Building on the legacy of its critically acclaimed predecessor, the Precision Series MKII delivers tangible performance improvements through state-of-the-art hardware and firmware advancements. It’s designed for professional and high-fidelity applications and ensures superior sound accuracy and long-term reliability.

The Precision 5 MKII combines high-fidelity sound, precise tuning and future-proof calibration technology, establishing a new standard for professional studio monitoring.

ARC X Room Correction: Built-in ARC X automatically tunes your monitors to your space—correcting frequency response for a perfectly optimized system.
Upgraded Acoustic Enclosure: The new MKII cabinet features enhanced internal bracing and refined HDF construction for reduced resonance and greater clarity across the spectrum.
Graphene reinforced tweeter: Experience high-frequency detail with a rigid, ultra-light graphene-reinforced tweeter design.
Flexible Integration Options: Mounting brackets make it easy to install Precision MKII in immersive studio setups.
Ultra-Linear Frequency Response: Hear your mix uncolored, thanks to a ±1 dB flat response from 45 Hz to 30 kHz.
Time-coherent and linear phase monitoring: Reduce ear fatigue and improve mix clarity with perfectly aligned transients, delivering a natural listening experience.
Extended Low-End: Enjoy deep, controlled bass down to 37 Hz (-4 dB) – no sub needed.

Key Enhancements

Advanced Tweeter Design

The newly developed graphene reinforced textile dome tweeter combines ultra-lightweight construction with enhanced rigidity, ensuring detailed high-frequency performance that improves transparency and minimises distortion.

Enhanced Enclosure for Superior Acoustics

A low-resonance, high-damping cabinet design optimises sonic clarity, providing precise transient response and an improved soundstage presentation for immersive mixing and mastering environments.

Optimised Production Process for Greater Value

Through an improved production process, the Precision Series MKII delivers superior performance at a more competitive price, making it an even smarter investment for audio professionals without compromising quality.

New Mounting Options

The MKII series introduces a new mounting system for secure and flexible installation. A dedicated metal bracket is now available separately, making it easier to mount your speakers and precisely set angles for optimal positioning. This system is ideal for immersive setups or permanent installations, ensuring stability and precision in any environment.

Smarter Monitoring with ARC X Integration

Your Studio. Perfectly Tuned. Automatically.

Full integration with IK’s new ARC X system brings intelligent acoustic calibration directly into your workflow. ARC X automatically analyses your space and applies precise correction for a flat frequency response, aligns timing across monitors, and balances output levels—eliminating room-induced issues that obscure your mix decisions.

• Fully Automated Calibration – Precisely adjusts frequency response, level alignment and time alignment across all channels.

• System Tuning – Effortlessly customise the overall sound signature by dialling in more bass or treble to suit your preference.

• Intuitive Visual Interface – Easily manage and optimize room setup with a clear graphical representation.

• Realistic Speaker Emulation – Effectively replicates the sound of more than 20 reference speaker systems, including high-end studio monitors, Hi-Fi speakers, smart speakers and mobile devices.

ARC X redefines studio monitoring by providing intelligent system calibration and versatile tuning options. These options ensure a perfectly aligned setup with unparalleled accuracy and consistency for critical listening environments.
