With the explosion of spatial audio, studios of all sizes need to implement multichannel monitoring, from 5.1 surround to 7.1.4 and beyond. With this bundle, IK Multimedia is enabling more users to meet the rising demand for immersive formats and Dolby Atmos mixing. In addition to a recent firmware update adding a selectable 80Hz low-cut filter, iLoud MTM studio monitors are now included in the Dolby Audio Room Design Tool to ease in setting up immersive audio configurations to Dolby's technical specifications.
The Dolby Audio Room Design Tool is an interactive Microsoft Excel tool which allows the user to input speaker layout dimensions, speaker locations, and speaker and amplifier details to help design and model a Dolby Atmos Home Entertainment configuration to Dolby recommendations. iLoud MTM's inclusion makes it easier than ever to set up a compact system that's fully compliant with Dolby's technical guidelines for studio, home setup or home theater system.

The new iLoud MTM Immersive Bundle is available now with 11 speakers, and offers incredible performance at an affordable price point, allowing anyone to dive into producing for immersive audio. With their compact size, iLoud MTMs are easy to mount or can be quickly installed on any standard microphone stand for use in environments where permanent mounting isn't an option.
Using the included MEMS measurement microphone, the iLoud MTM's built-in ARC self-calibration system adjusts in seconds, correcting each one's output to ensure the most precise and balanced sound from every position, including ceiling-mounting. The result is a true phase-coherent response across the useful frequency spectrum for unbelievably natural sound.
IK Multimedia's iLoud MTM monitors are ideal for multichannel installations being linear phase and having a point-source acoustic performance to be accurate at any distance. This minimizes the inaccuracies that conventional speakers can introduce in the imaging, which is critical for multichannel and immersive setups. The MTM's midwoofer-tweeter-midwoofer design boasts dramatically more controlled dispersion than typical monitor designs. This minimizes the speakers' interaction with room acoustics (and each other), making them ideal for rooms not custom-tuned for surround audio.
Just as importantly, iLoud MTM monitors make setting up a multichannel rig easy. At 30 to 50% smaller and lighter than comparable studio monitors, the monitors are simpler to mount on any size room - immersive audio installations require robust mounting where the monitors are not likely to move or shake, as it happens frequently with heavy monitors suspended on improvised mounting rigs. In addition, the iLoud MTM's threaded bottom allows them to be mounted on a standard microphone stand or boom stand to best suit the listening environment or when space doesn't permit ceiling mounting.
The iLoud MTM Immersive Bundle 11 is available now from the IK Multimedia online store and from IK authorized dealers worldwide for USD/EUR $/€3999.99. The package includes 11 x iLoud MTM monitors, 1 x ARC MEMS measurement microphone. Studios need to add their own subwoofer(s).
