Alesis M1 Active 520 Monitors

If you want reference monitors on a budget, the Alesis M1 Active range provide great value for money.

These monitors are one of the best selling ranges at the moment, and there's a reason.

Here's what Alesis say about the M1 Active 520 monitors

The new M1 Active 520 reference monitor continues the Alesis tradition of building premium studio monitors at a great price. The M1 Active 520 offers incredible definition and flat frequency response with the help of high-precision drivers and a carefully designed crossover. The rear-port provides deep bass-extension and high SPL output, and the four rear-mounted EQ switches allow the user to tailor the speaker to the studio environment. The M1 Active 520's 1" thick front baffle minimizes speaker resonance and the visually stunning acoustic waveguide evenly disperses high-frequency sound across your control room. The M1Active 520 has our new Bass Density control, which allows you to tailor these monitors to any kind of control room setting regardless of room placement.

Finally, the distinctive top-mounted power/clip indicator lets you know if the speaker is clipping.
