more sonic accuracy.
    In terms of frequency, the monitors’ response rate lies within ±1 dB accuracy from 45Hz to 30kHz, while it also extends down to 37Hz at -4dB. It’s a range that should offer a “full-spectrum of clarity”, especially when dealing with low-ends.
    New fixing mounts are also built-in to the monitors, allowing you to integrate them into your studio with ease. There’s also the option to buy separate metal brackets to mount your speakers precisely, setting your desired angles for optimal listening experience.
    While the iLoud Precision line has its own auto-calibration, the monitors are able to capture a heightened level of clarity thanks to IK’s ARC X acoustic correction technology. Building on the success of ARC 4, ARC X allows users to generate 3D model of their studio, analysing the space from three unique perspectives and using the information to correct any potential acoustic issues. It’s technology that IK brand as “remarkably natural”.
    While ARC X isn’t a free software, owners of ARC X the iLoud Precision, iLoud Micro Monitor Pro, iLoud MTM MKII, ARC Studio, and ARC 4 are entitled to a free upgrade.
    In terms of pricing, the iLoud Precision 5 MKII will set you back $799.99. The slightly larger iLoud Precision 6 MKII costs $899.99, while the pair of iLoud Precision MTM MKII monitors costs $999.99. There’s also the option of getting yourself a dedicated iLoud Precision Remote Control for $99.99.
