| | Description | The Alesis Monitor 1 MKII Passive Monitors (Pair) gived you great accuracy and flat response at an unbeatable price. The 6.5" polypropylene low-frequency driver has a mineral-filled cone and damped linear rubber surround for tighter, more accurate bass response. Features a redesigned pure silk-dome, high-frequency transducer for smooth, accurate high-end detail and response, and a broad sound stage. Magnetically shielded to allow close proximity to video and computer monitors. The cabinet has also been redesigned with SuperPort venting technology to prevent choking and provide low-frequency response well below comparable near-field monitors. The cabinets have a more attractive finish and they're now mirrored for symmetrical speaker placement. | |

Excellent Studio Monitors Mar 04, 2010
I bought my first pair of Monitor One speakers from Alesis when they first came out over twelve years ago. I used them for front speakers in a home theater sound system, for recording studio monitors, as stereo speakers in my home audio system, and I've used them as PA speakers for practice drum sessions. Except for a tweeter that blew about eight years ago (and Alesis was GREAT! providing a replacement tweeter) these speakers are still going strong. You will not find a more robust, better sounding pair of studio monitors for the money, especially at the sale prices being offered now (3/4/10). In fact, I just ordered my second pair of Monitor Ones on Tuesday. I've been overdue for a pair of the MK IIs, which are magnetically shielded. The original Monitor Ones are not magnetically shielded, something to keep that in mind if you're looking to buy used. You'll want a magnetically shielded pair if you plan on housing the monitors near a TV or computer.
Here's an example of the Monitor Ones reproduction detail: I had my brother visiting one day. I sat him down about four feet away from the speakers and put on a Joe Satriani CD. We got to this one song and all of a sudden my brother looked up and said: "Wow, that's the first time I ever heard that." He was talking about a little pic work that you won't hear on anything but a good set of near-field studio monitors.
I'm know there are other excellent near-field monitors out there, and there's almost no limit on what you can spend. M-Audio are highly rated, and the new top shelf Tannoys and JBLs are $1,000 and $1,500, respectively.
If you're a professional recording engineer or musician, that's one thing. You can probably justify spending a lot more. But if you're in the semi-pro category or just an audiophile who wants the hear the music as it was intended to be heard, I don't think you'll be disappointed with these monitors.

The Starving Musician's Best Friend! Jul 14, 2006
I purchased the MK2s for my home studio and was very impressed with the sound quality. These bad boys give you a true sound and really help you tune those drums coming off your samplers. The price is a steal. I remember when it cost a lot of money to own quality studio equipment that would produce a prefessional, industry standard, sound. The MK2 makes the starvin musician sound like the hit makers.
