Alesis M1Active 520 USB Studio Monitors

Alesis recently paraded its M1Active 520 USB Studio Monitors at Anaheim, California. Specially design for professional studio use, the M1Active comes with an internal digital-audio interface while providing an audio range from 20kHz down to 56Hz. Not only do you benefit from USB playback ability, the speakers are also equipped with a couple of TRS-balanced 1/4-inch inputs which turns them into a computer audio interface. The Alesis M1Active also boasts a bi-amplified design that brings 25W and 50W power to the tweeter and woofer, respectively. It is equipped with a 0.25″ headphone output that will automatically mute the loudspeakers when connected. Expect to see the M1Active 520 USB Studio monitors this summer, and chances are it won’t cost more than $300.
