Your package contains:
• iLoud Precision 6 speaker (single)
• Power cord
• ARC microphone and clamp
• Isolation pods
• USB cable
• Safety manual and registration card
The iLoud Precision monitors are innovative DSP powered studio monitors that offer a wide array of unique
features, some of them are currently found only in products costing several times the price of these.
As on the iLoud MTM, the iLoud Precision also sports linear phase crossovers and a perfect time coherent
representation. This is a unique feature at this price level, only found on a few competitors at much higher-
price points. iLoud Precision series also sports a fully automated built-in room correction system based on the
acclaimed ARC System technology. The speaker will auto-calibrate in the room by simply connecting the ARC 3
microphone to the speakers, and pressing a button. This is yet another unique feature rarely found at this price
point.
Although the iLoud Precision monitors can have various voices and emulate other speakers - thanks to the
X-MONITOR technology - the main and most important setting is the native iLoud Precision voice. This is the
setting that delivers the flattest, extended, uncolored, most coherent dispersion in the room, and linear phase
performances.

vases, are placed on the speaker.
To completely disconnect the speaker from the AC mains, disconnect the power supply cord plug from
the AC receptacle. The mains plug of the power supply cord shall remain readily operable.
The speaker should be connected to a mains socket outlet with a protective earthing connection.
Check if the specified voltage matches the voltage of the power supply you use. If this is not the case do
not connect the loudspeakers to a power source! Please contact your local dealer or national distributor.
Never use flammable or combustible chemicals for cleaning audio components.
Never expose this speaker to extremely high or low temperatures. Never operate this product in an
explosive atmosphere.
Rear panel may become too hot to touch, leave enough space for proper ventilation.
Assure free airflow behind the speaker to maintain sufficient cooling by keeping a distance of at least 10
centimeters (4”) to the wall.
Always switch off your entire system before connecting or disconnecting any cables, or when cleaning
any components.
English

Always use fully checked cables. Defective cables can harm your speakers. They are a common source
of any kind of noise, hum, crackling etc.
Avoid touching the speaker membranes.
Please note that the diaphragms build up a magnetic field. Please keep magnetically sensitive items at
least 0.5m away from the speaker.
The equipment is capable of delivering sound pressure level considerably higher than 90dB, which may
cause permanent hearing damage.
Maintenance
Please switch the loudspeaker off before cleaning!
Please note that the diaphragms build up a magnetic field. Please keep magnetically sensitive items at
least 0.5m away from the speaker.
Please make sure that no liquids get inside the cabinet. Do not spray any fluids on the speaker. Do not
use a wet cloth for cleaning.
Do not use flammable or acidic chemicals for cleaning.
Do not touch the membranes of the loudspeakers.

Remote control for X-MONITOR voices selection and measurement process control
iLoud Precision macOS & Windows control software
The system can auto-calibrate its in-room frequency response thanks to the built-in ARC3 room correction
system and the measurement microphone connected to the speaker.
The response of the system can also be manually contoured by a set of push buttons on the back.
The system can also emulate the sound of various listening devices, including other studio monitors, TV sets,
portable devices, car stereos, and so on, thanks to the X-Monitor functionality.
The system can be remotely-controlled with the use of a small wired remote controller (sold separately)
equipped with four illuminated pushbutton switches. The functionality of these switches is factory assigned to
four X-Monitor “voices” and can be modified with the control software.
Both the ARC custom response and the X-Monitor target responses are stored and processed in the speaker as
IIR filters. This keeps at minimum the memory footprint of the responses and allows for a lightweight processing
requirements even for high resolution at low frequencies: this is especially important considering the system runs
at 96 kHz.
The system can also be controlled by free remote control software (for macOS and Windows) when the iLoud
Precision is connected via USB to a computer.

1. Installation and setup
We recommend using high quality audio cables to guarantee optimal performance. It is important to ensure that
the speakers stand firmly on a solid surface. Please note that the loudspeakers will need a few days to achieve
optimum sonic performance.
1. Make sure that the volume control of iLoud Precision is set to minimum. Make sure that the ON/OFF switch
on the rear panel is set to OFF
2. Adjust the vertical alignment of the speaker.
3. Connect the power cord.
4. Connect the audio input source to the input connector of iLoud Precision.
5. Switch ON the ON/OFF switch on the rear panel. The front LED will illuminate steady white after a short
delay.
6. Turn your audio playback system on (Mixing console, Audio interface, etc.). Adjust the volume control to a
lower position only if needed or only in case you require different levels between the speakers.
7. If needed, adjust the speaker response with the dedicated controls on the rear panel.
8. You can perform a speaker calibration to perfectly fit your iLoud Precision into your acoustic environment
(for more information refer to the dedicated paragraph in this manual).
Note: Before plugging in and turning on, remember the “last on, first off” rule of powered speakers. When
powering up your system, be sure that all the wires are connected, turn on your mixer/interface and any other
outboard gear, and then lastly turn on your iLoud Precision. When powering down, turn your iLoud Precision off
first and then your mixer/interface and outboard gear.
