M1Active 330 USB (pair)

Below is the both the overview and features of the Alesis M1Active 330 USB (pair) Professional USB Audio Speaker System based on their website,

"TIME-TESTED TECHNOLOGY
Alesis has been creating studio monitors for nearly a quarter century. In that time, we’ve learned a thing or two about optimizing sound and sonic clarity. Built using technology adopted from Alesis' award-winning Monitor One and M1 Active professional studio monitors, the M1 Active 330 USB Desktop Studio Monitors are the perfect way to upgrade your computer or mobile device experience. Each speaker is housed in a custom-designed anti-resonant wood cabinet that helps provide natural bass. It features an elliptical waveguide with directional articulation technology.
EXCLUSIVE ALUMINUM WOOFERS
The M1 Active 330 USB studio monitors are equipped with 3” aluminum woofers that are lighter and stiffer than typical carbon-fiber, paper or glass-Aramid woofers, giving the M1 Active 330 USB an even faster transient attack and more linear response through the bass and midrange. Additionally, a precision-designed waveguide provides high-frequency dispersion in a well-controlled, predictable pattern. This ensures a widened listening “sweet spot” while at the same time preventing random scattering of the sound. The smoothly radiused “aerodynamic” cabinet edge prevents objectionably-audible artifacts from edge diffraction and the flared rear-firing bass ports eliminate distracting port turbulence from the speaker’s bass output.

ALL THE CONNNECTIONS YOU NEED
The Alesis M1 Active 330 USB speakers are not only substantial audio monitors, but also serve as a convenient audio interface. The M1 Active 330 USB speakers enable you to play audio from your computer, as well as record audio coming into the speaker to your computer. Line-level turntables, keyboards, guitar effects, DJ mixers, or standard CD and tape players can all easily connect directly to the M1 Active 330 USB speakers. Simply plug in the USB cable to your computer – No special drivers required.

FEATURES
  • Perfect for home studios, video editing, gaming and mobile devices
  • Integrated 16-bit (48kHz) USB audio interface for easy recording
  • Separate high- and low-frequency drivers with crossover
  • 3-inch aluminum low-frequency driver in ported enclosure delivers rich, tight bass
  • 1-inch silk dome tweeter provides smooth, clear highs
  • 10W per channel output power; 20W total
  • High-density wood cabinets suppress unwanted resonances
  • Elliptical tweeter waveguide optimizes dispersion and stereo imaging
  • Carefully formed baffle radiuses reduce edge diffraction"

M-Audio BX8-D3 monitors


Read through to know more about the M-Audio’s BX8-D3 monitors as indicated on M-Audio's website.

"Monitor Performance Starts with Driver ExcellenceA monitor’s drivers are the heart and soul of its performance. Driving the low-end and midrange, BX8-D3’s 8-inch military-grade Kevlar® woofers are rigid and lightweight, delivering outstanding transient response whist negating unwanted “cone breakup.” BX8- D3’s treated silk dome tweeter provides the perfect combination of low mass and the absence of audible resonances that plague conventional tweeters. Together, the BX drivers deliver critical detail, nuance and dynamic accuracy, so your mixes have the veracity and transparency you demand.

More Than Just an EnclosureWith M-Audio’s BX8-D3, every detail has been meticulously engineered with one goal in mind - to facilitate the freedom to mix with confidence. BX8-D3 monitors have a rear- mounted bass port, meticulously engineered to the exact length and diameter. The result? Deep, defined bass response with maximum bass extension and resolution. When combined with a smoothly-flared port, BX8-D3 monitors markedly reduce theaudibly-intrusive air turbulence that results when bass is played back at high sound pressure levels (SPLs). BX8-D3’s tweeter is mounted in a custom waveguide for reliably accurate dispersion that eliminates unwanted high-frequency “scatter,” whilst ensuring a soundstage that remains consistently wide and stable. For seamless setup and easy-location of the optimum listening position, the BX8-D3’s front-mounted positioning LED shines brightly when you’re located in the perfect listening spot, for uncompromisingly accurate and reliable critical evaluations. Finally, BX8-D3’s iconic design on the front panel—M-Audio’s famous “keyhole” shape—is more than just an attractive look: This special “fastenerless” design ensures so there are no driver attachment screw heads to interfere with the sound coming from our drivers.

