"The DSP found on the iLoud Micro Monitor definitely helps contribute to this full sound, as we doubt normal desktop speakers of this size would be able to replicate that level of clarity."
Reviewing iLoud Micro Monitor, What Mobile's Deputy Editor Thomas Wellburn found very little else on the market to compete with their compact size and power offered.
Here are some of his key comments:
"Where these differ is in the sound, as IK Multimedia has designed them for critical listening."
"Setting them up the desk, they take up very little space and are easy to move around. A flip out stand on the bottom allows for elevated positioning and also doubles as a bass isolator."
"Thanks to the amount of customization on offer courtesy of the back panel, there’s plenty of opportunity for sculpting things according to your acoustic environment."
"We’d definitely describe the sound as natural and flat, with very little colouration."
"The highs are smooth and controlled, while the bass gives just enough detail to let you edit things like speech and video production work."
"The DSP found on the iLoud Micro Monitor definitely helps contribute to this full sound, as we doubt normal desktop speakers of this size would be able to replicate that level of clarity."
Thomas's verdict is:
"You definitely get what you pay for. If you need a small pair of studio monitors which are both portable and produce a nice flat sound, these are well worth consideration."
Pros:
+ Small and portable
+ Big sound for the size
+ Flat frequency with lots of adjustment
