Released in September, iLoud Micro Monitor Pro is a feature-rich, professional version of the extremely popular iLoud Micro Monitor that's already winning awards for its studio-quality sound in an ultra-compact format.

MusicTech published its rundown of the best studio gear released in 2024, and Micro Monitor Pro is their pick for studio monitor of the year. Here's why:

IK Multimedia's updated iLoud Micro Monitors don't just sound good for compact monitors, they sound good full stop. As Starsky Carr puts it in his review of the Monitor Pro: "Compared to my Dynaudio LYD-7 monitors, my first reaction was simply 'Wow!'"

What makes the new iLouds particularly special, and is key to their accurate audio reproduction, is that they incorporate IK's ARC room correction technology directly within the monitors themselves.

This is particularly advantageous if your rig incorporates several different mix sources because it makes it easy to apply the same correction no matter what you're feeding to the monitors.

Ultra-compact, the Micro Monitor Pro offers even the most demanding mix engineers and audiophiles the features they need to work or enjoy music anywhere without sacrifice.
