The Mr Rogers of mixing lol
Ahahahahah thanks! I love Mr Rogers! I was dressed up for a church thing, figured I'd keep it on.
What if Andrew Yang was white :p
@GaragebandandBeyond I like you just the way you are. :-)
Mixter Rogers
I thought the same thing 😂😂
Can't stop watching review for speakers I already own xD
Hahaha
Great video! I am picking up a pair of these speakers and I appreciated hearing you were still happy with them after a year.
I listened to this video through my iLoud monitors. Brilliant sound.
Thanks for the sincere, informative review!
That sweater and the celeste in the background go quite well together:)
I've been trying to decide whether to buy these monitors or not by reading reviews and such, but you have sealed the deal for me! Brilliant that you reviewed it a year on, as that perspective is not often given...and even better you still LOVE them! My order has been placed and I'll receive them in a few day's time! Thanks so much!
Hey Lewin, Great and helpful video for when I'm ready to buy monitors. The new studio looks great in the background!
Awesome, thank you for your opinion. A former coworker from Guitar Center mentioned these to me in our conversation about getting new home studio monitors.
I got them as my first monitors and they sound superb. They translate very well
I was quite skeptical in the very first place. But after I installed those speakers in my room, it sounded absolutely unbelievable as it’s loud and clear. Been using it for 3-4 months now.
Hey, I'm seriously considering buying these monitors, but I read the reviews online and I'm worried about their longevity... There are not so little comments about how something just stops working e.g. woofer/back panel/volume wheel etc. after anywhere from 4 to 10 months. And I see you wrote this comment a year ago, so I wanna ask if you're still using them and have they worked properly since you got them? Thanks in advance.
Bump
thanks for the review, I've been looking at these, will hopefully buy them soon
I know this video isn't new, but thanks for posting it. Definitely helped!
Awaiting my delivery tomorrow can’t wait to experience them
Thanks for the recommendation! Just ordered a pair!!
You are going to LOVE them!!!
I'll second everything said here in the video... had them for almost a year, and they are enabling my progress in my mixing skills for sure!
I just wanna ask if you still have and use the iLouds? If yes, how long do you own them in total? Are they still functioning properly and didn't get faulty (woofer/panel dying, bass port noise etc.)? I'd like to buy them, but I read online that many users complain about how short they last, that something stops working after 4-5 months etc. Thanks in advance!
I use them for my Plasma TV as a 2.0 speaker setup.. Maybe a overkill, but they are so clear and at the same time also very pleasing sounding.. I really love them..
Not the right application for nearfield monitors??
LectroSoul For the very same reason I purchased the Presonus Eris 3.5 monitors instead.For a reasonable £83 I can now hear TV dialogue! For my needs I find these a great improvement. I also didn’t really want a sound bar.
eta - I have yet to hear the iLoud (stoopid name! Italians having a dig at Apple?) . . . . but they are on my radar & tempted to try for my PC gaming!
I love mine! Amazing little beasts!
Thank you, got a pair and I like them a lot.
Man! you should work for iK! I'm sold!! hahaha. Thanks for the great content!!
I replaced my Audioengine A2+ with these iLoud Monitors about 3 months ago. They're for my laptop. I was really surprised at how much better the iLoud sounds. Great little speakers!!
still works?
lol me too
Moving into a new place with shared wall neighbors.. Got em' on a Amazon marketplace deal for $175. Super excited to get my hands on these.
I was definitely impressed by these monitors.
Great video, just bought a pair of these for my small studio.
How are they working for you so far?
I was expecting unpleasant bass resonances as usual but they're completely different from any other monitors. They kinda give the impression of a super dry control room with way bigger monitors. I'm very excited about that.
