Alesis Elevate 3 Powered Desktop Studio Monitor Speakers 60 Watt Peak - Pair

I noticed some of the comments re volume , etc so ordered based more on previous experience of Alesis products, and was pleasantly surprised and pleased when they arrived. Not as big as I thought they would be, but more a bonus than a dissapointment. Re volume, for the average room, they are planty loud enough. I have mine connected to a seperate sub woofer via the sub out , and they give a pleasingly detailed and accurate sound. I have HHB Circle 5's and sub woofer on my main mixer , and use these on my PC , but they would be equally at home on my main mixing desk or hi-fi. I would say they are not far behind the HHB's in terms of sound quality, but at a fraction of the price. Bear in mind that if you want the best possible sound, even high end studios spending thousands on each monitor speaker use seperate sub woofers to seperate frequencies. There are two ways to use these speakers . One is stand-alone using the base boost for low frequecies - decent sound, especially if connected to hi-fi , etc and the other is with a seprate sub woofer. This means the speakers can handle mid and upper ranges with the sub handling low frequencies , and would be the preferred way if using for serious mixing duties, also giving much higher volume if required ( it really isn't though - higher volume does not mean it's better. detailed sound is what you really want if you are serious about good mixes). For the money , I think they are superb.

Bought these as computer speakers. They sound amazing! When no sound is playing and youre in a rather quiet room you can hear a slight hum from the speakers but thats to be expected so if that bothers you dont buy them. But the sound quality is amazing compared to my last pair of speakers and the added sub port is handy.

OK not the best for the price not that basey so for the price its crap, but get them cheaper then buy them

Good quality sound for the money. A sleek look and a very convenient size. Could do with a little more volume.

This is my second alesis elevate 3. The first one burnt because I didn't turn it off for days but something about these speakers that I like, the clarity of sound.

These speakers are shockingly poor. I have them connected to my mac and there is only a minor amount of bass coming thru even with the bass switch on on the back. Buy these and you regret it I assure you

hooked these up to my 26 year old record player and they are superb, great sound and bass adjustment, well worth the money

Didn't have enough bass on it sounded too tinny
