From Our Research Team:Alesis Reference Monitors!The new M1 Active 520 reference monitor continues the Alesis tradition of building premium studio monitors at a great price. The M1 Active 520 offers incredible definition and flat frequency response with the help of high-precision drivers and a carefully designed crossover. The rear-port provides deep bass-extension and high SPL output, and the four rear-mounted EQ switches allow the user to tailor the speaker to the studio environment. The M1 Active 520's 1" thick front baffle minimizes speaker resonance and the visually stunning acoustic waveguide evenly disperses high-frequency sound across your control room. The M1Active 520 has Alesis's new Bass Density control, which allows you to tailor these monitors to any kind of control room setting regardless of room placement.Finally, the distinctive top-mounted power/clip indicator lets you know if the speaker is clipping.

I was looking for a accurate set of monitors under $500 and my sales engineer Simon Picazo recommended these. At first I was unsure how they would do in my studio because they were only 5" woofers. Ho... read more [+]wever, when I received them I still thought man these little speakers are not going to do anything. Hooked them up and man I was surprised at the sound quality and clarity I was getting from them. They are very flexible to because you can cut the bass, mids, or highs and change the accousitcs of the room. They are great monitor for the price and will help you get use to mixing music. I recomend them to anyone who is looking for a good set of monitors that will sound good and give above average flexibility. Once my studio gets bulit I will still use these along with my JBL LSP4300 series and Focals. close [-]

by drdiode from sharon, nd
I bought these as I needed some small, reasonably priced monitors for my studio. I have to say that I am quite impressed. Lows are tight and focused, with plenty of detail in the mids and highs. What ... read more [+]is really nice is that they can be set up for different listening environments via the switches on the back that allow you to tailor the frequency response to suit your needs. No doubt these aren't the smoothest or most detailed monitors in the world, but I have done a lot of mixing on them and the results have held up very well when listening to those mixes on other systems ie. boombox, car stereo, TV speakers, other reference monitors etc. In other words, they do what they are supposed to, at a very decent price. close [-]