Me too! I have a pair of Kali In-5's for when I need extra volume and wallop but the iLoud Micro's are perfect for normal day to day tracking and when I need to mix at lower volume. The bottom end on these things are ridiculous, the sound you hear doesn't make sense when you see the size of them. Worth every single penny! P.S. The bluetooth fuction is really useful for playing references off my phone.
know it's an amazing engineering .I hope very soon I will buy this
.
great review, thanks
Thanks for the review , these little 🔥🔥🥳Just arrived today and the base response when listening to tech house is amaze balls
I KNOW RIGHT!?!?!? I LOVE them and they're still going strong! I use the ALL the time. Enjoy!!
Hey, I just wanna ask if you still have and use the iLouds? If yes, how long do you own them in total? Are they still functioning properly and didn't get faulty (woofer/panel dying, bass port noise and hiss etc.)? I'd like to buy them, but I read online that many users complain about how short they last, that something stops working after 3-4 months etc. I don't wanna buy monitors that I'll have to return after a couple of months...Thanks in advance!
@@ari.2406 there still functioning perfectly like the day they arrived , admittedly I've not pushed them to hard cause mix a low to medium volume
@@DJLeeStreet thanks for answering! I would use them near-field, so loud volumes wouldn't be necessary. Once again, thank you.
I had a pair for only a few days and loved them. I sadly returned them because I needed the money to pay bills. I hope to get a new set soon.
Mine are still pumping! Thank you!
Hi there, I just wanna ask if you still have and use the iLouds? If so, how long do you own them in total? Are they still functioning properly and didn't get faulty (woofer/panel dying, bass port noise etc.)? I'd like to buy them, but I read online that many users complain about how short they last, that something stops working etc. Was/is your experience like that or similar to it? Thanks in advance!
@@ari.2406 I do still have and use them and they work just fine. However I feel like I don't use them as much as maybe a sound engineer would or a music producer. I use mine like regular speakers for just listening to music and playing games. I bought these with the intention of using them for music but I never got around to it. As far as speakers go though they work and sound great and the small footprint is what sold me.
@@Asuma492 thank you for replying! Even though you may not use them for music and sound engineering, I guess that daily gaming and music listening sessions surely take up some hours, or am I wrong? Nevertheless, thank you once again! :)
@@ari.2406 Yeah for sure, I'm definitely a casual gamer at this point since I don't have the time for it. I do listen to a lot of music at very loud volume and the speakers do well. I take care of my stuff though so I'm sure that helps keep the speakers on tip top shape. I didn't know quality control was an issue with these speakers first time I hear about it.
@@Asuma492 that's good to hear. Unfortunately yes, there are often reviews and comments about how they die in a matter of months (mostly woofers/volume knob/back panel) and complaints about how IK multimedia's support (iLoud manufacturer) is horrible. This is why I'm so glad to hear some positive thoughts and experience regarding this product. Once again, THANK YOU.
Holy shit... I thought Mr. Rogers was dead, but here he is doing follow up reviews on youtube. Hell yea.
LOL the one time I make video while wearing some nice clothes! LMAO
Recently came across your channel and loving the content. Quick question on these monitors: they only have RCA unbalanced and 1/8" stereo unbalanced inputs. How do you recommend connecting them to an audio interface with 1/4" balanced outputs for monitors (e.g. Scarlett 2i2)? Are there any cons to using unbalanced mono TS cables out of the audio interface's balanced outputs to iLoud MM RCA inputs? Thanks!
I have it and love it too. Just to say I mounted it at the right height of my desk using heavy mic stands, close to the wall, only a foam on this wall, controls all at flat, and digitally corrected with Arc of iK Multimedia. Also if the move few air the correction is relevant. Thinking to cuple with a sub. Presonus T8 ? 😉
Had mine a year , love them too.
I just wanna ask if you still have and use the iLouds? If yes, how long do you own them in total? Are they still functioning properly and didn't get faulty (woofer/panel dying, bass port noise and resonance etc.)? I'd like to buy them, but I read online that many users complain about how short they last, that something stops working after a matter of months etc. Thanks in advance!
I received mine for Christmas, I guess 2 1/2 years ago now, still use them every day, and have had no quality issues whatsoever.
@@trigliderider that's great to hear. Thank you a lot!
