    IK Multimedia iLoud MTM Review (active monitor)

    What you describe does not apply to the situation where I isolate 100-250hz with HP and LP filters. In addition, this frequency region is lowered on the KRK's and still the changes are more audible than on the MTM's.

    IK Multimedia iLoud MTM Review (active monitor)

    Sorry, I can't do that until the track is released. The bassline is a wav-file now and I don't have the original saved. I could try to mimic the procedure, but I don't have the MTM's any longer so I would not know if the result would be the same.

    IK Multimedia iLoud MTM Review (active monitor)

    It is my experience that if two sounds or instruments are overlapping in frequency range (and stereo placement), there are variations in how good different speakers handle it. Especially in lower frequencies in electronic dance music. maybe one issue is that the woofer needs to retract and...

    IK Multimedia iLoud MTM Review (active monitor)

    I hear you and I'm aware of this feature but it would not fix the issues I had with the MTM's. I isolated the frequency area between 100-250 Hz with lp and hp on the bassline to analyze the subtile harmonic distortion and phase invertion to specific frequencies (among other things) that the...

    But if your speaker is built out of low quality parts it will effect the sound coming out of it. It was a metaphor.

    IK Multimedia iLoud MTM Review (active monitor)

    To me, comparing speakers just by looking at the frequency response is like comparing two tv screens just by just looking at the color fidelity, not taking in consideration that one screen is HD ready and the other is 8k. To my ears the MTM's sounds like a Multimedia speaker with a really...

    IK Multimedia iLoud MTM Review (active monitor)

    No, but I know my mixing environment. All these speakers are "flat" out of the box and I evaluate them at really low levels to have minimum impact from the surrounding. On the MTM's I could barely hear the changes even with my ear pressed against the speaker (kind of wearing them like...

    IK Multimedia iLoud MTM Review (active monitor)

    I made subtile changes to the sound of the bassline on a track with Waves vitamin and Denise XL vst's, mostly affecting the region below 250hz. On the MTM's I could bearly hear the difference turning the vst's on and off - the MTM's sounded quite muffled. Even on my KRK G4 5's the difference was...

    IK Multimedia iLoud MTM Review (active monitor)

    I just bought a pair of Genelec 8010a. The difference in terms of detail compared to the MTM's is astonishing. The 8010's whipe the floor with my KRK's in that regard as well.

    IK Multimedia iLoud MTM Review (active monitor)

    It is not about flatness. You can eq a set of logitech speakers to be flat. They will still lack in detail. I could not hear the changes with my ear 5cm from the speaker on low volume. The environment will have minimal impact in that context. I heard the changes on the KRK's. From listening...

    IK Multimedia iLoud MTM Review (active monitor)

    Ok, can't recall I asked you to or asked if you do but thank you for the clarification. I never said that I don't use eq, just that I don't when comparing speakers that are supposed to be "flat" with factory presets.

    IK Multimedia iLoud MTM Review (active monitor)

    This was my experience as well. The MTM's was very forgiving when listening to professionaly mastered tracks. but lacked the ability to reproduce a detailed sound image when monitoring individual (or just a few) instruments/sounds/stems etc. Therefore I would not recommend them for producing or...

    IK Multimedia iLoud MTM Review (active monitor)

    If you know your mixing environment your mixes will sound better there than if you mix in an anechoic chamber, if you are not used to those conditions. And you can't eq a speaker to sound like it's in another space than it currently is. Knowing your mixing environment is key. No you don't get...

    IK Multimedia iLoud MTM Review (active monitor)

    They are both near field monitors with their flattest frequency response being out of the box with factory settings and both follow the laws of physics, so that is the condition I will evaluate them in. If I hear lack of detail in a specific frequency range at levels so low reflections aren't an...

    IK Multimedia iLoud MTM Review (active monitor)

    Well I know my mixing environment and I know the individual tracks I'm mixing. Eq can't change every attribute of a speaker and frequency response is only one aspect. Otherwise I would buy some logitechs, eq them to sound like genelecs and call them genetech. To my ears (wich are my most...

    IK Multimedia iLoud MTM Review (active monitor)

    Factory settings on both KRK and Iloud. Levels matched. Ear level on stands. Only one speaker side by side when testning bass since kick and bass allways are in mono in my mixes and it minimizes reflections when comparing. Aprox 1 meter from tweeter on moderate volume, but also as far away as...

    IK Multimedia iLoud MTM Review (active monitor)

    I had plans to "upgrade" from my KRK Rokit 5 G4 and save space om my desk at the same time so I ordered the Iloud MTM's. I a/b'd the monitors on a track I'm working on where I made subtile changes to the sound of the bassline with Waves vitamin and Denise XL vst's, mostly affecting the region...

    KRK ROKIT 5 Gen 4 Review (Studio Monitor)

    I just realised how good these are for the price. I had plans to "upgrade" and save space om my desk at the same time so I ordered the Iloud MTM's. I a/b'd the monitors on a track I'm working on where I made subtile changes to the sound of the bassline with Waves vitamin and Denise XL vst's...

    What headphones would you like Amir to measure next?

    Mackie MC-250 would be interesting, being a budget headphone (≈$100) and fairly "neutral" sounding according to Sonarworks measurements.
