IK Multimedia Introduces iLoud Micro Monitors

Posted by | Oct 27, 2016 | , , |

Get high-end sound without the high-end price We are pleased to announce that iLoud Micro Monitor, the ultra-compact best sounding monitors for small studios, is now shipping and available from select IK resellers worldwide and the IK online store for only $/€299.99 per pair. iLoud Micro Monitor delivers amazingly detailed, clear and accurate audio in a compact, efficient and portable enclosure. They are able to do this because of the combination of DSP-controlled frequency response, ultra-accurate and time aligned crossover and smart design – the drivers are powered by four ultra-efficient class D power amplifiers that push out a combined 50W RMS of power. Each individual speaker has a 3/4” silk dome tweeter, a 3” custom composite material performance woofer and a large flaring front-firing bass reflex port. iLoud Micro Monitor is characterized by having pleasing high frequencies, an exceptionally “open” detailed midrange and a solid, controlled low end. Total DSP control iLoud Micro Monitor provides a flat and linear speaker response in any listening environment thanks to its onboard 56-bit digital signal processor (DSP). The DSP handles the frequency and phase response of the monitors and also manages the dynamic range so that the drivers are always under control. The DSP acts as a digital crossover allowing for invisibly smooth transitions between the drivers and can be adjusted to suit different listening environments thanks to the three EQ switches:...

Recently, I can across a newer guitar podcast called Guitar Knobs. As with any podcast, I gave them my 3 episode rule. If you haven’t caught my interest in 3 episodes, I’m done. While I’ve enjoyed all of the episodes I’ve listened to so far,...

New GearCast Episode – Jim Crockett Interview

Posted by | Sep 5, 2015 | , , , |

Recently, I had the opportunity to sit down and talk with Jim Crockett, the former Editor and President of Guitar Player magazine.  Jim has recently release a memoir of his time at Guitar Play entitled Guitar Player: The Inside Story of the First Two Decades of the Most Successful Guitar Magazine Ever. Unlike other memoirs I have read from the music industry, Jim’s book isn’t about name dropping, in fact, it’s the complete opposite.  The book tells the stories of the people who made Guitar Player what it is.  Columnists, photographers, layout designers, and even early advertisers, all worked...
