GarageBand & Beyond Reviews iLoud MTM

“I think they’re worth every single penny.”

GarageBand & Beyond has been a long-time fan of our iLoud Micro Monitors.  After the relese of the iLoud MTM studio monitors, we had to catch back up with “YouTube’s longest running and most trusted channel dedicated to home recording tutorials” to see how they like our newest product release.  Complimenting the strong low end, the impressively wide stereo imagine, the ARC callibration system, and more, GarageBand & Beyond commends the iLoud MTM speakers for their user-centered design.  Here are some highlights from the review below.

“The high end of these I like much better than my 8-inch monitors. These have all that clarity but are not as brash to my ears…the high end of these — really, really nice.”

A really well thought out product.

“It’s the stereo imaging that was one of the first thing I noticed…really, really, impressive stereo imaging.”

“What I love about the iLoud series in general; they are making these things with the home recording artist specifically in mind.”

“I like them, I think they’re worth every single penny.”

Rolling Stone features UNO Synth

UNO Synth chosen as one of their best synthesizers under USD $200.

Since its release, UNO Synth has become a staple for musicians looking to enter into the world of analog hardware.  UNO Synth has continued its journey with a recent feature in Rolling Stone.  Listed as one of “the best synthesizers under $200”, UNO Synth is commended for its versatility, from stage, to studio, and everywhere in between.  Read some of the highlights from RollingStone.com below.

“What’s more, this synth features a 27-note keyboard with two octaves of sound control, allowing you to dig deep into the possibilities and get creative with your tracks.”

What’s most exciting about the UNO though, is its ability to seamlessly go from stage, to studio to anywhere in between.

“The UNO is versatile in that it can be linked with other MIDIs for live shows or used for editing thanks to IKM’s UNO Editor which comes complimentary with purchase of the device.”

“Featuring two oscillators and 100 presets, the UNO from IK Multimedia is an impressive synth for the price point.”

“I really fell in love with these iLoud MTMs”

Tom Lord-Alge, award-winning legendary mixing engineer (Rolling Stones, Steve Winwood, Blink 182, Live, more), has been using iLoud MTM nearfield studio monitors in his studio and recommends them.  Tom cuts to the chase at the end of the video below when he states that “cats that are starting out can get the same speakers I’m using… and are able to afford them”.

Tom also explains the benefits of iLoud MTM – no ear fatigue, easy calibration, phase accuracy, and much more.  He even calls iLoud MTM “the great equalizer” and says the bass response is so good that multiple clients have asked if he’s using a sub with them!

Watch the whole video below:

iLoud MTM offers an ultra-flat frequency response, but more importantly, a truly linear phase response – a premiere feature in this price segment available only on a handful of products costing considerably more. This gives iLoud MTM a natural, true-to-life sound made possible by IK’s advanced DSP expertise.

iLoud MTM uses audiophile-grade, high resolution algorithms and top-of-the line A/D converters to carefully manage cross-overs, filtering, time alignment, equalization, dynamics control and auto-calibration.  Prepare to hear instruments and dialogue as if they were happening live, discover more detail in your tracks than ever befor
