THE VERDICT

IK Multimedia’s powered monitor is a great desktop audio option, and it also delivers sufficient output for far-field listening in small-size rooms.

With few of us straying far from home these days, or from our computer with its constant stream of information, entertainment, hope, and fear, desktop audio is having a moment.

For this reason, many are discovering a need for some- thing better than the crappy 2.1-channel “computer speaker” systems we bought back in the early ‘aughts. What we need is an ultra-compact active monitor—like IK Multimedia’s iLoud MTM.
