All user reviews for the Alesis Monitor One MkII

Passive 2-way: 1 * 13cm + tweeter, bass reflex AR harbor, 120 watts rms announced! ..... A 80/90w max seems more real. hifi speaker more than monitor: response curve V with little mid (1-2k) and bcp 80hz and 10kHz. not really faithful.

SOUNDS

sounds nice but far from a studio monitor ..... (Not "flat" at all)
AVERAGING quite dynamic, stereo suitable lack of clarity in the mid / hi mid. due to a small peak (2/3) to very wide 600hz.

OVERALL OPINION

small or stereo broadcast editing: yes; studio monitoring / mixing / mastering: not really suitable.
the model amplified bass reflex ports on the front (* 2 small) but less convincing than the passive (only 1 big bass reflex port AR), on the other hand, Alesis RA150 amp avoided with advice (and others in the series ): pb relay HP after 2/3ans! (See forums), and its really ugly, also a good amp HiFi uncorrected, will better the deal. (Currently harmann kardon 90w * 2).

I had heard from a friend and I liked the bass for such monitors.
Personally I use today to mix podcasts and they are very good for that because less accurate than my HR824 which will reveal all the defects of my mix.
That said they serviced me well at the beginning thanks to their low price.
Good bass and a casually its pretty balanced. But not super fine / detailed.

SOUNDS

Good momentum.

OVERALL OPINION

I have been a good ten years coupled with the amp that goes well with and never had a problem.
For the price, they do the job! And I like their dynamic to my DJ mixes.
Sorry not to be too specific but it is very long as I have.
Also I paid much more expensive at the time. And if they are now at 150 €, this is a good deal.
Prefer the model can be amplified on the other hand ...
I do not know if I will ever choose after 10 years, may be if my budget will be limited ...

Speaker 2 Way Passive Monitor, Electromagnetic Shielding, 120 Watts / 4 Ohms Connectors: Terminals.
I use it in my home studio for recording drums, electric and acoustic guitar, bass, keyboards, vocals. I had a Kenwood amp that I tried and I finally kept.

SOUNDS

The response curve is sufficiently neutral saw my amp. They have enough potatoes for people who love listening to loud. The stereo image is really excellent. I am regularly impressed by it. The lack of precision in the bass.

OVERALL OPINION

I use them for 7 years. I tried the Yamaha NS10M. I especially like the stereo is just incredible. The price / quality ratio is undoubtedly present. They suit me perfectly for my use of non-professional enthusiast. With the experience I would do this or I obterais choice for the active version.

I plugs into a HiFi amp Sony TAF 110 of the range of 2x40 watts RMS.
The finish is impeccable aa srieux air.

SOUNDS

I did that yesterday and I am delighted.
Stereo image is excellent compared to stuff I was using "before" is the day and night.
I think the sound is generally prcis, they may be lacking a bit of medium too but I did not used to this type of speaker.
The bass is trs Submitted tonnament and down low for a model of this size, I have even a little from the virtual bass / treble on my amp to gain balance with the rest of the spectrum.
I rgale discs cost me over some plan lments rear jump in the ears ...

OVERALL OPINION

I did that yesterday, I put my mind day in a few weeks.
What I like most is their precision and image gnrale Stereo is top.
I tried the M1 active and Samson Resolv before: I opt for those following their best bass response compared to rsolve, and compared their prices with respect to economic trs M1 Active.
The price quality ratio is excellent!

Here is my p'tites monitoring speakers, they are trs prcises and powerful. I use them with my power amp Omnitronic P250 and mate trs well together, I expect a door but the PERIOD of pregnancy must be long in studio sets.

SOUNDS

Regarding its neutrality is to see as they are in the Chanon of my home studio. They have gained a better return in mdiums, when the image Stereo, plaind I do not. Their dynamic is especially thunderous bass, they do not seem to have stretched the limits of the sound spectrum.

OVERALL OPINION

I have been less than a year. My affinity will curve to the minutes of its frequency drives, all is well comprhensible their audio output. I was told they were desperately short of mdiums, my personal thanks rglages, there and then some. To report qualitprix, I'm thrilled and I Do not hesitate ritra choice.

Already known

SOUNDS

The neutrality is the key word of its speakers.
His quilibrage is perfect and abused in any frquence, ideal for his work and its effects with an incredibly loyal resistitution.
the dynamics are great respect and everything is perfectly restored and it has no nuance that is beautiful in its monitors.

