Alesis Monitor One MKII (Pair), Passive Speakers (Pair)
It didn’t take long to realize we had a hit on our hands. Just a few
short months after its introduction, Alesis Monitor One Studio
Reference Monitor was a winner of the prestigious TEC Award, and on its
way to becoming one of the most popular near field speakers on the
market.
The reason was as clear as its own crisp flawless sound,
super-flat wide frequency range, clear imaging, high-power handling and
excellent bass transient response. These features add up to a unique
ability to create incredibly accurate mixes that translate perfectly to
every playback system.
Monitor One became an instant favorite
among professional engineers and studio owners, as well as earning it a
place in countless home studios.
With
such a successful platform to build on, Alesis’ engineers wisely
settled for incremental improvements designed to coax even better
performance from our monitors.
They started with a new 6.5”
polypropylene low-frequency driver for tighter, more accurate bass
response. Then matched it with a newly redesigned, 1” pure silk-dome,
high-frequency transducer for even smoother, more accurate detail and
response, and a broader sound stage.
They improved the overall
frequency response (changing from 45 Hz – 18 kHz, to 45 Hz – 20 kHz +/-
3 dB) and coupled it with more efficient power handling. They also
provided magnetic shielding to allow use in close proximity to video
and computer monitors.
Perfectionists
that they are, however, our engineers didn’t just settle for tinkering
under the hood. The cabinet was redesigned for a new and more
attractive professional finish, and are now mirror image; left/right
pair for symmetrical speaker placement.
But more than just
cosmetic improvements, the new Monitor One also features radiused edges
for reduced edge diffraction, along with improved porting – thanks to
the next–generation of our exclusive SuperPort venting technology – to
eliminate the “choking” effect of smaller, shorter ports. The result is
a low-frequency response which extends well below comparable near field
monitors.
It all adds up to a spectacular next-generation of a
popular standard - the new state-of-the-art in affordable, high-quality
studio monitors.
