[MARLZTAH]

are you lot talking about the alesis m1 MK2's???

thinking about getting them myself

 

[logikz]

we sure are doctor. i find there is a bit of a notch in the bass, but you get used to it. or maybe its the way theyre placed in the room

 

[YOUNG TUNA]

are you talking about the ACTIVE alesis M1 MK2's?

http://www.thomann.de/fi/alesis_m1_aktiv_monitor_mk_ii.htm these right? im getting monitors too but not sure yet witch ones

good thread.

 

[MARLZTAH]

yeah the MK2's are active

two amps in each speaker.... one for the high, one for the low!!!!

 

[logikz]

heres some shit you didnt know about the mk2s, there is a design flaw in them, the power supply is too close to the amps and the functionality will become intermittent after a certain amout of hours of usage.
you have to contact alesis when this happens and they send you a new wossname which you have to doctor yourself.
granted i left my monitors on for that month i was in the carribean, think that might have added some wear and tear to my loved ones.

also, this info is from the school of what some guy down the pub told me, i havent researched it very much, or should i say at all

PRODUCT REVIEW FROM HTFR
Behringer's monitor 1c is a compact high-performance 2-way loudspeaker system that is ideally suited for audio / video multimedia applications, home recording studios and surround-sound systems. It has a powerful 5 ½" woofer with an extremely light-weight cellulose cone, a high-resolution ½" tweeter plus a phase-optimized high-precision crossover for absolute phase linearity.

Thanks to the 1c's high power handling capability (100 watts / iec268-5) with auto overload protection that prevents tweeter damage and resets automatically, you get full-range output with extremely low distortion.

These are active - Which do you think?

[BDS]

What is the difference between non active and active anyway?

 

[Dustek]

That HTFR info doesn't say whether they are active or not.

Active speakers have a built in amplifier (s). Like computer speakers. You plug them into the sound source and the mains.

Non-active speakers need a separate amplifier. Non-active are basically speakers cones in a box. They are generally more expensive because they're more professional.

Make sure you buy active speakers - that is all you can afford on your budget.

 

[Dustek]

From I can see, those speakers are passive (non-active) - you can't use them without an amp.

 

[BDS]

what about if i can find a cheap amp to hook em up to?

would that work out?
