AMAZONA.de recently published a thorough review of iLoud Precision 6 in a home studio environment. Using the built-in DSP control and integrated ARC3 measurement function, the easy process of setting up the monitors is discussed in detail, along with the benefits that iLoud Precisions will give to your mixing experience.
Pros:
- Sound
- Spatial resolution
- ARC3 measuring system integrated
- Supplied measurement microphone
- Optional remote control
- X-MONITOR application
Here are some of the reviewer's main observations translated from German. A link to the full review is below.
The very good sound, the great spatial resolution and the very good workmanship make the iLoud Precision 6 a first-class monitor for the studio.
"The new iLoud Precision 6 studio monitors are aimed at demanding home studio owners. But they also cut a fine figure for music lovers or in the home cinema.
The iLoud Precision 6 sound bigger than they actually are. Without DSP interventions, one has the feeling of midfield monitoring. There is a stable phantom center and a very good depth graduation. At the same time, spatial effects sound very well resolved and the highs are fine without being shrill and annoying.
"ARC3 counters the effects of my currently untreated room. The sound is considerably more balanced. The previously strong basses no longer cover other higher frequency ranges. Bass-heavy mixes of modern titles (e.g. by Billie Eilish) sound more balanced and the bass no longer booms.
If you then listen to music for a few minutes through the EQ-corrected speakers, you won't want to go back to the uncorrected sound. Test mixes created using this now also sound much more balanced on other loudspeakers.
Conclusion
"The new IK Multimedia iLoud Precision 6 studio monitors are a recommendation for anyone looking for a high-quality studio monitor that also comes with its own measurement system.
The ability to use X-MONITOR to emulate the characteristics of other famous monitors of the last few decades is another plus point and allows you to compare how your own mix could sound with just one pair of speakers. This can make decisions easier.
"The simple use of the measuring function, whether directly via the integrated ARC3 or via the X-MONITOR software, rounds off the already good overall impression."
