All user reviews of 5/5 for the Alesis RA-150

I've had a few hours now (thank you backing track for delivery in 2 days)
and it pleasantly surprised me:

- By its weight (less than 3 kg) and its reduced size.
- Super nice look although very modern (so not the taste of everyone ...)
- But it mostly by his silence !!!! nothing like the old peavey I had !!!
- It does not heat, made it 5h is lit and clears 5 times less heat than my old peavey ... or my stereo amp !!!!
- And the power that is ample for home studio use, and c what scared me, but there was not any problem of the margin.

this is my second amp and frankly incomparable c,
185 I think it is a very good investment, time will tell me if it aged well ...

it features among RCA (asymmetric) and jack very (symmetric) and outputs terminals.
LEDs indicate the incoming signal (green) and clip (red).
it lacks the XLR even if the jacks are symmetrical.

with the experience I resumes without hesitation and I strongly advice!

EDIT:

after 2 years of use I too crunches problems ... bad contacts ...
it is very bizar because not li a particular channel.

I filed the notice to contradict the "Group MACH 3" and their sale catalog who say that this amp must be purchased for occasional use ....
My amp (coupled with the MK2 passive speakers) runs at least four hours per day and normal (adjustable volume buttons noon). In addition, t last I recorded with friends in a pice non air-conditioned, open the window as little as there was decision-making voice. He turned over 10 hours a day and never overheated. I make him see all the colors for more than two and a half years and it still did not.
In addition, it possde an excellent quality price. It DGIG-MK2-coupled to a sound that suits me is: there is "hot" and suddenly fits well trs jazz music, but it is also efficient in trs brightness (classical music). I took these two extremes in music (jazz and classical), knowing that I use it mostly on the music of "MIDI" rap and electro.
I strongly advise pregnant with my cit before, the whole nine did not Exceeds 500 euros if we dbrouille bien.Je have only one regret, the connector (RCA or JACK June 35)
A good reader, hello!

This is the first time I write a review here, despite several purchases, because the manufacturing quality of a product rarely surprises me, considering its price.

I was (very) pleasantly surprised by this amp. I originally bought it for a small bar. Since I didn't need too much power, I opted for an entry-level studio amp, with the idea of having the best possible quality for the same price.

And well, it didn't disappoint me! I stumbled unto an extremely well-conceived product. The outputs with servo-adjustment guarantee a sound without any noise, regardless of the level. After opening up the amp, I was pleasantly surprised by the size of the power supply, which guarantees a realistic performance (250 VA for a 2*75W amp is rare at this price point!), unlike many inexpensive amps (I had an unfortunate experience with a no-name amp that cost 100 euros and supposedly delivered 2*200w with a 75VA ... what a joke) .

I insist on this point because it's important from a reproduction point of view and even some renown monitors (like the new active Genelecs) feature undersized transformers. The amp has an extremely well-conceived discreet circuit, which you can tell from the sound! Compared to a basic, 80€ Hitachi hi-fi amp (everything I had at my disposal), it's like night and day, in terms of noise, precision and power, despite the Hitachi being rated at a higher output power.

In short, there's no trickery in terms of quality with this unit, which isn't the case with many products at this price point, even from renown manufacturers. It really makes you want to have passive monitors, even though you lose the advantages of bi-amplification, and there aren't many good passive monitors.

So, if you are looking for a quality amp, be it for studio or PA, and even for home use (if you don't need the embellishments of a hi-fi or home-cinema amp), go for it!
