Alesis Elevate 5 Mkii Active Studio Monitor

I gave 5 stars for decent quality and price. I am using Alesis M1 Active Mk 2 monitors with it, so far so good.

I needed a monitor controller for my studio for two pairs of speakers and a couple of inputs. As much as some of the functionality of active monitor controllers appeals to me, the sound quality is first and foremost. And we all know that unless you spend $3k - $10k most active systems severely color your sound - a little more than my current budget. I wasn't sure what to expect with this affordable passive controller however, after spending a few weeks with it I can say without a doubt that it is a great addition to my studio. I hear no coloration or change to the stereo sound field. The Mute, Dim, and Mono sum functions are really handy. And the build quality feels good under your hand. My only complaint is that it would be nice if the knob travel was detented for repeatable levels. Two Big Thumbs Up!

Excellent sounding amp for electronic drums. I have an Alesis Command set and the bass response from this amp is terrific. My only qualm is that you cannot use the headphone input to 'monitor' your playing, while mixed in with an iPhone, etc. - either the speaker is engaged OR the headphones, not both simultaneously. Therefore, I use a second monitor (which offers bluetooth) as the music source, then output that amp to the KAT - which inputs my headphones and drum module.

5 stars.

5 Stars, no need to say anything else.

5 Stars.

For the price, they can't be beat, but go for the K 240 Studio MKII if you can, as they're slightly better sounding, in my opinion.

I wanted to elevate my laptop to the level of the secondary monitor and also clear some desk space. This unit does the trick. It seems to do very well and, so far, the pneumatic is staying in place.

Not really a must have item but it does elevate your photography.

Tried the other brand, but this is the best for Alesis keyboards.
