Alesis Monitor One Mkii Passive 6.5 Studio Monitors

Purchased two JBL 305P MKII studio monitors for a computer room studio, driven by external DAC and Amplifier with HI-RES flac wav source music files. I am really enjoying the outstanding high fidelity sound.

I use a pair of JBL 306P MkII's for studio monitors and for music playback, song accompaniment during guitar practice and pleasure listening. Really, for a set of reasonably priced powered monitors, they sound fantastic. I run them from my PC through a DAC directly to each speaker. Impressed by the sound and the build quality. Purchased and shipped directly from JBL. Great experience. Would buy again.

If you need a passive near field studio monitor a little like Yamaha NS10s but with a nicer sound these are your babies! They have low distortion and a really nice high end and not harsh but also retain a very workable low end which makes mixing a breeze. I use them everyday as a mixer in Los Angeles.

This studio monitor control may be passive, but its knob is anything but. Simple setup, minimal cables. Elegant buttons, and one glorious beast of a knob with butter smooth movement.

These were backordered for quite a while but for the price it was well worth the wait. I needed isolation for the small Alesis monitors I have from my good old biamp Event 20/20s...these were perfect!

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

Fantastic for the studio monitors.

I've owned one of these monitors for several months now and now purchased a 2nd and 3rd to use in a studio with JVC cameras. The one I've had I use with my Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera in a studio and on location. It adds bulk, which if that's something that matters you may want to look at SmallHD. The other option would be using a monitor/recorder combo like the ones Atomos makes. I only needed a way to monitor my camera with the ability to check focus with peaking as well as see exposure with histogram and false color. This monitor has all those features that years ago weren't available for under $$or more. The only question is how accurate is the color of the LCD. I'll use it to check skin tones, but if McDonalds hires me to shoot a commercial I'm not going to rely on it to check the color of the golden arches. In the end, I would say this is a great monitor to use until you're ready to buy something from SmallHD or Atomos.

I have been using passive volume devices for my KRK Rokit 5 monitors but the ones I’ve tried seemed cheap and would often lose the audio signal if the volume was too low. This product has a heavy duty feel and the volume knob has some weight to it. It’s a pleasure to turn and feels well made. I don’t have the issue of the audio signal dropping anymore and I am able to plug my headphones into it and control their volume with a separate knob. I haven’t tried to plug my guitar or mic into it yet but I hear it is great for recording.

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.
