1. IK Multimedia iLoud Micro Monitor
You're probably wondering what you can expect from this little sound miracle when it just fits in the palm of your hand. Well, wait and see, because this littlemonitor speaker will definitely amaze you.
These small sound-rich mini monitors have a frequency range from 45 Hz to a respectful 20,000 Hz. Of course, compared to other, larger monitors, this is not an extremely high performance, but remember that the sound is produced by a 0.75 inch tweeter and a 3 inch woofer and that is completely linear.
The special bi-amped amplifier delivers 50 watts of power and has a peak power of 70 watts. This wattage, with all connections, can be found in/on the left speaker, which you connect to the right monitor with a specially supplied cable. So you have an active, like passive monitor. IK Multimedia has added a special Bluetooth module to the iLoud. This connection allows you to wirelessly send your audio from your laptop, Macbook, tablet or smartphone to the iLoud.
So you can enjoy excellent sound even when you're on the move, without having to take cables, interfaces or other equipment with you, so you can continue to work on your mix or production.