High-Current, High Headroom Class A/B Bi-Amplified PowerEfficient and accurate: Driving the BX8-D3 monitors are two Class A/B internal amplifiers that power the woofer and tweeter separately - each optimised for the specific frequency range it handles and engineered to complement the characteristics of its companion driver. 

A precision-tuned crossover guarantees each driver only handles the frequencies that it produces most efficiently for a sound that is cohesive across the entire frequency spectrum. Play louder with less audible distortion: The BX8-D3 bi-amplified design is a far more efficient and accurate way to power a loudspeaker than using a single full-range amplifier to drive multiple driver elements.

Tailor-Made SoundAt M-Audio, we understand no two listening spaces are the same. Therefore, the BX8- D3 monitors custom tailors your sound to your environment, so you will always experience sonically-true, reassuringly-accurate sound reproduction. Negate problematic bass frequencies and limit the impact of nuisance standing waves thanks to BX8-D3’s special 
Acoustic Space control for precise adjustment of BX8-D3’s sound output in line with your studio space.

Connectivity CoveredWhatever your needs, the BX8-D3 Studio monitors guarantee to assimilate into your existing setup with ease. Combining conveniently-located, rear-mounted XLR and 1/4- inch balanced inputs, BX8-D3 connects to virtually all studio equipment including audio interfaces, mixers, DJ gear and more.

It’s Far More Than The Sum of Its PartsM-Audio’s BX8-D3 monitors excel in every way, the rightful successor to the original studio icon. Fusing superb drivers, meticulously engineered enclosures, great-sounding amplifiers, versatile control options and standardized connection facilities, BX8-D3 delivers sound quality you can trust.

Key Features
  • Bi-amplified design with 150 watts (80 LF, 70 HF) for powerful, accurate sound
  • 8” Kevlar low-frequency driver with high-temp voice coil and damped rubber surround
  • 1.25” natural silk dome tweeter delivers superb transient details
  • Computer-optimized tweeter waveguide for precise imaging
  • Acoustic Space Control to fine-tune low-end response to your room
  • Optimized rear port for extended low-frequency response
  • XLR balanced and 1/4” balanced/unbalanced inputs for connecting audio interfaces, mixers, synthesizers, DJ gear, and more
  • Volume control enables you to dial in the perfect monitor playback level
  • Wide range 37-22kHz frequency response covers full musical spectrum"

  • Design Origin: Designed and tuned in the USA


Expectations Exceeded.
The new Alto Professional Truesonic TS3 Series does everything you demand in a no-compromise family of professional loudspeakers. These speakers solve every performance and installation challenge you have. They are high-performance in every sense: Their new transducers and amplifiers enable them to play extremely loud and clear, without compromise or restriction. And they are “high-performance” from a concept and manufacturing standpoint—we made sure that every aspect of their design outperformed what it had to do. The end result are loudspeakers that achieve a level of excellence and refinement that defies expectations. Defies your expectations.

There are four models in the new TS3 range: The TS308, TS310, TS312 and TS315, with 8-10-12- and 15-inch woofers respectively. The range shares a new 2000-watt peak (1000-watt continuous) amplifier, a significant advance over the 1100-watt peak (550-watt continuous) amplifiers in the TS2.

The four models boast all-new low-frequency drivers, designed to play louder and handle more power than their already-impressive predecessors, the wildly-successful TS2 Series. They also have a new horn-loaded high-frequency driver. This impressive transducer has a brand-new heat sink design that provides exceptional heat dissipation for impressive power-handling, even at all-night-long concert levels. Because these new drivers can safely handle the additional power, the TS3’s take full advantage of the increased wattage and will play at higher SPLs with lower distortion.

We’ve even made the TS3’s easier to use, with an updated control panel and clearer control indications and detents that make for a faster, more precise setup.

2000 watts of bi-amplified power, newly-designed drivers and easier, more satisfying controls and setup—the new TS3 range doesn’t merely meet your requirements. It makes you re-think what’s possible."
