Alesis M1 Active 330 USB Desktop Studio Monitors

Full Description

Professional-grade sound quality

Alesis have employed years of expertise and advances in technology to create these versatile audio monitors, resulting in a combination of high-end audio quality and built-in convenience. The M1Active 330 USB monitors are comprised of a 3-inch aluminium LF driver and a 1-inch silk dome tweeter, with 10W of output power per channel. The 3-inch aluminium low-frequency driver features a port enclosure for defined and powerful bass. The silk dome tweeter helps to provide smooth and clear highs that capture all the air and sparkle from your sound source. With 20W of power in total, the monitors are suitable for mixing and multimedia applications.

16-bit/48kHz USB audio interface

One of the most unique features of the 330 USB Studio Monitors is the integrated USB audio interface. The addition of the built-in audio interface is ideal for recording audio with reference-grade audio resolution. The interface is great for processing line-level turntables, keyboard, guitar effects, DJ mixers, CD/Tape players and more. This is highly convenient for converting old records, tapes and CDs, allowing you to digitise your music collection with ease. It’s plug and play compatibility allows you to connect easily to your computer and record within minutes.

Aluminium woofers

The unique 3-inch aluminium woofers provide a lighter and stiffer performance, compared to carbon-fibre or glass-Aramid woofers. This results in a faster transient attack and a linear frequency response in the bass and mids. The precision-designed waveguide helps to ensure optimal high-frequency dispersion for a predictable pattern. This makes finding the ‘sweet spot’ easier than ever, as well as preventing random scattering of sound.

Compact design, versatile connectivity

The smooth, baffled radiuses result in an aerodynamic design, helping to minimise edge diffraction for optimised sound reproduction. The custom-design, anti-resonant wooden cabinet ensures a natural bass response. For added power, the monitors also feature a built-in bass boost switch, providing added low-end power. The rear of the speaker features balanced inputs as well as a 1/8-inch stereo input for connecting various other equipment.
