Key Features
Trade in your Alesis M1 Monitor One Mk2 Passive Monitor (Single) with Gear4music. The M1 Monitor One Mk2 is cherished for its accurate sound reproduction and has served many home studios and audio enthusiasts well. If you're seeking a more immersive listening experience or require monitors that better suit your evolving mixing environment, this might be the perfect time for an upgrade. Consider transitioning to active monitors for more consistent power and tonal clarity, or perhaps monitors with a wider frequency range to capture more detailed highs and deeper lows in your mixes.

Alesis had a real hit on their hands the minute that studio owners heard the Monitor 1 and they have improved on that already legendary design with the Monitor 1 Mk2. This monitor features a new 6.5" polypropylene low-frequency driver for tighter, more accurate bass response. Alesis also redesigned the tweeter and enhanced the cabinets, incorporating a new mirror image design and new porting. With this new design, the Mk2 handles more power (120W program, 200W peak), provides a wider frequency range (45Hz - 20 kHz), and an even more impressive level of output. Mk2's are 4 ohm cabinets and measure 8.5"W x 15"H x 10"D.
It didn`t take long to realize Alesis had a hit on their hands. Just a few short months after its introduction, Alesis Monitor One Studio Reference Monitor was a winner of the prestigious TEC Award, and on its way to becoming one of the most popular near field speakers on the market.
The reason was as clear as its own crisp flawless sound, super-flat wide frequency range, clear imaging, high-power handling and excellent bass transient response. These features add up to a unique ability to create incredibly accurate mixes that translate perfectly to every playback system.
Monitor One became an instant favorite among professional engineers and studio owners, as well as earning it a place in countless home studios.
Obviously, there was only one thing left to do. Make it even better.
With such a successful platform to build on, Alesis` engineers wisely settled for incremental improvements designed to coax even better performance from their monitors.
They started with a new 6.5? polypropylene low-frequency driver for tighter, more accurate bass response. Then matched it with a newly redesigned, 1? pure silk-dome, high-frequency transducer for even smoother, more accurate detail and response, and a broader sound stage.
They improved the overall frequency response (changing from 45 Hz ? 18 kHz, to 45 Hz ? 20 kHz +/- 3 dB) and coupled it with more efficient power handling. They also provided magnetic shielding to allow use in close proximity to video and computer monitors.
Perfectionists that they are, however, our engineers didn`t just settle for tinkering under the hood. The cabinet was redesigned for a new and more attractive professional finish, and are now mirror image; left/right pair for symmetrical speaker placement.
But more than just cosmetic improvements, the new Monitor One also features radiused edges for reduced edge diffraction, along with improved porting ? thanks to the next?generation of our exclusive SuperPort venting technology ? to eliminate the ?choking? effect of smaller, shorter ports. The result is a low-frequency response which extends well below comparable near field monitors.
It all adds up to a spectacular next-generation of a popular standard - the new state-of-the-art in affordable, high-quality studio monitors.