@@ari.2406 did you ever buy them?
@Robert Martin I did, in June 2020. They still work flawlessly, though I have never bothered to test the Bluetooth function or reverse the audio cord (since I have an audio interface). I have to note that I take proper care of them (wipe dust regularly, knob on their back is always actually below 0, I only accidentally had a peak once but it seems it didn't affect them).
As for the performance, I can definitely confirm that for the amount of money they're sold they may among the best (if not the best) performers in their price range (especially if your desk is small/lacking space in which case they are unbeatable).
I've been using them for music production and casual use (music listening and general audio output) and sound-wise, they punch way above their weight. Sure, they're not completely neutral (the sound reproduction is fairly balanced and neutral honestly) but hey, is there a system that is? Even the much more expensive ones often fail at that.
Low end gets cut off at like 55 Hz and it's pretty audible, but how IK managed to pump out 55Hz out of these juniors is beyond everyone. Besides, if I have to work on low end I usually do it through headphones.
I'll add that I've used them with two different interfaces (dirt cheap Behringer UMC22 for over a year and SSL 2+ for a couple of months now). At first I couldn't say if there was discernible quality of audio reproduction, but once I played FLACs and produced using my go-to samples and VSTs I could defnitiely hear even more sound info and depth.
Ok I've gone off the rails a bit 😂
All in all, if you can get them and are limited by available room in your workspace then by all means buy them. Or even if you aren't, still get them, it can't be a bad choice. Though it's important to say that iLouds are strictly near-field monitors for small rooms (up to a meter of working distance would be the max functional amount at sweet spot) and that's applied if you're doing technical sound work. If, on the other hand, you have enough space on your desk then there are alternatives in that price range (Adam T5V, Presonus Eris E5 etc.). Whatever your scenario might be, Micros are a great buy. All the best ✌🏻
I've been mixing on these for about two weeks. I wish I had them 10 records ago. The concept of mixing on small monitors is 100% spot on and these little dudes sound great. My mixes are translating really well, and though you dont get tons of bass response, my low end mix is better than ever and accomplished in the smallest amount of time ever. Fantastic. I took my mixes to a pro studio with bad ass huge monitors and they sounded right on those too. Most home recordists have poorly treated or untreated problematic rooms to mix in - these help a lot.
I just wanna ask if you still have and use the iLouds? If so, how long do you have them in total? Are they still functioning properly and didn't get faulty (woofer/panel dying, bass port noise etc.)? I'd like to buy them, but I read online that many users complain about how short they last, that something stops working after a couple of months etc. and I don't want to splurge almost 300 dollars just to return them in like 3 months. Did you maybe experience any of the above? Thanks in advance!
@@ari.2406 Still have thm and depend on them. Thet are great - no issues of any kind to report. Just get them - you'll want other references but these help a lot.
@@promoted738 thanks for replying! I'm not really in a financial position to afford multiple monitors so these would be my primary ones for quite some time (music production + mixing). Again, thank you!
@@ari.2406 you're welcome. You can't push them too hard. They have an internal clip protection circuit that will mute them. One feature that's useful is the led light on the front - it's white when they are on but turns color and eventuall clips red. They can help you "see" the mix pushing too hard. i know there are several other meters for that but there's somthing about the monitors doing it that I find helpful. you won't regret getting them. I found mine used on Ebay for 180.00
I got mine about 4 months ago in white and love them
That’s awesome! The white ones look awesome!
Hi, I just wanna ask if you still have and use the iLouds? If yes, how long do you own them in total?

I'd like to buy them, but I read online that many users complain about how short they last, that something stops working after 3-4-5 months etc. Thanks in advance!
the puppeteer No I actually waited for a month as I ordered white ones which were brand new stock straight from Italy and I have had them with no issues for about 18 months now and I also use the calibrated with Sonarworks for final mixing and mastering only and they are my main mix monitors due to my current studio being in the dining room of our home
@@justincarty2028 thank you so much for replying! I'm starting to think that iLouds are the monitors I'll go with :)
Subbeddd big league
Well I just purchased a pair on Reverb.com after I saw this video. The new ones with the mic are cool but I’ll wait for when I have my own place to create a nice home studio. At the moment I’m super mobile
I got mine a year and a half ago and they are the only ones I use.
