Description
iLoud Sub redefines what a studio subwoofer can be, delivering deep, accurate, and impeccably controlled low-end performance in the smallest footprint on the market, while also significantly enhancing the sound of your satellite speakers.
iLoud Sub is the only subwoofer that automatically calibrates itself and any connected monitors to your room, regardless of brand, providing balanced, accurate, and reliable sound across the entire audio spectrum, from bottom to top.
Big bass. Smallest footprint. Zero compromise.
iLoud Sub is engineered to provide full-range clarity and depth while maintaining perfect balance within your space.
Occupying only a fraction of the size of traditional studio subwoofers, it integrates naturally into any workspace, delivering powerful low-end extension down to 25 Hz with tight, accurate, and musical response you can rely on in every mix.
ARC X: The key to better mixes
iLoud Sub features ARC's advanced algorithm that seamlessly analyzes your acoustic environment and perfectly calibrates your monitors. Regardless of the make and model of the left and right speakers, ARC X software ensures they sound flat, balanced and free of any acoustic interference, so your mixes translate flawlessly, from bottom to top.
The smartest alignment ever
Modern music requires absolute precision in the low end. iLoud Sub premieres ARC X's newest feature: automatic subwoofer setup. ARC X also accurately calibrates and time-aligns iLoud Sub, expanding the frequency range of any monitoring system to uncover hidden depth and clarity without disrupting the balance of your full setup.
The ideal upgrade to any small studio
iLoud Sub isn't just about adding low end - it's about elevating your entire monitoring system to a whole new level.
You'll work faster, make bolder creative choices, and experience your music with the full-range depth and emotional impact that conventional monitors simply can't deliver on their own.

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty
A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.
Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.
How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
- Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
- Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
- No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
- Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
- Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
- Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
- Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
- Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
- Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.
Purchasing additional years of coverage
Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.
If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:
- NEW products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
- USED products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
- GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
- BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
