Omschrijving
Alesis Monitor Two - Studio Reference Monitor (Speakerset)
Excerpt van een review uit 'Sound On Sound Magazine' :
THE SOUND
One of the benefits of a three-way design is that each driver can concentrate on getting its own part of the audio spectrum right, and in the case of the Monitor Twos, that results in a deep, well-controlled bass end that hasn't been tuned to hell just to make it sound impressive. Instead, you get a bass you can really feel, but it doesn't overpower or get in the way of mid-range detail.
The mid-range and high-frequency drivers blend seamlessly, and another advantage of the three-way design is that the upper crossover frequency is kept well away from the vital speech area of the frequency spectrum. The outcome is a highly detailed sound, and the tonality is also very smooth, which means that you can listen for long periods without having to reach for the aspirin.
SUMMARY
The final word is that if the Alesis Monitor Twos happen to fit your budget, and you want a full-range monitor system as opposed to a good pair of nearfields, don't buy anything else until you have compared them with these.
PROS
Well balanced sound.
Good bass extension.
Excellent stereo imaging.
CONS
The sharp cabinet corners skinned my shin as I was getting them out of the box!
SUMMARY
If there was a 'best in their class' award for monitors, these would definitely make it to the finals.
Specificaties (uit de handleiding):
- Te gebruiken als mid-field (waar ik ze voor gebruikte), maar ook als nearfield monitors
- 3-weg systeem: een 10" driver voor het laag, een 5" driver voor de middentonen en een 1" silk dome tweeter voor het hoog; de hoge tonen zitten het spraakspectrum daardoor niet in de weg en het laag slurpt geen energie ten koste van de rest van het audiospectrum
- Full Range Design: geen subwoofer nodig
- Ideaal voor het checken van het (sub)laag; door grote frequentiebereik van 35hz - 18khz (±3db) hebben de Monitor Two's net dat extra octaaf dat vele (ook grotere) nearfields niet hebben
- Bedoeld als studiomonitor: geeft dus een exacte weergave met veel details i.p.v. een geflatteerd geluid
- Rechtop of liggend te gebruiken
- Te koop aangeboden vanwege upgrade naar ander fullrange monitorsysteem uit duurder segment
- In gebruikte, maar goede staat
- Mag weg tegen een reëel bod
- Bieden bij serieuze interesse a.u.b. of neem contact op via e-mail
- Op onzinbiedingen wordt niet gereageerd
- Eventueel i.c.m. een set Millenium BS-500 speakerstatieven van Thomann (nieuw in doos of tweedehands)