I made the mistake of using the built in mic stand mounts to position my monitors up and a bit farther away. There really is a difference in the bass response if the monitors are arms width apart or not. I'd recommend just keeping them on the desk.
This feels like a Kindergarten lesson, but I love it lol. Will be getting these
Ahahahahah what do you mean?
GaragebandandBeyond The music, your voice and the way you talk is something I would expect from a teacher or something lol
Alberto Sk Rico well... I am a teacher in a way.
It's probably the music more than anything! The content is really good though. Thanks for the info. Also by now (March 2019) there are the iLoud MTM studio speakers - looking very nice as well.
Lol.. Its the sleeping song background music :-)
thank you :)
I would like you to do a review on the new AVANTONE CLS10's. I really think they look interesting. Would love to hear your thoughts.
I just bought a pair of the white ones they had them on $199 special on IK’s website, I hope they’re good
I am a lot motivated now for these. Looking for some small reliable speakers for my ipad n kronos keyboard
That’s one of the greatest video on these I‘ve seen, thanks a lot! Are you still using them after all and what do you feel a couple of years later? Thanks!
Not only do I still use them, I just bought a new pair for my new studio. I also bought a second set of the MTM's.
@@GaragebandandBeyond Thats's great to hear, thanks! Mine arrived yesterday. Haven't been able to try em out but I'm looking forward to do so hopefully today! Cheers!
Great review as usual. BRAVO and thanks! My question: are they also good for listening music in a medium room. I mean not as "nearfield" e.g. infront of the speakers. Thanks
Definitely yes! I have a pair that are connected to my record player now, they sound amazing!
Ordered a pair of these. They are scheduled to arrive tomorrow. After mixing in my headphones for years, this will be my first experience mixing on monitors. I can not wait.
What is your experience? Do you mind sharing ?
@@NickChase I love them. They sound great and my mixes have noticeably improved. The Bluetooth is a nice little bonus for listing to music from my phone. Honestly, I don't have any negatives.
@@IHMadeThis do you use audio interface? tomorrow i hope deliver to my house. I forgot read all the specifications and they only have rca inputs 😅
Can i connect this with a xlr cable to my interface?
How good is the built quality , do they feel „well polished“? should I sell my jbl lsr 305s to buy those? is it worth it?
Are these monitors good as DIGITAL PIANO EXTERNAL SPEAKERS / MONITORS ? THANK YOU *** PS: GREAT channel !
I like how you mention they're flat. So they''re all round pretty good to make music on and then try on different speakers/headphones and it still sounds good?
I had HS5's before which were great but just moved into an apartment and want something a little smaller. I also don't need them to be crazy good monitors just good enough to make my own music on and have fun.
I also use DT990 Pro headphones which are good for keeping a flat-ish sound. Sometimes I pair with Sonarworks reference
I bought and received them yesterday. I'm blown away by the way they sound. Still working on the set up... what would you recommend: leave them on the desk or raise them from the desk to the ear level height? Next purchase will be a audio interface and was thinking about the Focusrite Scarlett Solo 2nd Gen Usb since i'm tight on a budget at the moment. By the way, keep up the great work and thanks for sharing your opinion on the iLoud Micro Monitors.
Yeah!! I'm glad you like them! I leave mine on the desk, it's really up to you and what you want.
If you have budget restrictions, get the original Focusrite 2i2 used on Ebay for $50. They are really good.
@@GaragebandandBeyond i'll play around some more to see or better, listen, what fits best for me. I certainly will have a look around for the original Focusrite 2i2. Thanks. :)
I put mine up (on my old monitors) 🤗
Typically tweeter at ear level is “best”.
Just ordered mine !
