Manufacturer's Description for Alesis M1 Active 620 2-Way Near Field Monitor (100 Watts)

Alesis M1 Active 620 2-Way Near Field Monitor (100 Watts). The M1 Active series offers incredible definition and flat frequency response from the high-precision drivers and a professionally crafted crossover. The cabinet and drivers have been redesigned for a bold new look and even greater sonic clarity.

The M1 Active 620 has a 1 in. thick front baffle, which minimizes speaker resonance, and the visually stunning acoustic waveguide evenly disperses high-frequency sound across your control room. The M1 Active includes new Bass Density technology, which allows you to tailor these monitors to any room's acoustics. The distinctive top-mounted power/clip indicator lets you know if the speaker is clipping.

The M1 Active 620 features a 100-Watt amplifier and 6.5 in. low frequency woofer.

"Not bad"

Sound: I upgraded from unpowered Alesis Monitor One MKIIs. The sounds characteristics are remarkably similar. I'd have to say that the highs are smoother though, much less ear fatique. The bass also seems more controlled and less muddy. The imaging is very good with low distortion at all noise levels I've tried. I have a small project studio so they get loud enough for me. The bass is ok but there is only so much a 6 1/4 woofer can do. The frequencies do roll off fairly smoothly when they do get too low. One complaint, if you stick your head near the tweeters when the power is on but with gain all the way down, you can hear a faint hiss. I don't know if all powered monitors do this, but it's fairly annoying considering I have a very quiet room. Feature: A small amount of adjustments on the back. Not many variations, but good enough for me, they sound best flat anyway. Ease of Use: If you understand what powered monitors are, this is easy. Quality: I've used Alesis products for a while and have never had any issues. Value: You can't beat the price performance when compared to other powered monitors. Manufacturer Support: Never dealt with them Overall: I'm still within the return period and may look around at other monitors to see if they have that hiss at no volume problem. Not many fall within this price range. I may look at KRK.

This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful. "cant get a better sounding monitor for the money."

Sound: i do alot of hip-hop and r&b tracks, so bass is important so i added a krk rokit 10 sud, and if i could put the sound quality of the m1 active 620 in one word it would be (orgazmic) Feature: no Ease of Use: i have a home project studio made and listened to alot of dry tracks on em, have not mastered on them yet. Quality: it seems to be solid construction, but i dont move them, one concern though i also can hear a hiss when the gain is turned up (kind of annoying) Value: great price for the sound quality (in my opinion better then the over priced events) Manufacturer Support: havent had to deal with em. The Wow Factor: very appealing nice to look at ,even better to listen to. Overall: the only way i would replace these monitors is if alesis came out with a better series of the ones i already have.

Style of Music: hip-hop , r&b and classical.
