INTRODUCTION
Your new Alesis Monitor Two™ Studio Reference Monitors will deliver
accurate mixes in near and mid-field digital and analog studio monitoring
applications. The Monitor Two offers wide frequency response, accurate
transient reproduction, clear musical detail and imaging and high power
handling capability. These monitors were designed by experts with decades of
experience in professional audio system design including the award winning
Monitor One™ Studio Reference Monitors and the Alesis Matica™ Power
Amplifiers.
This three-way speaker system uses proprietary 10” and 5 ¼” high power low
and midrange drivers with special mineral filled polypropylene cones, a highly
damped linear rubber surround and large diameter voice coils wound on high
temperature Kapton formers. The 1” high frequency driver employed has a soft
natural silk dome and is ferrofluid cooled. The system’s crossover network uses
unique asymmetrical crossover filters for excellent amplitude and phase
response. Rear panel connections are made via 5-way binding posts suited to
large diameter wires as well as banana plugs.
The cabinet design uses Alesis’ exclusive SuperPort’ speaker venting
technology. Most speakers used for near and mid-field monitoring give
disappointing results in their lowest frequency range. They are either sealed,
which limits the amount of air the driver can move, or have an undersized vent
whose function at low frequencies and high acoustic output is nullified by the
effect of turbulence in the restricted port tube. The Monitor Two’s large
SuperPort overcomes this limitation by minimizing vent turbulence at high air
velocities thereby insuring that the enclosure tuning remains stable, the acoustic
output remains linear during heavy low frequency attack transients, and that the
reactive load above and below box resonance seen by the driving amplifier does
not dynamically shift in frequency. This all translates to tighter bass with higher
definition, a signature of Alesis monitors.
The Monitor Two’s 4 ohm load impedance takes advantage of today’s modern
professional amplifiers which are generally capable of a 1-3 dB increase in
output power with 4 ohm loads over their 8 ohm ratings. The result is a similar
increase in the Monitor Two’s acoustic output over conventional 8 ohm
monitors. This a rugged speaker system designed for serious professional use.
Covered with a non-slip rubber textured laminate for stable mounting, the
Monitor Twos come in a mirror image A/B pair for symmetrical horizontal or
vertical mounting.
