Click on an image to enlarge
Alesis M1 Active mk2 Active studio monitors are at the cheapest price, here at whybuynew.co.uk with amazing bass performance and true vocals makes this pair of speakers one of our favourites and this price range and above. Alesis have not skimped on anything with this legendary pair of M1 Active mk2 with not only the very best sound quality, but build quality also. It's no wonder that top studio's and dj's have used this model of speakers for the last ten years when they never let you down and sound truly amazing. The alesis M1 Active mk2 speakers are a little larger than most small 'bookshelf' size models but that is mainly due to the cabinet design with the two port reflex bass ports on the front, and boy, do they make a difference. When you hear these, if you were not aware of the size, you would think that they were huge speakers! Overall, a massive thumps-up from all of us at whybuynew.co.uk as we think that the M1 Active mk2's are pretty much....the best!
Here are the some of the benefits of buying this great pair of monitors!
Custom Drivers Designed For Active Monitoring
- The M1 Active mk2's woofer and tweeter were specifically designed for the most linear, low distortion response in powered monitoring applications. Its 6.5" woofer cone is formulated from non-woven carbon fiber. It's a material that has been used for the skins of combat aircraft wings, since it offers high tensile strength and low weight. In fact, carbon fiber is 25% lighter than polypropylene (the most common driver material) and hence provides quicker transient response in the low frequency range for superb bass response as well as a vast improvement in the detail of critical upper-mid frequencies. The M1 Active's 1" tweeter dome is made of pure silk, which offers a natural response that aids in preventing ear fatigue during long mix sessions. It also features an internal pole piece mounted phasing plug and is ferrofluid cooled to maintain the best balance of transient response to power handling.
Active Bi-Amplifiers and Electronic Crossovers
- The Alesis M1 Active mk2 has two audiophile-quality amplifiers-a 75 watt woofer amp and a 25 watt tweeter amp-were developed for the M1 Active, along with 4th order high- and low-pass electronic crossover filters. The crossover point was carefully chosen at a low 2 kHz, and produces an extremely wide dispersion zone as well as low midrange coloration. Also, the special time alignment circuitry that's been added to the tweeter section of this crossover allows the output of frequencies from the high and low drivers to occur in perfect synchronization, avoiding the time smear that's typical in less advanced powered speakers.
Attractive Cabinet Design with Dual Ports and Offset Tweeter
- In developing the M1 Active mk2, the Alesis engineering team discovered that dual font-facing ports provided the fastest, most coherent and extended low frequency augmentation. Also, the unique offset design of the high frequency driver allows for the flattest frequency and power response in a speaker that offers such wide dispersion. The M1 Active's attractive mirror-imaged, charcoal- toned cabinet and magnetically-shielded drivers allow for placement in close proximity with computer or video monitors, and offers the added benefit of blending beautifully into your studio's decor without being obtrusive. They may be mounted in either a horizontal or vertical placement to best fit your studio's requirements.
The Alesis M1 Active mk2
- With the lineage of the TEC Award-winning Monitor Onet Studio Reference Monitor, Alesis speakers have already become a standard in project and professional studios around the world. If you're looking for the same great accuracy and detailed response in a powered system that's truly affordable, the answer is clear: the new M1 Active mk2 from Alesis.
