At NAMM 2023, I stopped by IK Multimedia and got to check out their iLoud Precision 6 monitor speakers. These monitors are designed for professional-grade sound quality in any type of studio. And the stories I got from Alex on songs mixed with these are very eye opening.

Precision monitors range in different sizes and specs. We’ll focus on the Precision 6 for now.

About the iLoud Precision 6 Monitors

The iLoud Precision 6 monitors come in multiple options, to mix everything from mono to 7.1.1 surround. Speakers range in size, but all offer a frequency response of 37 Hz to 30 kHz, with a 30 Hz real-world bass response. The monitors also have a powerful amplifier that delivers up to 150 watts of power, so they can produce loud and clear sound.

Neutrik combo connectors to the back of the speaker, with a separate XLR for ARC tuning.

Now Available in White

At NAMM, IK Multimedia announced they have white casing for the Precision line so you can match your speakers to the room.

iLoud Precision MTM

Add the iLoud MTM mounting system to set up your speakers around the room without stands. Speakers are also able to set on shelves if room space is an issue.

When you tune the room using the ARC system microphone, sitting in the “sweet spot” of a room can give you optimal listening pleasure. This is perfect when you are mixing an album, listening to a new artist, or even watching a blockbuster movie.

Pros and Cons: IK Multimedia iLoud Precision 6 monitors

Pros:

  • Excellent sound quality
  • Powerful amplifier
  • Compact and portable design
  • Cons:

    • Pricey to build your rig
    • ARC may need to be run to keep speakers in tune
    • IK Multimedia has listening stations all over the U.S. which means you can spend some time to listen and learn how to fine-tune your home studio. Of course, NAMM is not the idea place to do that, but what I did hear from the system was pretty impressive. For my 10×12 home studio, I could easily place and tune this monitor system to optimally mix the next great album…

      Prices and availability:

      Prices vary from speaker to speaker. The Precision 6 starts at $999 for a single monitor, with options when bundling (e.g. the iLoud MTM Immersive 11 bundle). Check out the Precision 6 here.
