Alesis M1 Active 520 Studio Monitors + House Distance Test

[D33Lux]

I've had these for about 3 yrs and the clarity is very good, anyone considering buying these will need a subwoofer because these monitors won't produce good bass because the drivers are only 5 inch and have a flat resonance. The built in amp & crossovers are a plus. I've smash the crap out of these where the clipping is full red and still clear as day. Buy yourselves a good wall outlet power bar (not no cheap $10) because any electrical surge will damage your computer & monitors.

@D33Lux How do you use a subwoofer with these? And which one would be compatible? Please help!

I just settled on these monitor speakers after 5 days of comparing monitors, I have an RCA interface, I have the 1/4th cables but Im going to get an RCA male to XLR male adapter. Is it Possible to hook a subwoofer up to this?

What kind of trs cables should i use plugin into a emu usb sound card unbalanced or balanced and what is the difference between both types?

[calikiddable]

[954cityofdahood]

@calikiddable the inputs are only 1/4 and xlr. but you can do one end xlr or 1/4 and the other end rca

[calikiddable]

@954cityofdahood ok do you think i would need a sub woof?

[954cityofdahood]

@calikiddable to get more bass range yes

thanks for posting, i've been lookin for a review of the non-usb version monitors. They sound great, ima get some for my studio too.

[954cityofdahood]

@NathanSynth trusts its worth the money, i plan on buying some another set

[NathanSynth]

@954cityofdahood as a hip hop producer how would you rate the bass response?

[954cityofdahood]

@NathanSynth the bass response is pretty good but like all monitors you will need subwoofer to get full range of bass
