At the 2014 NAMM Show, Alesis introduced the Elevate 6 Studio Monitor – an active studio monitor design.
Key Features:
- 75 Watt continuous output power (per speaker)
- Bi-amplified design, active crossover, flat frequency response
- 6″ low-frequency driver; 1″ silk dome tweeter
- High-density wood cabinets with bass porting
- Elliptical waveguides, widened listening area
- Radial-edge baffles reduce distortion
- ERP compliant – auto shut-off
A passive version of the Elevate 6 is also being introduced. It offers 100 Watts (RMS, per speaker) of power.
Details on pricing and availability are to come.
freq range?
They announced the Elevate 5 at NAMM last year, and it didn’t hit stores until November! So I wouldn’t hold your breath for these. I bought a pair of Elevate 5 and out of the box they didn’t work. Returned them and got something else. There are better crap powered speakers for the price.
I do have a pair of Elevate 3, and for $70 they are pretty great computer speakers. The auto on/off feature is great.
Do you recommend any certain better crap powered speakers … I need a small set of monitors cheap. Thanks.
If the Elevate 5 cost $150, and the Elevate 6 presumably more, then I would rather either spend $70 on Elevate 3, or $200 on AudioEngine A2.