Hello, I just wanna ask if you still have and use the iLouds? If yes, how long do you have them? Are they still working fine, properly and didn't get faulty (woofer/panel dying, bass port noise etc.)? I'd like to buy them, but I read online that many users complain about how short they last, that something stops working etc. I don't want to spend 300 dollars on them only to return them after 3-4 months...Thanks in advance!
@@ari.2406 i have them for over a year now and still own them. As with everything, it all depends on how you treat your speakers or monitors. They still work fine and at the moment i only use them for listening to music. Had to drop the music hobby due a job switch. People who reported they lasted a very short time didn't treat them right.
these or FRFR for guitar home playing?
HI there, thanks a lot for all your videos on these monitors.
Could these be used for similar uses as the Mixcube? or even the MTM's? or am I better of going with the Mixcubes?
What kind of main monitors do you have now?
The Mixcubes are VERY VERY useful, but are not full range monitors. So they wouldn't be used as mains. They're more like a microscope for your mixes.
@@GaragebandandBeyond Oh my bad, so my mains right now are Genelec 8030's. Ahh okay, I think I'll stick to getting the Mixcube in that case.
Fantastic review! Would you still recommend these as the top pick for compact speakers in 2021? Thanks!
Most definitely yes! In fact I’m doing a giveaway right now of these monitors!
@@GaragebandandBeyond thank you for the quick response! And that's amazing! I would love to sign up for that.
I'm looking for a good subwoofer to go with my ilouds. What do you recommend?
Thinking of using replacing my adam AX3s with these. The highs are de-essed with the ribbon tweeters. Low end is not a issue since I have a tumbler 10 to pair them with. Hmmmm.
Almost , almost Justin long …this guy
Honestly came here to hear the speakers but couldn’t stop thinking that lol
00:53 you don´t need a ton a volume during mixing either. Check advice from CLA
hello! which sound cards to combine with these monitors? Thanks
try putting them a meter apart and stand/sit about 6 feet away from them and you will hear a much louder bass and better sound over all
are you in a treated room? most likely this effect is caused by phase cancellation due to your room geometry
@1:53 I guess you might have really meant "arm's-length width apart" (not shoulder-width.) Not only arm's length is more or less what you illustrate with your hand separation later, but also it would form an equilateral triangle with each speaker also at arm's length from the center of our head. So speakers on either side of a screen at more or less an arm's length from each other, and also each of them at an arm's length from our head.
Are they suitable for general use beside mixing, like watching RUclips and Netflix?
YES They are incredible for that!
I use them for my tv and they are insane good.. It is crazy how good video games sound..
Can I use these to get full range and flat response while practicing my guitar using Scarlett 2i2 and VST plugins like Scuffham S Gear etc.?
Most definitely YES!!!!
BUY THEM HERE: goo.gl/v1oJkk
Do these make sense for electonic piano or drum practice?
Thanks for the review! I got them a few days ago. There is a light hiss and a irregular higher frequency buzzing. Do you get that too?
Hmmmm no I do't. I would say check all the cables and connection points. It is probably NOT the iLouds.
And make sure you not cranking level IN (I’m sure you know that, just checking).
Do you still recommend these in 2023, I really like the price range since I can just plug them into my laptop without having to go through an amp. Im no profesional but the fact that they are small and can connect via Bluetooth make it ideal for my desk as a music enthusiast.
Definitely yes! they are fantastic.
Would these work well in a very small space? I work out of a semi truck. And I need something smaller and portable than my monitors in my home studio.
That's what they were designed for! Working in small spaces.
Hey I know your comment was from 2 years ago, but wanted to know if you got the iloud micro monitors , cuz I too work out of a semi truck. If you did get them do they sound good ?
Hey this is great! Let me ask you, I am a guitar player who uses amp modeling software, but I am always listening to with my Headphones. I have an iPad 10th generation. If I plug the ipad into the Iloud, would they sound good?
Yes, absolutely! They work great for that.
