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 use them for mixing and mastering for a demo project with my group.
I work with an audio interface from Alesis iO/26 of (I'm already happier) with Cubase SX.
Specifications are available on the Alesis site.
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.
