X-MONITORcontrols Precision’s ability to emulate the frequency and phase response of the most famous studio monitors on the market, working in tandem with the ARC settings for the best possible sound in any listening environment. This is ideal for testing a mix on different reference systems quickly, without ever leaving the sweet spot and ARC’s calibration.

The speaker emulations are stored inside the Precision’s firmware and the one last used is recalled the next time the speakers are turned on. Using X-MONITOR, or the optional remote control, makes it incredibly easy to audition and load the over 20 iconic speaker emulations or return iLoud Precision to its own original, superior sound.

May seem like a simple purchase, but honestly is life changing. Able to get gear to set so much quicker, able to hold so much gear and make me more efficient. 10/10 recommend.
Subsequent to my previous review (9th Dec 2023), I was provided with replacement units having an updated design that solved the issue of not being able to full width rack equipment in the top or bottom rack positions. As stated in my initial review, these look really good and very easy to assemble. It should be noted that there is a 1cm gap between top/bottom panels and any equipment mounted in the racks which, whilst allowing air flow into the rack for cooling, some people may not desire.
I purchased a pair of isoacoustics stand from koala 🐨 audio and found their pricing very good indeed and postage was quicker than a koala 🐨 going up a tree so I would highly recommend koala 🐨 audio with 5 stars 🌟 after all how much can a koala 🐨 bear just kidding hope you like my feedback Regards Iain Morrison
