In this video (English captions), Italian sound engineer Massimo Barbieri explains why iLoud Micro Monitors are an essential tool in his studio arsenal. When Massimo works on a mix that needs to sound great on all systems and that will be heard by millions of viewers, there is no room for mistakes.
Here are some of his comments:
"From now on, for any production, iLoud Micro Monitor will definitely be part of my set-up".
"For a long time I had been looking for compact reference speakers to work alongside near-fields, and IK Multimedia has provided me with an excellent solution"
"iLoud Micro Monitors are exceptional for quality and versatility"
"They have crazy volume and "punch" and even sensational frequency response for this type of small speaker, going all the way down to 55 Hz."
"The easy portability in their bag allows me to bring them home, where maybe I finish the work I started here in the studio, and I hear almost the same sound when I put them on the sides of the screen of the laptop."
