iLoud Precision 5 MKII

A new level of perfection

The new iLoud Precision MKII significantly upgrades nearfield monitoring while preserving its predecessor's groundbreaking performance. It integrates state-of-the-art DSP with a superior electro-acoustic system, the culmination of IK’s over 25 years of expertise in digital signal processing and loudspeaker design.

The MKII boasts a wholly redesigned tweeter for even greater clarity and precision. It also features a more robust cabinet, mounting points for easy wall or ceiling installation, and a refreshed aesthetic with a front-facing LED showcasing the new IK logo. In addition, the MKII now offers complete control through IK’s advanced ARC X software, enabling auto-calibration and providing an intuitive interface for customization in any studio environment.

Living up to its name

• Linear phase and time coherence: Delivers ultra-precise time alignment and extended low end for a new level of detail and accuracy.
• Ultra-flat response: +/-1 dB from 46 Hz to 30 kHz with low-frequency extension down to 39 Hz, ensuring transparent monitoring and reliable translation.
• Built-in room correction: Integrated ARC™ System calibration automatically adjusts to any environment with the included mic.
• ARC X reference modeling: Emulates the frequency and phase response of top studio monitors and reference systems.
• Flexible LF/HF controls: Switchable LF extension (Full/35/50/65/80 Hz) for immersive Atmos and multichannel setups.
