I bought these Alesis after 2 weeks of research, I hesitated between them and the Prodipe PS5 but many opinions related to me a lack of bass on Prodipe; As data I am mostly full of the big bass electro (Drum'n Bass, Jungle, DubStep) I opt for Alesis, I think 200.

SONORITS
L is not the same: 6 months that I have, and already I start to tell me that shit then, if I had I would have hardly expected to put 100 more in addition srieux monitors ... Certainly, all i was crazy when installing, nothing to do with the sound of my hifi chain; but now that I got accustomed to it's true that it's a bit hard to spend hours a mixdown to realize that there still gaps on monitors or even the cha hi-fi nes which I rcoute my songs, among friends ...
For example, my last bit sounds perfectly on my Alesis, and when I listening to my chain, or that of a friend (a Sony not too dgueulasse), we only hear screaming treble (j'xagre voluntarily). And the PS8 Prodipe of a friend, it's downright dbandade the ...
Certainly I exagre a bit, but I'm picky, and they are "only" 200 pregnant ... But compared to the humming of the manual and technical paper promises, we dchante a bit ...
NOTICE GLOBAL
In 6 months, I must admit I did Interim progress of these small speakers thanks standards and to this point I do not regret my purchase.
But now that I am aware of their flaws, I ask myself: is it mandatory that pregnant 200 have gaps like the Alesis, or is it that these are REALLY M1 Active 520:
- Poor bottom mdiums
- Too high in acute
- Produce a blast, even low volume
- Not very practical rgler (volume knobs to the rear could be crants)
In short, a lot of minor complaints overall, but additionns, make me understand the very lev took some monitors. While these Alesis make good service, and it was imperative to invest the inside rather than continue with my hi-fi chain, but one day, when I have more money, I will invest in "real" monitors, it is indispensable.See less00cyrb

Bought 140 euros used, this is a very good deal for a first purchase. I hesitated a long time with a higher range (Adam) of the same size. But a favorite accessed via a bearing (supporting the budget).
Otherwise they desire to present the dual price, I do not regret my choice and already redécouvres most titles in my library, including mine.See less30Ericokoston

Published on 10/16/11 at 21:48I bought the Alesis M! Active 520 monitors because I needed some small, reasonably priced monitors for my studio. I have to say that I am quite impressed. Lows are tight and focused, with plenty of detail in the mids and highs. What is really nice is that they can be set up for different listening environments via the switches on the back that allow you to tailor the frequency response to suit your needs. No doubt these aren't the smoothest or most detailed monitors in the world, but I have done a lot of mixing on them and the results have held up very well when listening to those mixes on other systems ie. boombox, car stereo, TV speakers, other reference monitors etc. In other words, they…Read moreI bought the Alesis M!

SOUNDS
Sounds pretty good, great stereo image and you can also put them next to your screen without worrying about anything being damaged. They have great low response and are pretty accurate. They don’t provide a lot of boom though, but you don’t want a lot of boom when you are mixing on them, you want a nice accurate clear sound.
OVERALL OPINION
Overall, When I received them I still thought man these little speakers are not going to do anything. Hooked them up and man I was surprised at the sound quality and clarity I was getting from them. They are very flexible to because you can cut the bass, mids, or highs and change the acoustics of the room. They are great monitor for the price and will help you get use to mixing music. I recommend them to anyone who is looking for a good set of monitors that will sound good and give above average flexibility. Once my studio gets bulit I will still use these along with my JBL LSP4300 series.

The sound is amazing for this price range.
Despite the tiny size, the bass coming out of these speakers are powerful enough. Awesome!
The treble is clear and well defined I think. They have a small hollow in the midrange, which is not displease me. It provides a comfortable listening I find.
The stereo image is wide and precise.
Only the bass is perhaps a little too vague. Very present, but we feel they are less accurate than speakers with a higher level.

I do have heard that a store on listening rather short, but I could compare it with other encintes the same price range, and these are my favorites.
I compared with Berhinger, of active Tannoy, Yamaha, and another mark I can not remember.
To each his own way to enjoy the speakers, but they suit me perfectly!
I find they sound great, without distorting, but still a pleasant listen (more than tannoy for example, which is accurate but less flattering).
For this price, I find that there is no better ...See less10pragz

Since this morning but I'm really happy with this purchase so I wanted given my opinion!
I would say that although the speakers for the bass of this size that are more deadly in an environment more than I should be fast running out of low ...
Yes I tried edirol has a much higher lev and the minutes were as good if not better.
Frankly the price is exeptional quality report (for the moment let me go tomorrow if I dgout!)

Published on 01/23/08 at 01:53 (This content has been automatically translated from French)I bought these speakers because they were active and I hesitated with M1MKII of the same brand, which are fairly used home studio, but the wallet has chosen the former.

I work with an audio interface from Alesis iO/26 of (I'm already happier) with Cubase SX.

I put 8 because the features seem good and that "if we listen to him," these are the speakers for me.

SOUNDS
- The frequency curve is sufficiently neutral?
No, I do not think so. I started to side tracks we recorded with my group. This made a lot already on the alesis. I decided to stroll a little about everything that moves. Logitech speakers on my computer mean that low (some opinions say that the bass is monstrous ...). It's really annoying because I used to mix to a fairly low level. I do not want to have to make the corner to hear the bass. So it does not care shit to the mix. Ditto on the sound of our speakers to repeat (the coxx ...). So here ...
- The stereo image is good?
Yes, but that's normal, it's amplified speakers.
- The sound is clear and precise on the spectrum?
I'd say it's relative. You can have a good mix, but it still sounded a bit messy compared to the pro.
OVERALL OPINION
I use them for a little over a month.
I like their look (the blue light ptite it does), the fact that they are compact and make it still sound good in general.
on the other hand, level accuracy and frequency response you can really do better.
I have not tried other models and I regret it. The choice of wallet, avoid a few times.
The value is certainly good but for 100 euros more you have the MKII, which are probably much better.
With the experience I would do not have that choice. I will keep these speakers for listening to music at home (I have no stereo in my apartment). I will try to finish the mix of our demo somehow. When I have the round, I'll buy two "good pairs", which complement each other well, and I buy a mackie big knob to switch between the pairs, no problem like that mix.
Do not buy these speakers for a mix of very good quality. In a context "model" it can go but ...
I hope my opinion could be helpful.
