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 8.5W x 15H x 10D.
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. - Crossover: 2 kHz, 2nd-order fillers, (12dB per octave)
