IK Multimedia’s iLoud MTM MKII reference monitors sport more efficient drivers and twice the processing power under the hood to turn any space into an ideal mixing and master- ing setup. The monitors offer clear, neutral sound with the deep, controlled low end users would expect from a speaker twice the size and linear phase response that rivals speak- ers twice the price. Its MTM design and precise time alignment make hours of fatigue-free listening possible while minimizing acoustic interactions, which is ideal for desktop use. {ikmultimedia.com}
