Best-in-class frequency response
iLoud Precision offers best-in-class frequency response with an extended frequency range of 36 Hz - 30 kHz. Stunning ultra-neutral response with +/- 1 dB accuracy from 45 Hz to 30 kHz for accurate and uncolored sound throughout the listening range.

True linear phase response for unmatched intelligibility and presentation
iLoud Precision uses its advanced 96 kHz internal DSP system, digital switching and audiophile-grade, custom-designed amplifiers to deliver true linear phase response above 150 Hz (and minimal phase shift at low frequencies) for accurate stereo imaging, specific transients, tight bass and precise detail. The result is a clean, transparent, and accurately referenced sample sound that is absolutely accurate to reality.

Perfect time alignment eliminates ear fatigue
iLoud Precision sets a new standard for temporal coherence, or precise timing, across all parts of the frequency spectrum. iLoud Precision offers the highest level of temporal accuracy without sacrificing frequency response for near-ideal presentation. Precision Time Coherence offers incredible transient accuracy and frequency balance. It also eliminates the ear fatigue that often occurs with prolonged listening on most other monitors.

Acoustic calibration so you only hear your music, not the listening room
With iLoud Precision, you don't have to worry about less than ideal listening room acoustics. Each monitor features built-in calibration based on the acclaimed ARC™ System technology. Simply plug in the included MEMS measurement microphone and within seconds, iLoud Precision adapts to any environment. It doesn't matter if you're sitting in the overhead of a professional studio or at home in your living room.

Deep, controlled bass - even without a subwoofer
With bass extension up to 36 Hz at just 4 dB, iLoud Precision delivers deep, powerful bass that is nonetheless controlled and balanced with minimal phase rotation. With ARC enabled, iLoud Precision can reach up to 30 Hz in many rooms. Adjustable bass clipping allows Precision monitors to be used with a subwoofer for unmatched low-end frequency response in any setting. There is no need for an external turnout that could degrade the system's sound presentation.

Additional settings for all possible setups
In addition to calibration in a variety of listening conditions, iLoud Precision monitors offer a range of low and high frequency settings, including switchable Full/35/50/65/80 Hz extension to optimize the monitors when used in setups with Atmos® technology and other multi-channel systems.

Powerful Software Control - Advanced Calibration and Custom Sound
iLoud Precision monitors come with X-MONITOR, a newly developed advanced control application for Mac and Windows. This helps with ARC calibration and allows for advanced acoustic space settings and adjustments to fine tune iLoud Precision to your taste. At the same time, it offers convenient remote access to settings on the monitors' rear panel. The software is plug-n-play via a simple USB connection with no special setup required on your computer.

Emulating popular iconic monitors
Another strength of X-MONITOR technology is emulating the frequency and phase response of legendary studio monitors, as well as popular hi-fi speakers and mobile devices. More than 20 profiles are available and more will be added over time. This will save you money and studio space. A single pair of iLoud Precisions with X-MONITOR technology allows you to quickly test the mix on different reference systems without leaving your "sweet spot" or owning additional monitors.

Measuring microphone included
Each iLoud Precision includes a high-precision MEMS measuring microphone for built-in ARC calibration, making monitor setup a breeze.

Includes isolation feet
iLoud Precision was designed to meet the specific needs of audio professionals and musicians. That's why each monitor includes a set of 4 iLoud Isolation Pods. These flexible rubber isolation feet dramatically reduce the transmission of resonances between monitors and a desk or monitor stand. This results in even better sound clarity, consistency and accuracy across the entire frequency spectrum.

Optional remote control
As an optimal optional accessory, you can also purchase the iLoud Precision Remote. It allows you to easily switch between 4 X-MONITOR speaker emulations or custom presets and assign functions such as ARC On/Off, Mute or Dim. When used with ARC software, the remote can control the room measurement/calibration process from the desk while providing visual feedback on the status of the process.

Designed and handcrafted in Italy
In addition to leveraging IK Multimedia's 25+ years of experience in monitor design and construction and digital signal processing, iLoud Precisions also benefits from a tradition of honest Italian craftsmanship.
