These things are perfect for my needs. I needed some monitors to double for my pc and korg sv-1 without needing a separate device in between.

by Michael E Green from Cedarville, AR
Very happy with the 520 usb. I don't even use the bass boost switch, just the right amount of bass without it. The mids, the highs, seem to be all here.

February 24, 2012 Music Background: hobbyist Not so great monitors
by Michael Keilhofer from Dallas, TX
I was excited to got these but soon disappointed since when listening to them everything seemed dull. So I ran a set of test frequencies through them. Wow! Alesis claims 56 to 20,000Hz but in reality ... read more [+]they start dropping off significantly below 85Hz and above 7Khz.April 21, 2010 Music Background: Retired Pro. In my opinion, that makes them very expensive for quality akin to a $30 pair of desktop speakers. Also, be warned that since they are veiwed as direct speakers by your PC, you have no way to EQ anything. My built in 7 band eq works on outboard speakers but not on USB speakers. I sent several emails to Alesis asking about the por performance but never got a response. I obviously returned them and won't be looking at Alesis speakers again. close [-] Also popular
