IK Multimedia iLoud Sub

For over 30 years, IK Multimedia has been designing professional, affordable studio gear for musicians. After building a reputation for designing world-class virtual instruments and innovative mobile audio interfaces, IK introduced the brand’s first studio monitors in 2016 with the iLoud Micro Monitors.

Since then, the IK has released several monitors in the iLoud Series, including the iLoud MTM mkII, iLoud Precision 6 MKII, iLoud Precision 5 MKII, and iLoud Micro Monitor Pro; not to mention the brand’s groundbreaking ARC Room Correction System

Recently, IK expanded the iLoud Series to include the new iLoud Sub, an ultra-compact studio subwoofer that delivers controlled, accurate low-end performance in one of the smallest footprints on the market.

IK Multimedia iLoud Series Studio Monitors and Sub

Although the iLoud Sub is tailor-made to complement the iLoud Micro Monitor, iLoud MTM MKII, and iLoud Micro Monitor Pro, it's compatible with any studio monitors. Powered by ARC X’s advanced DSP, the iLoud Sub is the only subwoofer that automatically calibrates itself (and any connected monitors) to your room, regardless of brand.

Keep reading for a detailed breakdown of the iLoud Sub, how it delivers powerful yet accurate low-end, and how it can instantly optimize any monitoring system, or watch the video below for a quick overview of what this small yet mighty sub can do.

About IK Multimedia iLoud Sub

The iLoud Sub was built from the ground up to deliver big bass in a small package. Equipped with a 6.5" high-performance aluminum driver, dual 6.5" passive radiators, and a powerful 200 W amplifier, iLoud Sub delivers deep bass extension all the way down to 25 Hz. And because it only takes up a fraction of the space of traditional subwoofers, you can easily integrate it into any studio without having to rearrange your space.

In addition to being a solid subwoofer in its own right, the iLoud Sub’s integrated ARC X Room correction software is a real game changer. ARC’s advanced algorithm analyzes your acoustic environment and perfectly calibrates your monitors, ensuring your mixes translate perfectly to other systems.

The process is simple; just connect the included ARC Measurement Mic, run the ARC X software, and enjoy flat, balanced sound across the entire listening spectrum. The whole thing only takes a few minutes; it's truly one of the quickest and easiest ways to align any monitoring system, no matter what brand of speakers you’re using.