OVERALL OPINION

has been 2 years since I owns and I keep it for me are idalie and price is the same n'hsiter pas.La prcise restitution is without color and it is a needed when have cre music because then the sound Sonera whatever the system on which you cost!
I tried other pregnant before but my alesis more cons for the first time you need a good amp with why not pair it with one of the same brand?

Use for over two years to compose and monitor mixes.
amplifier with a Technics SE-A1000 (2x100watts sub 4ohm) and used in a pice of 25m and 3m ceiling with acoustic rather average.

SOUNDS

- THE FREQUENCY RESPONSE is not neutral because the fever is really set avant.Il is a trough between 500 and 1000 Hz (see my profile for the position)
- The stereo is not bad but the fact that the highs are a little ahead fake it.
Serious lack of it, but DEFINITIONS down pretty well for the rest of the spectrum is suitable, the top spectrum is dtaillbr />-dynamics is rather good

OVERALL OPINION

The more the price and the ratio Q / P o especially now they are found less than 200euros pair.
Cons: the glaring lack of good linaritj'ai begin to know, I find it hard to mix that transpose to other systeme.je always ended with a muffled and heavy.
Otherwise the work area is relatively small because the high is too prescriptive.

replaced by Dynaudio BM6P it now serve as secondary costs of

What motivated me was the price at first, I come from a local isolate and make a cab so the budget's seré now, I missed this maillont order to good use my little home studio setup, then the is a wonder, I was able to listen before aheter with no eq on the amp is the sound is fairly linear, at least to my ears, no more than low acute and screws to a

SOUNDS

The sound is very clean or even impressive compared to the crap I've had but its my first forum monitoring, I listened to my mix on another forum and I find the result ke travels well, have on Staton else listening, I have not had time to test in my car for example

OVERALL OPINION

I use them for more than a week, I hesitated with behringer 2031p, but was unable to test the one, the sound seemed very clean on my ales and being cheaper it my help me decide, I this choice would do without talking about money because I think ke ke 150 euros a pair of speakers is a bit abused but hey no choice, I have not tested other model I am proud the board of several seller but first I thought this is a good solution

Concerning the technical specifications of this product, and what attracted me the most, it is the 120w of power, more powerful studio monitors above one is free to stick the amp of our choice.

For use in the studio rather large area in my opinion. And for the beginner or tight budget anyway: EXELLENT quality / price ratio.

I use an amp with ALESIS RA150, the two go together.

SOUNDS

The frequency curve slightly favors the upper spectre.Le internal crossover seems still a bit "stingy" in the low end on the rest of it's acute and medium are reproduced perfectly above the upper spectrum that do not saturate!

The stereo image is accurate.

The sound is very clear in the high end (big highlight for me).

OVERALL OPINION

I use them for 6 months, no problem.

+ = Clear and acute power handling (they support big amp).

- = Low end a little behind.

QUALITY / PRICE EXELLENT

With experience I recommend this choice for the beginner / tight budget ... it gets better as well!

For my choice of material I sail a good time on the net for a max of opinion (the seller in stores want to sell what they have in stock and therefore are not impartial).
I use them in home studio to replace the speaker hacked by me.
I use an Alesis RA150 amp as it is meant to be together

SOUNDS

At first, the sound is okay to be compared with other Beringher and alesis samson or I could listen.
stereo image is very good, I rediscovered my mix.
The sound is very clear compared to my old aiwa "tuning", the bass sounds good in any case that fits me very well for the price.
ca a potato

OVERALL OPINION

I was last week.
I prefer an amp and passive monitor because I can find a "boring" to turn my speaker on the back (that's what I blame all the active monitor.
I listened to Beringher, and alesis samson (also Genelec but it was not in my budget).
at counting money is the amp I had for € 270 which is very correct one small problem which I had not thought of before: the event in the back.
I'm not disappointed so I would do this choice. satisfied

Here j bought this monitor to the mix and composition of Hiphop (home studio)
config: carte mere mid-range, very good processor, d + 1 GB ram, 36 bit sound card reels 24/96 (today TerraTec DMX6fire j which test the limits of operating day by day) and an Alesis RA150 amp (all good and coherent)

The price closer to that my purchase and the quality of listening test in the store.

I put the note 9, because I have no tjs not pushing the limits of my config (new sound card), lack of time to be able to say a score of 10.

SOUNDS

Frequency response: not enough experience or knowledge to judge, but it seems very correct (seen in the price range of these monitors)

stereo image: good, very good or near perfect, for I used many stereo effects (phaser / flanger) and the return is amazing, one could even make teckno with!!

