Alesis Point Seven New Speakers, New Applications In 1994, Alesis created a new standard in mix reference monitors with the TEC Award-winning Monitor One. Now, with its introduction of the new Point Seven Shielded Reference Monitor ($299 list), the company addresses a whole new class of studios: The home and multimedia studio. With their solid bass, crisp, detailed highs and pinpoint precision imaging, the Point Seven allows you to hear every detail in your recording, for perfect reproduction of even the most critical mix. Unlike common home or multimedia speakers, the Point Sevens are acoustically balanced to give accurate, flat reproduction of the sound being reproduced instead of the narrow, often artificially hyped response of most consumer level speakers. Of course, the Point Sevens are magnetically shielded for use with any size computer or video monitor, making it right at home in MIDI studios, video editing suites and multimedia authoring facilities. The highly-acclaimed Super-Port technology has been retained from the Monitor Ones, but the ports are mounted on the front to make speaker positioning less critical. In addition, a custom-designed 2 kHz crossover provides accurate phasing and a wide sweet spot for mixing. It's a well-known fact that most small shielded monitors just can't deliver the kind of power that music professionals require. The Point Seven was designed from the ground up as a studio reference monitor for serious pro-level use, meaning it can easily handle 50 watts of continuous power and 100 watt transients. This kind of power handling is crucial for mixing rock music and a pair of Point Sevens can fill a room with sound if necessary. Plus, its 4 ohm impedance allows most amps to deliver up to double the power that they can to 8 ohm speakers. Each Point Seven monitor features a 5.25" low frequency driver and 1" silk dome tweeter and weighs in at only 11 pounds. Gold-plated 5-way binding posts are standard. If you need small, shielded monitors that can play loud when you need it, as well as provide pinpoint imaging, call your Sweetwater sales engineer for your special price on the Alesis Point Sevens!
