Alesis M1 Active 330 USB Active Nearfield Monitors

Give Your Computer a Sonic Upgrade
Employing technology adopted from Alesis’ award-winning Monitor One and M1 Active models, Alesis M1Active 330 USB studio monitors are equipped with lightweight 3-inch aluminum woofers that yield a quick transient attack and linear frequency response. Precision-designed waveguides ensure well-controlled high-frequency dispersion. Smoothly radiused cabinet edges and flared rear-firing bass ports eliminate unwanted sonic artifacts.

The result is clear sound reproduction with a wide sweet spot and impressive stereo imaging. M1Active 330 USBs also include an integrated audio interface that accommodates most line-level sources. A single USB cable is all it takes to route audio to and from your computer. Alesis M1Active 330 USBs are sure to give your computer a sonic upgrade.

Top-notch engineering for top-notch sound
When we ran the M1Active 330 USBs through their paces here at Sweetwater, it was clear that a great deal of clever engineering went into their design. They sound excellent — especially at this price point. Their 3-inch aluminum woofers are lighter and stiffer than carbon-fiber, paper, or glass-Aramid woofers, ensuring an ultra-fast transient attack and linear response through the low and midrange frequencies. Their high-frequency dispersion is well-controlled and predictable, thanks to precision-designed elliptical waveguides. Their smooth aerodynamic cabinet edges minimize audible edge diffraction, while flared rear-firing bass ports prevent low-frequency turbulence. Beyond that, custom-designed anti-resonant wood cabinets yield natural-sounding bass.

Convenient integrated USB audio interface
A built-in USB audio interface makes the M1Active 330 USBs a convenient plug-and-play solution for getting audio in and out of your computer. It’s easy to connect line-level turntables, keyboards, guitar effects, DJ mixers, or media players directly to these speakers. And connecting to your computer is as easy as plugging in a single USB cable — no drivers or extra software is required.
