Product Rating Product Review The sound from this speaker is great. I had to get a USB isolator to keep some high frequency hiss out, but that could be from other components, as it was only present when the USB (from my audio I/O) was connected.

Product Review These are my 1st professional studio monitors and they sound fantastic! My basis for comparison are desktop PC speakers (THX certified) and PA speakers. These MTM's sound significantly better and offer loud concise audio that doesn't give me ear fatigue after extended listening. I haven't calibrated them yet but I am content with the sound out of the box. Highly recommended for someone with limited desk space.

Product Review All the reviews I watched on Youtube were right...these are the best studio monitors on the market. I listen to songs I've heard a hundred times and through these speakers, I hear something new in the mix. Easy set up and fair price. You won't regret this purchase.

Product Review This monitor has surprised me every time I use it. I used to have all the big name brands. Industry standards. But none compare to the ease of use that this unit provides. The ARC calibration is game changing. I use this monitor in several different locations. And it faithfully reproduces no matter where I am. It is the perfect mobile monitor. Or stationary desk monitor. I would highly recommend to anyone who is tired of trying to “tune their room”. This unit gets the job done well!

Product Review These speakers are great. Perfect size for desktop and they are very true to source. I have a bunch of studio monitors and I think these are likely best in class for size/price.

Product Review I purchased the IK MTMs to add to my studio as my HS 8s weren’t really hitting the highs I was looking for In my space. I can now mix and monitor better being able to hear the detail clearly. I recommend these speakers for anyone on the fence!

Product Review I still need to calibrate, figure out all the tricks. But from my tinkering, the sound is clear and saturated at all points. High, mid, low, normally with the little speakers the lows are cut, not the case with these. Use it to level, kick on other speakers. Everything seems to sit right. Also comes with some nice software.

Product Review I work out of a small studio and these speakers are amazing for the acoustics in my studio space. The arc adjustments work perfectly and adjust perfectly according to my studio space. They put out a great amount of sound especially since I have them connected to my speaker amplifier. Definitely a 5 star speaker.

Product Review I've been a fan of IkMultimedia's ARC plugin and always hoped there would be a monitor that would have the same accurate listening space and room correction with and without a DAW. So no matter what I am listening to it will be accurate, enjoyable, and musical. That's what you get with the iLoud MTM monitors. I like them so much I plan to buy a second pair for my home studio.

Product Review Simply open the box and you'll know you're holding something special. The construction is great and the stands are actually really nice! But the real joy comes when your power them up!! first being able to tune them to your desired sound is on a whole new level. But the sound quality is absolutely incredible. I had no idea these would put out an amazing quality sound in addition to so much power. I use these for production in my home studio and they will rival some of the more well-known brands hands down. Very Dope!!!

Product Review After review, I decided to get a pair of the IK Multimedia iLoud MTMs. After unboxing, setting up and calibrating, I was very happy with my choice. Being able to tune the speakers to the room was the key selling point for me. I was a bit pessimistic at first but I am a believer now - amazing technology! In addition, the speakers a very well balanced with clean highs and mids and a surprisingly punchy low end. I will happily be using these for a very long time to come.

Product Review Excellent sound, nice flat frequency response for a monitor in this price range, excellent value PLUS a small footprint and an all-white, minimalist appearance earned these monitors a place in the office/studio space that I share with my wife. Love these monitors! (And my wife.)

Product Review The calibration software here is your best friend so be sure to use it! It opens up the speakers to give truer results. If you are pushed for space and cash, these can well be your answer.

Product Review Can't recommend these enough! They sound fantastic. Being able to tune to your room right from the speaker is game-changing. Especially for a smaller room. These sound bigger than they are. And the bass response is perfect. My mixes have benefited from these speakers greatly!

Product Review These monitors really surprised me with how well they sound and how easy they are to setup. It has really improved my mixes, I don't have to do 10 mixdowns just to have the vocals sit nice. there is actually a good amount of bass out of these too.

