Alesis’ new M1 Active Biamplified Reference pair of monitors offers the incredibly accurate response that perfectly translates to every playback system. With the aid of a reliable set of dual amplifiers the these speakers are capable of a broad, extremely flat frequency response, clear imaging with a wide sweet spot, high power handling and detailed high and mid-frequency response that only a professional powered monitor can deliver. Alright, we got it, it’s a professional product.

You won’t fall for a brief description like that, now would you? Check out the real deal:

• Custom drivers designed for active monitoring – the M1 Active’s woofer and tweeter were specifically designed for the most linear, low distortion response in powered monitoring applications. The tweeter is made of ferrofluid materials so you know it’s going to deliver a clear and distortion-free sound.

• Active bi-amplifiers and electronic crossovers – a 75 watt woofer amp and a 25 watt tweeter amp were developed for the M1 Active, along with 8th order high- and low-pass electronic crossover filters.

• Attractive cabinet design with dual ports and offset tweeter – charcoal- toned cabinet and magnetically-shielded drivers allow for placement in close proximity with computer or video monitors.
