When you showed the correction curves on the screen, I noticed that your original room curve was very similar to what mine was like. After engaging the correction, it was an INSANE improvement!

I have switched to the iLoud Precision 6 studio monitors over six months ago and, in my small and untreated place, the ARC technology really made it world of difference. Astounding is the word. Good that ARC is now part of the updated iLoud MTM, which seems to me to be a great value for what it does. Enjoy yours!

Would be interesting to compare with AIAIAI Unit-4 Wireless.

That is a very compact studio you have there!

I own a pair of iLoud MTM (previous version) And indeed, I love the size, the look and how they perform. However, the high pitched hiss noise issue these monitors are kinda renowned for, has hardly been fixed. I hope the Mark 2 has that problem solved.

@TheGaragebandGuide Ай бұрын

I certainly never came across anything like that. What happens exactly?

@mjamiep12 Ай бұрын

I have the originals, too (also love them). I've not experienced any hiss, though. Probably got lucky.

@neverender2308 Ай бұрын

The hiss is the Bluetooth automatically searching to connect. The hiss goes away after about 20 seconds. I have the iloud micro. Hopefully they fixed it. Really don’t need Bluetooth anywau

i got an older iteration out of this line of speakers that i use for media consumption as well as the occasional beatmaking... these things are tangible for real

@DavidIzquierdoAzzouz 14 күн бұрын

do you need to be running the X-monitor every time you want the sound corrected? Or do the speakers store the correction filter (and modifications you may add) once calibrated through the X-monitor?

@TheGaragebandGuide 14 күн бұрын

They store it. You only need to set up with the ARC mic once, the sound profile is stored and used even if you don’t have the speakers connected to your computer.

I’ve not seen anything to suggest they are much different than the mk1s - I only just got a pair. I don’t like to put down support but it appears that they have about a 5 year life span. It’s a shame they didn’t offer any updates to the previous spec that are still on sale. All products do go legacy but these are on the pricier side and looks like they don’t get much support after a few years. Not saying there is much wrong with the version 1s but I’m sure some may feel a bit upset that there was not a discount when we bought the mk1s only a few months ago. On the flip side if you want a pair don’t wait because if you leave it they will bring out something new again.

Gotta be honest though.... I have 11 of them in an immersive setup and absolutely love them. My other other monitors for reference are Barefoot MM27s Gen2 and Footprint 01s.. The MTMs don't have the SPL, however ... they punch way above their weight and to be honest, they don't need to be any louder, especially if you're mixing 8-9 hours a day.

@foljs5858 Ай бұрын

"but these are on the pricier side" considering monitor prices, these are cheap

@jakeah1175 16 күн бұрын

If you switch off the arc do you then get zero latency instead of 2.2ms extra rtl? I wanted to track guitar with as low latency as possible but mix with arc…

@TheGaragebandGuide 16 күн бұрын

@@jakeah1175 will depend on the audio interface you have them attached to, though you should probably consider tracking with headphones anyway.

@jjptech Ай бұрын

If the power only comes from USB, I presume the power volume is really weak.

@TheGaragebandGuide Ай бұрын

They’re powered monitors, you need to connect them to the mains in order to use them.

Why call them monitors, they are speakers, where does that term come from?

@TheGaragebandGuide Ай бұрын

It’s a weird one, isn’t it? ‘Studio monitors’ are usually specifically designed to be used in a recording/mixing environment and are usually designed to priced as flat a frequency response as possible.

I guess the conundrum is, to monitor... As screens can be called Displays also..... Mwhahahahahahahahahahahaha

@jatsajatsa Ай бұрын

@@TheGaragebandGuide ...Which makes me wonder how a "monitor" that has frequency controls / filters in it's internal path can still call itself a monitor. Not doubting they're good though.