Product Review I purchased a pair of the MTMs for my daughter's home studio. I had searched the web for a small pair of studio monitors that were accurate and had more of a bass extension than most small home studio monitors. Most youtube reviews were raving about the MTMs so i decided to get them. I was surprised to see the mounts to set them up horizontally and vertically and the calibration mics that came with them. In use they are extremely even (before calibration but most certainly after calibration), the low end extension is accurate down to 40 Hz. One complaint: their are not crazily loud. For prepoduction sessions you can't crank them as loud as bigger speakers. Max SPL (peak) is rated at 102dB which is not loud when you want to get a good vibe while working on a production. However their strength is in their accuracy: when mixing at 80 - 85 dB you get the full sonic picture; Depth, Clarity, midrange accuracy, all the components are there for great mixing. I own a pair of Adam A7x and Barefoot Footprint01 and i can tell you that those little MTMs are the best in their league and the results they give stand up to mixes done on much more expensive sets of monitors. For the price/quality/value they are AMAZING!!!

Product Review After doing some research on theses speakers I am really satisfied with my purchase these speakers are a perfect sound for a small beginner studio that packs a big sound. It really brings the sound of all instruments and the bass is as good as most of the big name big speakers. If your looking for speakers that are not too big but sounds great then these are the speakers for you. AMS makes it affordable for you. You won’t be disappointed.

Product Review I desperately "needed" to find better clearer sounding monitor speakers for my new Roland RD-2000 keyboard. I had already invested $700 in just one powered modular column loudspeaker which never could produce the subtle clear keyboard sounds without sounding tin mid-high canish with blurred out bass. I so wanted speakers that produced live sound closest to what I was hearing through my high-end headphones. After setting these up and playing my keyboard through them, I couldn't believe I was hearing such crystal clear accurately well produced sound out of this small (2) speaker set! Also the way you can just auto adjust via the included mike to pinpoint the sound where it's (L-R) heard best is just amazing! So very happy I bought this set!

Product Review These monitors are very accurate in their frequency response. They don’t take up a lot of space and they have very good volume. The low spectrum on these are amazing which make great low end mixing. I have a high ceiling room and it was hard hearing accurately through other monitors in this setting. I’m definitely able to hear better to produce better mixes.

Product Review High quality, accurate, compact, surprisingly low lows, easy setup and calibration. I strongly considered the HS8s, but they are way too big for my setup. The MTMs are like half the size with the same sound (IMO). Great design/engineering. Would definitely recommend!

Product Review Unless you're a very wealthy person, these are the best monitors, in my opinion, that any guitarist would ever want or need. I definitely DON'T mean that they're cheap at all; certainly not in quality, sound, and overall playability. They are an absolutely remarkable product that are professionally pristine in every aspect of what you want in studio monitors. I would recommend these to anyone, and the AMS 0% interest payment plan cannot be topped!!

Product Review I never realized how helpful Calibration was. I dislike that I cant get them in 8 inch...lol Had them less than a week. Exceeded my expectations. Details were spot on. Accurate, Flat, and they translate well to my Nuemann NDH20 headphones. I used them to calibrate my Kali Audio speakers to my room also. These are exactly what I hoped they would be. The only monitors I can honestly compare them to are the Genelec 8331. Yep I said it. If you are a serious engineer that grew up on NS10 in a treated room, these are for you. If you can mix on everything including a 4 track tape machine, these are for you. If you have ever mixed on any monitor and made it work over a long period of time, these are for you. If your tired of burning your ears out trying to figure it out, these are for you. If you are a fan of SSL, Neve, API, Genelec, Hedd Type 20, Kali audio, Tube tech and anything analogue, these are for you. If you believe you only need plug ins and new music is the best thing ever made,,,,well these might not be for you...because they snitch on garbage music... like really bad...and you wont like that if you think modern music is the best quality thru earbuds...Get ya game up homie. These are for Pros...dont let the negative reviews on gearslutz fool ya. Make music.
