THE BIGGEST LITTLE THING YOU CAN BUY

[@ericallenraymond]

Important to note that these monitors have 2.44 ms latency ... which is 100% fine by itself. Other monitors have similar latency (some better and some worse) and kudos to IK for publishing their specs. If you have additional latency from other digital devices (interface, computer, modeler, digital pedals, wireless) it can add up and be a problem for tracking (e.g., playing live guitar) around 10-12 ms. Not a problem for mixing. Lots of magic in today's monitors are performed by DSP and that comes with latency.

[@Nirabulator]

I appreciate you even more because of your sweet kitties! I’m saving up for a pair of these. Speakers. I already have cats. And what an impressive place you have there!

[@waynedoherty7758]

These look great. I have a tiny desk but a lot of floor space, considering these on the desk versus a fender fr12 on the floor for practice with ToneX.

[@omeee]

with a calibrated mic and REW, which is open source and easy to use, you can have all the Software stuff with any monitors. I meassure not only monitors with that, I also do it with all my hifi setups in the house.

[@v8superspecial]

for sure they don't have toy price..

[@ctpmark]

great video, and the intro song is killer!!

[@darrenvanfrankensteinofficial]

Thanks for doing the demo and suggesting these to me. Going to grab some soon!

[@dantahoua]

Using the ear microphone is a great idea! Love it! Great review!

[@pitaorj]

That was really interesting... I might buy a pair to complement my Adams. I really love the calibration system and “famous monitor emulation” that is really kick ass.

Muss die software, wie sonarworks, dann permanent laufen oder kann man die korrekturkurve auf den speakern speichern und ohne die software nutzen ?

[@marcinpierechod3838]

..if you're on your mobile device on the toilet... you got me there Henning 😅

[@stormyandcold]

To my ears, listening on ATH-M50X, the ARC software seems to remove the effects of the room from the sound coming from the speakers. Very useful.

[@PaparazzbI]

I am curious how these compare to a pair of Neumann KH 80 DSP.

[@SirenaWF1]

These speakers are so good! I have a pair and I can do a mix on them, go to another studio with considerably more expensive monitors, and not really hear a huge difference, other than low end because the others have 6" drivers. It's just physics.

[@shawnhockey4841]

That’s sweet how you teach the room to the speakers 🔊 simply amazing technology I have KRK ROCKIT 5 they were the best for the buck at GC AT THAT TIME I WAS SHOPPING GREAT VIDEO HP 🤘🎸

Love your stuff. I'd love to see some of your opinions on the big MTMs. I have a pair and love them!

Link to the Moana cover?

[@PaulLembo]

Yes please! Most cover versions are dudes singing which is no bueno.

[@RockGuitarVibes]

I really like the big ones - however, one of them had an issue and was replaced. The replacement had the same issue and was repleaced again. Next it worked 3-4 month and then the same issue again. So reliability could be improved - it was some kind of a reboot/repowering issue after being used for 4 around hours. For guitar playing I really prefer them over my Adam's and Neumanns.

[@dash4786]

So can I use these to play guitar through? using it with the neural space?

[@EytschPi42]

yes

[@Traumglanz]

Disney metal, nice choice! Speakers are a bit expensive for my taste. Especially for something from IK Multimedia. But I am sure they are good when you say so, doubt they are even just twice as good as the old mark ones. ;-)

[@timothybailey2119]

I work for a living, $500 a pair is simply too rich for me...

[@edenekendahl1791]

Is it true that IK Multimedia doesn't help with replacing parts if their speakers break?

[@EytschPi42]

not in my experience

[@rockoutmichigan]

Speaker tech has come a long way. Size matters, but not as much as it used to. Just look at Phil Jones' bass amps. They look silly to my old school bass guy eyes with all those tiny speakers, but the sound is overwhelmingly perfect.

[@JorisGriffioen]

These look really cool, the added software is definitely a huge boost in value. I'd love to also get your perspective on the Micro version of these. I'm wondering whether they're worth the money and hassle for recording at random spots vs. headphones.

I like the V1's! Would love to try the V2's!

[@tiagoramalhais5493]

What is the song?

[@deathmaybeyoursantaclaus]

Sounds like a cover of a song from Moana. "How far I'll go" Don't know about the artist

[@zerberk]

Please please pleasee give your thoughts on the new small Kali Audio speakers…. i really wanna hear ur thoughts on them, same playing field as these ik speakers

I'm not sure it convinced me; I'm not going to replace my good old and brand new JBL Party Box Ultimate, which I plug my guitar into, with this pair of speakers.

[@RaxFx]

what brand are those fader thingies?

The Eq section on the back?

@@PooNinja the one below the monitor, in Studio A, looks like a DAW fader controller

[@zloboslav_]

Do you know how do they compare to the smaller and cheaper iLoud micro monitors model? I mean how would they compare if you don't use the software - I understand the software benefits and cost and I'm more asking about a hardware-only sound comparison. Also didn't you have the expensive Genelec - what happened to them? Did the iLouds replace them too and why? Thank you, I loved the video :)

[@EytschPi42]

Never tried them

[@kesamek8537]

99% of people listen to music on 'smart speakers' that aren't even stereo, and garbage earphones they got duped into thinking of as hi-fi. Sound quality doesn't matter any more. Facts.

[@myekuntz]

i didnt know the name "42 studios " really meant you have "42 studios " holy wow

[@EytschPi42]

Haha

[@birdsiview6845]

You will think you have a subwoofer on when using those speakers, they are great!

[@broncoxy]

That's what I'm saying for years! Just because it's tiny, does not mean that it's useless!

[@Traumglanz]

That's not what she said.

Prog rock Moana just changed my life

[@RulgertGhostalker]

800 USD ??? that's not a " little thing " that's a bank account smashing mega move. I need new ear cups, and a new cable, for my 9 year old sennheiser headphones. ( my only studio monitoring, and my only play back monitors... may be I should make some monitors ) but I can't get new ear cups for my very expensive, yet " obsolete " studio monitor quality headphones....so I will probably rig something up there instead.

[@PooNinja]

Yt ate my comment😢 “Insert positive snarky sentiment here”

Whow! Wait! What??? You still have 3" floppy disks? What do you use them for? How do you still even own a compatible PC with a 3" floppy drive?

[@bulletfaceLP]

I had the MKI version of these. Fantastixc speakers for the size and also money. Abolutely worth the price. BUT the support from ik is shit. Especiall should something break outside of the warranty time frame you are fucked. Had it happen to me and the only answer i got from ik was, that i could buy a new one. No repair or replacement parts were offered. That for me is a Dealbreaker. So in conclusion: Great speakers, shitty Support out of warranty.

[@Andreas_Straub]

The demo song you were using was so heavily overproduced and compressed that there is no way to judge speakers with that noise .... 😕

tiny and ugly ... why on earth these companies are not making any effort on the design ? because they sell no matter what ? yep, maybe ... but not to me, meaning they lose some potential clients ... and yes because of that silly reason, my tiny studio is not a dancing room ... I love design ... at the same level than I love music, technology (I am an IT engineer) and guitar ...