I Wonder how it fights with genelec 8010, which are actually as small, and money wise quite competitive with this on second hand market
I think he just sold me on these because they can function in a untreated space.
My give off a 1600Hz ring for about 24 seconds when I first turn them on...any idea why?
Anyone else experiencing that?
It's the darn bluetooth. Luckily it deactivates once it finishes searching. Pretty much renders useless the bluetooth capabilities, as the ringing persists when in use.
Hi, can we remove the front grill of the woofer and tweeter? Thank you... ;)
No you cannot remove them.
great content!!!!! yeah, i dislike it twice and liked it once :)
Хороший вопрос! Эти колонки оказались ремонтонепригодным Г.! Внутри две платы, одна из которых крепится к задней стенке корпуса 6 шурупами. Но после их выкручивания плату нельзя вынуть, так как она наглухо посажена на клей! Итог: мастер не может добраться до платы, ремонт не возможен!
Could you please tell me if these monitors have buzzing sound when being on but not being used like some speakers do? I plan to use them as my primary desktop speakers, so this is important, but I cannot find any hands-on information on this.
I'm listening in to a pair and they do have a hiss. The first 30 seconds or so when turning on while they scan bluetooth there is some extra hissing noise too. But when this ends, a slight amp humm with a hiss is certainly audible on this pair; sitting about 60 cm from them, with or without sources connected, different power sockets, flat eq settings. I turn their hardware volume down on them as possible which makes it kinda bearable, YRMV. Once audio is reproduced I don't notice it. Also be aware they sure do lets say 'feature' some pretty nasty port turbulence around the 50hz mark with very audible wind noise and chuffing at medium or higher levels and sustained notes (For anyone with a pair want to experience this, play 'These foolish Things' Jimmy Smith on Softly as a Summer Breeze record open.spotify.com/track/5yih6kBPAUIyKuN3M9doR2?si=9PIEgFxlTkGqz5J2ZWngeA ). Important to know if you're going to use this for certain genres with a lot of tones in that region. They sure are great sounding and impressive monitors, but they do have their quirks.
@@deegeeooh Thank you so much! This is exactly the information I was looking for!
@@artem.boldariev You're welcome, glad to help
@@deegeeooh Yes, detailed. Thank you.
@@deegeeooh Thank you. It's very important to know it.
I was looking for little monitors, with bluetooth, and without that annoying buzz sound, when not in use.
hi there bro !! do you know if theres anywhere i can buy the LINK CABLE But LONGER. ? Couldn´t find it anywhere, there´s only the 150 cm :/ Thank you !
It’s a relatively standard cable. I can’t remember off the top of head how many pins there are in it, but you should take a look at yours, count the pins and then do a google search for it. So for example “9 pin audio cable”
i have watched about 10000000 reviews for different affordable monitors on youtube. But what allot of reviewers seem to forget to mention is what and how are the speakers connected to? Makes a ton of difference. That’s a big reason why people say there’s no bass and others say theres too much.. A good preamplifier or audio interface is important.
These are self powered and can connect with 1/4 inch cables or RCA.
All the info can be found on the website of the company.
@@GaragebandandBeyondyes of course but the source matters
"its not going to break your ribs"
I mean, if I'm going to buy a speaker, I don't want it to break anything lmao
Hello,
First of all thank you for your review videos. I bought m-iloud micro monitors however there is whistle sound when ı play bass songs. It whistles when the air flows out from below. How can I fix tihs problem?
Thank you,
Ugurcan Evrim
Ugurcan Evrim Oh no! To me that sounds like something might be loose inside. Unfortunately I am going to recommend that you send them back. That’s too bad though, they really are fantastic little monitors.
@@GaragebandandBeyond Thank you :/
@@GaragebandandBeyond Sorry for bothering again but if its possible and if you are avaliable can you try the son with your iloud micro monitors? the song is '' A Thousand Nights- By Gregor Tresher(original mix)'' Maybe the bass is too low for this song. I also tested with the frequency test. It whistles between 50 Hz and 60 Hz. Is it normal? The whistle sounds similar like wind blowing from the window:) Thank you for your help.
