More speaker monitor companies are embracing the reality that its users are going to apply calibration tools to their carefully designed and tuned "linear responses," and eventually even load speaker responses that emulate other well-known references. Anticipating that fact, Adam Audio confirmed a partnership with Sonarworks on its all new A Series, the successor to the popular AX Series, which are now able to load those calibration files to embedded DSP.

IK Multimedia announced the release of X-Monitor, an advanced control application for iLoud Precision studio monitors that enables voicing selection and extended acoustic adjustments.
