Review: Legendary Jimmy Douglass talks iLoud Precisions

 

The Senator on iLoud Precision Learn why the legendary producer and engineer loves IK's new studio monitors 4-time GRAMMY-winning Producer/Engineer Jimmy "The Senator" Douglass is a legend in the music game. Working with all of your favorite artists over the last four decades, he's delivered hit records from Justin Timberlake and Jay-Z to Aretha Franklin and Led Zeppelin. We caught up with Jimmy on his experience using the iLoud Precision studio monitors. Here's The Senator's verdict on the new Precision MTMs: "I am floored by the huge sound, robust and powerful. A big grand-sounding monitor, radiating full spectrum awesomeness. These are the real deal, transparent, and lightweight, but pack a heavyweight sonic sound. The option to use various other tuned monitors puts them in a class all their very own." - Jimmy Douglass See the specs for each iLoud Precision design Choose from 3 iLoud Precision designs Registered owners of iLoud Micro Monitors and iLoud MTM are eligible for special pricing on Precision pairs.

iLoud Precision overview   Truly class-defying audio performance beats monitors three times the price Best-in-class frequency response with extended 36 Hz – 30 kHz range Ultra-flat to ±1 dB across 45 Hz – 30 kHz spectrum Unique linear phase response for unmatched clarity Perfect time alignment that matches theoretical ideal speaker performance Built in ARC™ calibration with included measurement microphone Includes X-MONITOR software with 20+ iconic monitor emulations and extended voicing controls Individually calibrated with ±0.5 dB unit-to-unit consistency Developed and handcrafted in Italy

Best-in-class frequency response Creating mixes that translate perfectly to the outside world, iLoud Precision offers best-in-class frequency response with an extended range of 36 Hz – 30 kHz and a stunning +/- 1 dB accuracy ultra-flat response from 45 Hz to 30 kHz, for precise and uncolored audio throughout the entire listening range.

True linear phase response for unmatched clarity and translation iLoud Precision leverages its advanced 96 kHz internal DSP system, digital crossover and custom-designed audiophile amplifiers to deliver true linear phase response above 150 Hz (and the very minimum possible phase rotation at low frequencies) for precise stereo imaging, sharp transients, incredibly solid bass and breathtaking detail. The result is a stunningly clear, transparent and revealing sound quality that’s absolutely true to life.

Perfect time alignment that eliminates ear fatigue iLoud Precision also sets a new standard for time coherence, or the precise timing alignment between all the portions of the audio spectrum. Reaching nearly the theoretical ideal performance, iLoud Precision offers the highest level of time accuracy, without sacrificing frequency response. Precise time alignment offers incredibly transient response and frequency balance and eliminates the ear fatigue that can develop over longer listening sessions on lesser monitors. Plus this improves the “readability” of the program and therefore translation.

Deep, controlled bass with or without a sub With bass extension down to 36 Hz at only - 4 dB, iLoud Precision delivers deep, powerful bass that’s nevertheless controlled and balanced, with minimum phase rotations. With ARC enabled, in many rooms iLoud Precision can reach as low as 30 Hz, while an adjustable bass roll-off lets Precisions integrate with a sub, for unparalleled low-end performance in any setup, without the need of an external crossover that could degrade sonic performance.

Extended calibration and custom voicing The iLoud Precision series introduces X-MONITOR, a newly developed advanced control application for Mac and Windows that assists with ARC calibration and enables extended acoustic and voicing selection and adjustments to fine-tune iLoud Precision to your taste, plus convenient remote access to the settings on the Precision’s back panel. The software is plug-n-play via a simple USB connection with no special setup needed. Iconic studio monitors and popular speaker emulations Even more exciting, X-MONITOR emulates the frequency and phase response of the most famous studio monitors on the market, as well as popular hi-fi speakers and mobile devices, for a breathtakingly true-to-life experience. Over 20 studio monitor profiles are included, and more will be released in the future, saving you money and space. A single pair of iLoud Precisions with X-MONITOR lets you test a mix on different reference systems quickly, without ever leaving the sweet spot or needing any other speakers.

Isolation pods included Designed to meet the specific needs of audio professionals and musicians, each iLoud Precision includes a kit of 4 iLoud Isolation Pods. Enjoy enhanced audio clarity, consistency and imaging precision throughout the whole frequency spectrum as these custom pods dramatically reduce the propagation of vibrations between the speaker and supporting surface.

Optional remote control The optional iLoud Precision Remote Control lets you switch easily between 4 X-MONITOR speaker emulations or custom voicings and assign functions like ARC On/Off, Mute or Dim. And for use with ARC room correction software, the remote can control the measurement/room calibration process from the desk while providing visual feedback on the process status.