They are good untill they are not, which with Ik multimedia hardware is the norm, i went through 3 Iloud's and now my Micromonitors are failing due to I think the cheap link cable which has broken on my micromonitors and also two of my friends have had the same issue.. I've had zero luck with Tech support who originally told me they would send me a link cable to see if that was the issue, they asked for my address for posting, which i gave, and a few days later received a reply with a link to purchase the cable from their site.. I will never buy Ik Multimedia hardware again, cheap components and dire customer service.. Plenty other options out there with a better history of making solid hardware..
Speaking about 3 db down point, why you do not metion that below 55 Gertz the frequencies are cut off by DSP **very hardly**. Which is unnatural, and will not allow you to apply any EQ correction.
are they good for mixing and mastering? im confused between them and presonus eris e 5
They are amazing for mixing and mastering. They're MUCH better than the Presonus monitors.
@@GaragebandandBeyond 🥲too late
If you’re using gigantic monitors in a room with no bass traps and no acoustic treatment at all, your mixes are going to sound awful; you’re absolutely right.
If you were to choose your next monitors after the big ones what would it be - iLouds or Avantones?
Nullll1111 the Avantones probably. Especially if you only have one set of monitors. The iLouds are great, don’t getme wrong. But the avantones are like specialized surgical tools.
The iLouds are “real world” reference monitors. I use all three when mixing. The more the merrier!
I thought so too. Thanks for the answer!
Nullll1111 you’re very welcome!
They are two very different animals. I'm assuming you're talking about the Avantone mix cubes. So it depends on what you are after. If you are looking for detail, especially in the high end , then the ilouds. However if you're looking to really explore your midrange then the Avantones. I think the ilouds will give you a better representation of what folks are hearing on a range of bluetooth speakers.
i dont like these speakers anymore :( they worked well but they just stopped working and the sound became worse and worse and then it just beeps when i turn it on. i turned them off and waited 10 minutes and turned it on and now it works but i can hear a high pitch sound that is driving me nuts :/. the speakers have worked very well before. if you know the causing of that problem could you help me fix it?
Oh no! That sucks!! The only thing I can say is to contact IK Multimedia. They have a great customer service department. Tell them that I sent you!
I just installed them, do you have quite significant his even if no source is plugged in? My are not silent, when turned on - doesn't matter if I play anything or not.
Volume 50% behind the speaker, hiss barely audible from 30cm away

They're mostly to get your levels right...
You'll need a good pair of headphones to get your low end right...
Been using white ones
How are they for making music?
these or 8010a?
Anyone can explain difference between "monitor" and "speaker" ?
...damn. Should have picked them up when Musician's Friend had them as stupid deal of the day for $199.
It’s just a buck...
Get em !!!!!!!!
Good advice depending on space. However, the new Kali lp6 are game changers for $300! I Just got these and I’m amazed. I also have a set of these iloud. I would advise someone springing $300 for studio monitors get the new Kali lp6! I agree the iloud have there place and make another great reference. But man the Kali lp6 bang for buck with room calibrated compensation, front ported work really well for a small space as well! You should check them out. No I don’t work for Kali but just another small home studio guy.
PLAP member too?
why is the background music SO LOUD dude?>
Also, is there a version 2 coming soon?
I mix with Presonus Eris E5's in a small untreated bedroom. I'm getting the iLouds to be used as a second pair.
You will NOT regret that decision at all! If you use the link here goo.gl/v1oJkk you can help my channel! It doesn't cost more.
I have a choice between ERIS E5 and iloud for mixing and mastering in my home Studio. Having experience on one and other monitors, what would you advise?
@soot kettle so , are they better than the Eris ?
@@ChrisKeyman I wouldn't say so.
@@sootkettle bass problem?
I just got the iloud 350 speakers. I'm not going to lie this dude ranting and raving is legit. These little things are ugly and weight nothing but they sound good.
