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!

IK Multimedia’s highly anticipated studio monitors are on their way!

The wait is over, iLoud MTM studio monitors are en route.  Prepare for your perception of studio monitors to be completely shattered as iLoud MTM plays music like you’ve never heard before.  After shocking the industry with the size and power of iLoud Micro Monitor, IK was challenged to push its concept even further – to design a new compact speaker to rival 5”, 6” and even 8” monitors.  The result is iLoud MTM, and you have to hear them to believe it.

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 before, and avoid wasting hours trying to EQ away issues that were never there.

With a generous 100W RMS power and a class-defying 40 Hz to 24 kHz frequency response, iLoud MTM are extremely loud and clear.  Incredible accuracy and transparency, deep and defined bass, precise stereo imaging at any distance, and automatic room calibration, all in a monitor that’s small enough to fit on any desktop. 

iLoud MTM monitors feature built-in, one-touch acoustic auto-calibration derived from IK’s award winning ARC™ System, with IK’s reference ARC™ microphone included, to easily adjust the frequency response to your positioning.

iLoud MTM uses a midrange-tweeter-midrange symmetrical design, with a pair of 3.5” high performance woofers and one 1” high definition tweeter, which provide ultra-precise, defined, point-source sound that can’t be achieved by traditional 2-way systems at close distances.  The result is a more natural, life-like sound that minimizes the ear fatigue caused by traditional 2- or 3-way designs where different frequencies arrive at the listener’s ears at different times, so you can mix longer with less effort.

iLoud MTM offers:

• Ultra-flat frequency response
• Phase-coherent sound
• Extended, controlled low end
• Superior sound at short distances
• ARC self-calibration adjusts to any room
• DSP-controlled for superior performance
• 100W RMS total power per speaker
• 40 Hz to 24 kHz frequency response
• 0° – 20° tilting stand for ideal positioning

iLoud MTM is the perfect studio monitor for the producers of today.  From highly treated studio spaces to a spare bedroom, iLoud MTM will sound great in any environment it faces.  With its symmetrical design and phase-coherent response, iLoud MTM offers ultra-focused, accurate monitoring anywhere.  Designed with you in mind, iLoud MTM brings a new type of quality to your home studio.

“It covers every base wherever you are…in the studio or on the road.”

Mike Orlando of Adrenaline Mob and Sonic Stomp recently made the great addition of using AXE I/O for recording guitar in his studio.  The Sonic Stomp studio is fully equipped for recording every kind of music imaginable, and now has AXE I/O to really bring the magic to recording guitar.  Complimenting its quality and usability, with the JFET knob, Active/Passive switch, and many ins and outs, Mike Orlando talks about how helpful AXE I/O has become for him both in the studio and on the road.  Check out the full video below.

Paired with AmpliTube, which it includes for free, AXE I/O becomes a total guitarist paradise.  With the reamping feature, AXE I/O has access to hundreads of amazing tones straight through AmpliTube, with a convenitent preset knob to easily search through the sounds.

Mike Orlando is the guitarist/founding member of the explosive hard rock group Adrenaline Mob and guitarist in Brazilian metal act Noturnall.  As owner of his own recording studio, Sonic Stomp Studios, he handles everything from engineering, producing, mixing & mastering.
