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

Rear panel control at your desktop

X-MONITOR gives you access to all the same controls as Precisions rear panel from your desktop and lets you save their settings as user presets for easy recall. You can select individual speakers or linked pairs. From the software you can adjust the low-frequency extension, the low- and high-frequency contours, standby timer setting and more. No more struggling to experiment with back panels settings, it can all be adjusted within X-MONITOR.

Iconic speaker emulation

X-MONITOR controls Precisions ability to emulate the frequency and phase response of the most famous studio monitors on the market, working in tandem with the ARC settings for the best possible sound in any listening environment. This is ideal for testing a mix on different reference systems quickly, without ever leaving the sweet spot and ARCs calibration.

Choose the emulation you want to try from the Virtual Monitoring dropdown menu and X-MONITOR applies your selection to the Precisions. For immersive audio setups, X-MONITOR lets you choose the same or different monitor emulations for each Precision or pair of Precisions for maximum flexibility.

The speaker emulations are stored inside the Precisions firmware and the one last used is recalled the next time the speakers are turned on. Using X-MONITOR, or the optional remote control, makes it incredibly easy to audition and load the over 20 iconic speaker emulations or return iLoud Precision to its own original, superior sound.
