IK Multimedia iLoud MTM MKII - High-resolution Compact Studio Monitor (Pair version)
Deeper. Louder. More accurate.
iLoud MTM MKII offers sonic perfection and volume levels previously unavailable in this class of reference monitors. Maintaining its iconic form, MTM MKII sports more efficient drivers and twice the processing power under the hood to turn any space into the ideal mixing and mastering setup.
Enjoy clear, neutral sound with the deep, controlled low end you'd expect from a speaker twice the size and linear phase response that rivals speakers twice the price. Its MTM design and precise time alignment make hours of fatigue-free listening possible while minimizing acoustic interactions, which is ideal for desktop use.
With advanced ARC auto-calibration, MTM MKII guarantees improved acoustic performance in any space in seconds. Connected to a computer, award-winning X-MONITOR software adds deep customization and breathtaking emulations of 20+ top studio monitors and other playback systems to A/B your mixes instantly for the perfect translation.
MTM MKII is like having an entire suite of precision-tuned monitoring tools.

Ultra-nearfield monitors for critical mixing
iLoud MTM MKII features a pair of 3.5″ high-performance woofers and one 1″ high-definition, back-chamber loaded tweeter with improved speaker drivers for superior volume and low end, plus improved clarity and articulation in the midrange. The Midrange-Tweeter-Midrange symmetrical design (D’Appolito configuration) provides ultra-precise, defined, point-source sound that can’t be achieved by traditional 2-way systems at close distances, meaning you'll mix better and with less ear fatigue.
Designed to work faster in more situations
In addition to improved speaker drivers, iLoud MTM MKII maintains tight vertical dispersion, minimizing the acoustic impact of desktop placement and ceiling and floor reflections to ensure the most accurate possible sound. MTM MKII offers a wider horizontal dispersion, creating a broader sweet spot for easier mixing than other MTM designs while maintaining the smoothest in-room response. Better power efficiency and extended max SPL mean iLoud MTM MKII also offers superior performance as an FOH mixing monitor, immersive speaker or other volume-dependent tasks.
Next-generation ARC room correction
iLoud MTM MKII adds a deeper, more comprehensive ARC auto-calibration derived from IK's flagship iLoud Precision series. Connected via USB to a Mac/PC with X-MONITOR, this 4-space measurement offers an unmatched definition and reliable translation in virtually any environment, so your mixes will always sound their best. A rapid, single-point measurement option can be done anywhere without a computer. Connect an ARC MEMS microphone (sold separately) to each speaker's mic input, and you'll be up and running in moments.
X-MONITOR integration
Also inherited from IK's flagship iLoud Precisions, iLoud MTM MKII now offers full X-MONITOR integration. This exclusive, award-winning software gives you complete control over every speaker element beyond the rear controls. Also, it allows for precise delay compensation between units for improved stereo imaging.
A single solution to A/B mixes
In addition, X-MONITOR allows you to switch between virtual monitoring voices, emulating the frequency and phase response of other top studio monitors and reference systems. With 4 buttons to quickly recall various voices, X-MONITOR with MTM MKII becomes an entire reference monitoring system in one elegant solution.
Stereo to immersive sound anywhere
We packed all this technological sophistication into a compact format that takes up 30% - 50% less space than comparable designs and weighs just 5 pounds. With tilting desktop mounts included, it’s the ideal desktop solution for home, project or mobile recording. There's also an included isolation pad for horizontal placement wherever needed.
Bottom mic stand mounts securely position iLoud MTM MKII behind a console for studio or FOH use or even on boom arms to create immersive setups anywhere quickly with no tools required. A custom mounting bracket is also available to easily install MTM MKII as overheads or wall speakers in any studio.
The ideal immersive audio solution
All these amazing features, plus a selectable 80 Hz low-frequency cutoff, also make iLoud MTM MKII the ideal monitor for today’s immersive studios. Learn how iLoud MTM MKII is ideal for use with ATMOS® and other multi-channel audio systems and save big with our 11-speaker bundle!
