iLoud Micro Monitor is a full-featured ultra-compact stereo monitoring system.

It’s a pair of portable studio monitors with a professional-quality bi-amplified design that provides an honest and accurate sound with a true linear frequency response.

iLoud Micro Monitor is powered by four amps that deliver a combined 50 W RMS of power. Each offer extreme clarity and superior bass response via two 3/4” tweeters and two 3” woofers.

These features are augmented by an on-board 56-bit DSP processor. It gives you total control of the monitor’s performance, allowing for stunningly accurate and detailed sound that’s hardly believable considering the size and price.

It can be adjusted to suit different playback situations thanks to its speakers’ two positionable angles of inclination and three dedicated EQ switches: bass, treble and a “free field”/”desktop” compensation switch. These switches let you optimize its sound for your listening environment.

It also comes with a full range of source options that includes Bluetooth streaming as well as RCA and 1/8” inputs.

iLoud Micro Monitor is perfect for mixing, mastering, composing, producing, critically listening and more in a wide variety of situations both while traveling and while at home or in the studio.

Installation and setup

We recommend using high-quality audio cables to guarantee optimal performance. It is important to ensure the speakers stand firmly on a solid ground. Please note that the loudspeakers will need a few days to achieve optimum sonic performance.

1. Make sure that the volume control of iLoud Micro Monitor is set to minimum. Make sure that the ON/OFF switch on the rear panel is set to OFF.

2. Connect the speakers with the included connection cable.

7. Play audio from your audio source and slowly raise the volume of the iLoud Micro Monitor to a comfortable listening level.

8. If needed, adjust the speakers response with the dedicated controls on the rear panel of the left speaker.

9. If needed adjust the speakers inclination with the tilting pads.

Note: Before plugging in and turning on, remember the “last on, first off” rule of powered speakers. When powering up your system, be sure that all the wires are connected, turn your mixer/interface and any other outboard gear on, and then last turn on your iLoud Micro Monitor. When powering down, turn your iLoud Micro Monitor off first and then your mixer/interface and outboard gear.

Audio inputs

RCA unbalanced line input

These RCA jacks allows for the connection of line sources (i.e., mixer/audio interface bal/unbal line out) both for the Left and Right channel.

1/8” AUX unbalanced input

This unbalanced line input allows for the connection of stereo unbalanced audio sources (i.e., computer stereo output, music player stereo output, smartphone/tablet stereo output).

Speaker’s connection ports

These ports (present on both speakers) allows you to connect the active speaker (Left port) with the passive speaker (Right one). These are 4 pins connectors: in this way is it possible to carry the powered signal both for the HF driver and the LF driver.