Clear sound is very very specific acute (an advantage for me), medium right (I rarely based on medium), and serious near-perfect (bass and Rythmik that hard if you push the amp)

a very very good dynamic with the RA150 amp (drives a 40% minimum)

I put the note 10 for perfomances, compared to the price.

OVERALL OPINION

I use them for about 1 year

J loves: the cohesion of sound in the whole, the AC power that emerges, the simplicity, price, neutrality sounds

J likes least: not much, I'm satisfied with!

j've seen of studio monitors, a number of home studio, and everything is good in all (exept for studio monitors, much higher), but considering the price, it's still the best choice that I've seen, for the home studio

Q / P: exellent see amazing, a very good deal, a very good buy.

With the experience: j tell me why I have not bought this before!

Score of 10 for the ratio Q / P (as I say, hallucinating!)

Well before buying anything should first know why you want to buy it and how we will use it. Then we look for the same price range to our stock market without bad puns.
Not the monitoring speakers within the meaning of the word. Let's not talk nonsense and do the pros with these two black boxes, but certainly not pretty pro.
The technical characteristics have no incentive to be disclosed here, if we were to just watch the label to buy, notices would serve no purpose.
In short, I use these speakers with a 400W amp Technic with lots of connections to plug stuff. As my preamp Vox Tone Lab, my BDC3000 the Toneport and laptop for my girlfriend.
In fact they are hi-fi speakers, and more precise, clear and aesthetically more pleasing than these ignoble wooden facades home grandmother that one can find the radius of the Hi-Fi stores.
These speakers will be used to make the walls of your hi-fi or 2.1 system on your computer in the trash. And for 149 euros, it's worth every penny.

SOUNDS

Its level, that's exactly what they are asked to do a pretty faithful rendition, clear and precise. You close your eyes, we place ourselves in the middle, and the hypnosis session can begin. Each piece is a personal concert.
The stereo is really well distributed, the left means the sound of left and right sounds right. Not the stereo image is frankly baffling to the price of these speakers.

on the other hand ATTENTION !!!!!!!
Music creation mode!
I read in another opinion that the DO "resonance". And it is unfortunately true. I tried it with guitar (strat 70reissue), low (JB) and keyboard (a yamaha all rotted) and it seems to vibrate, a kind of vibration that saturates the vibration but without saturating. It's very special, it's like a volume boost with a tremolo, reverb in the 100Hz on the DO. And it's very disruptive to the speakers so-called "monitoring".
This may be due to certain physical laws that bind size of 6.5, volume of the chamber, air pressure and frequency of the note. But I'm not a physicist, I am a musician (or so).
The only positive is that if you do not recognize notes by ear, this device can help. But I do not think this is what is asked!

To be clear, the sound is clear. A little too sharp to be completely neutral. But as we said, since this is not the best of the best and if one day you really want to do something serious it will invest more, it is enough.

OVERALL OPINION

The more I hear what they tell me the happier I am to have purchased. If you know what you want, beauty and well away with a sound spectrum fairly well respected, these speakers are ideal. The price is reasonable, it is a good value for money.
As against the weak point is the DO. I do not create these speakers. I have a headphone is not the most accurate and better. I worked in a recording studio for television advertising (no glory I know) and to quickly there is no perfect home studio. I heard the Dynaudio BM12A of my friend in the ingéson, I cried a little and then I went home, there's no photo. If you want good sound in your house, buy a good headphone. The headset is fine, it can hurt the ears after 10h of continuous use but you're on your bubble of being in music.

In short if you want to hear the little noises of slamming saliva in the mouth of your musical background singers on a precise and clear, these speakers are perfect.
on the other hand, if you considering creating your titles characters in your little house and you like the C major, you may be disappointed.

I would definitely do it again this election, the sound quality does not exist anywhere in the same price range.
And the speakers Hi-fi neutral and accurate, black and disguised as monitoring speakers, there are not many I think ...

If this is what you want do not hesitate a second longer.

This is the first price that motivated me to be the honnête.Je have received today and at first listen I took a slap! Sacred potato ...
I chose passive monitors flem by turning on and off with each use and also for the price difference compared to active monitors.

SOUNDS

I read they were generous in low but to me it's perfect!
The stereo image is excellent and the sound is clear, it lacks a bit of mids a bit but really, nothing serious.

OVERALL OPINION

The price / quality ratio is excellent, they have a pretty face and are neither too large nor too small.
I recommend these monitors, I am an amateur (producing hip-hop) and obviously much more savvy guys will always say it's not genelec or other but certainly not the same budget and the alesis really satisfy me!
YEAHHHHHHHHHH ...
