Studio Monitor Sound - Everywhere You Go
Of all of the portable full-range speakers in the market, none of them were developed with musicians in mind - until now. Meet iLoud - the first portable speaker for musicians. IK Media has created a portable speaker that combines superior power with spectacular audio resolution and amazing low end. And with over 16 years of pro-audio engineering expertise plus IK's position as the leading developer of mobile music-creation apps and accessories, this design concept is in very good hands. For the first time, musicians can have a portable speaker that sounds like a studio monitor, and allows them to create high-quality compositions and accurate mixes on the go. So grab your iPhone or iPad and just rip out one brilliant tune after another with iLoud.

Big Sound, Small Footprint
As its name implies, iLoud is much louder than your average portable speaker. With a full 40 Watts of sonic power, iLoud sounds two to three times louder than comparable-sized speakers. It provides a richer, more powerful sound for any type of music style from rock to hip-hop to electronic music. It allows you to reproduce your music - in every possible mobile situation - as accurately as you would in the comfort of your studio. Years of pro-audio experience and innovative engineering solutions have contributed to our ability to produce a speaker this powerful in such a small enclosure. The sound quality and fidelity of iLoud will absolutely blow you away.

Loud and Clear
Together with its high-power output, iLoud also distinguishes itself for its hi-fi sound, which can't be obtained from your generic, off-the-shelf, fancy speaker. Thanks to its time-aligned 2-way system, precision custom neodymium loudspeakers, tuned bass-reflex, non-resonant enclosure and DSP processing, iLoud offers an ultra-accurate frequency response, exceptional low-end and stereo imaging that can't be found in any other portable speakers in its category. With iLoud you can be confident that any type of music will be reproduced with the accuracy normally found only on high grade studio monitors. Even highly demanding sound textures like you find in classical music, jazz or acoustic, will come to life with a precision and musicality that you've never heard before on a speaker of this size.

Plug and Play
Here's where it gets interesting. Grab your guitar and plug it into iLoud, plug in your mobile device, launch your favorite mobile app like AmpliTube or VocaLive and start jamming and recording. iLoud features a built-in iRig circuit for directly connecting a guitar or a dynamic microphone, and allowing you to take advantage of the real time sound processing of your favorite mobile apps.

Ultra Portability
Not only does iLoud offer the characteristics typical of a high-end system, but it packs them in an ultra-small enclosure that can be easily carried anywhere in a laptop bag or a backpack. It has the overall dimensions of an iPad and is only 6 cm (2.3") deep, and features a tilted shape for optimal listening on a desktop. Thanks to its long-lasting battery, iLoud is the ideal speaker to be carried around by mobile musicians, whether they're composing, recording, or they simply want to listen to high-quality music anytime and everywhere.

Untether Your Life with Wireless Purity
iLoud is not only perfect for monitoring your creations, but you can stream audio to it via Bluetooth, creating a perfect wireless portable speaker system. It gives you the convenience of a cableless connection, together with the performance of a hi-fi speaker, and offers a superior listening experience at home, with your friends, and on the go.

Great speaker!

I use mine as a portable speaker for general music playing, and also as a monitor/portable pa for acoustic guitar. This thing is loud. Sound great. Have had no issues with bluetooth. No rattles. Just a great sounding speaker that is very portable. There is quite a bit more bass than you would expect. While it won't rattle windows, it is some of the best bass of smaller speakers I have heard. Very clean, not muddy. The built in IRig is the downside. Very noisy. For just capturing ideas and general playing, it works. But for portable studio work, it is unacceptable. I bought it expecting this, and will use an apogee interface to solve that problem. I wanted this just for the speaker itself. The other con is that there is no headphone out. To use the IRig portion, you have to use the headphone plug of your ipad/iphone. I travel quite a bit and sometimes want to play out loud, and sometimes have to play quietly(late night hotel room). Having an option for headphones would make it 5 stars. Seems silly that it isn't there. All in all, great purchase. Will be used a lot. And will set the standard for future purchases.

Should Have been better

I bought this expecting some great sound and not even close. The first thing that I notice is that the unit "Rattles" when you turn up the volume and I do not mean all the way up either-just half way. Checked all the bass adjustments and none of those are turned all the way up either. Tried it with using bluetooth and cable direct-still rattles. What a BIG let down for me. As I have tried many other small audio players of this size and none of them seem to rattle like this one dose. Got any ideas IK that I might try to prevent the rattle? Defective unit maybe? RNR

    I grew up in a family of musicians. I went to gigs with my dad and he always had good stereo gear at home. This relatively small stereo Bluetooth speaker has that special magic sound for me that does one thing great, and that's sound good, and I mean REALLY good. I literally got home from work tonight, plugged it in, turned on a few songs from my favorite playlist and got goosebumps. It's easy to forget what music is supposed to sound like in a world of ear buds, cheap Bluetooth speakers and boomy jobsite radios/battery chargers, but this little black box brought it all back into focus for me. Bass is sharp but not booming, mids are clear, and highs are nicely balanced with the rest. At halfway or louder, it reminds me of the Yamaha NS-10Ms I grew up listening to back in the 1980s. I definitely recommend this speaker.

  • I would by this again.

    Bought this as a display model for a great discount and couldn't be happier. There's no way anybody could expect to get more decibels and better quality sound out of something this size with this kind of portability and price. With Korg gadget on my iPad and my and irig and irig pre, my dream of a truly portable songwriting rig is a reality. The battery life is amazing as well. Thanks IK !

    The iLoud portable speakers battery would not recharge. I can get the speakers to work only if i connect it to wired power outlet. After few months the so called portable speaker is no longer portable The annoying part is there is no procedure to replace the battery even if i am ready to pay for it. I do not recommend this product to anyone and it is utter waste of money and very disappointed with the quality of the product
