The cable that connects the left to the right speaker is a proprietary 4 pin din plug, and the wire thickness is completely overkill. I might not master the new Aphex Twin album on them, but for my little iPad music hobby, they’re great.

Too bad we don't have a measurement of the built in EQ, would have been interested to see what it does. Fun part of the sales pitch is a lower crossover point is usually desirable because you can get a wider dispersion out of a dome tweeter than you can a cone woofer. All that said, If you need something super small that puts out clean flat sound to 50Hz at low listening levels, the iLoud Micro Monitor is your speaker.iLoud might offer the big sound and fidelity of a high-end system but its small enclosure ensures that it can be easily carried anywhere in a laptop bag or backpack.

The bass is very good, not over done, even though I have the speakers only a foot away from the rear wall. I suspect the measurement showed room modes but it was too aggressive in cutting them back seeing how with a small speaker some amount of room reinforcement should be left in there. It provides a richer, more powerful sound for any type of music style from rock to hip-hop to electronic music. Even then, there are already enough variables that can ruin a comparison in live settings, such as speaker placement, placement of yourself, quality of the sound source, D/A quality, the room, volume levels matching between sets, volume levels matching between speakers within the same speaker set, etc.

And IK Multimedia's with over 16 years of pro-audio engineering expertise — plus our position as the leading developer of mobile music-creation apps and accessories — we know what we’re doing.
