Alesis Elevate 5 MKII

Does the job!!

Perfect beginner’s choice. Don’t hesitate to buy.

Sound is great, less optimal for mixing

Recommended.

These speakers are very well made and a great buy in this price range.

I use them for recording or just listening to music and the sound is pleasant, precise even tho I would like it to have a bit more bass.

Easy to install and the fact that we just have to connect one speaker to the other is a big plus for me.

Very intuitive speakers! Recommended.

Amazing

Never had one of this, for this price that has this type of sound.

They are very equilibrate.

You should have those.

Really good speakers

Good speakers for a producer on a budget

Great value for money

I bought these for my home studio and use them for recording/mixing/mastering.

They are loud enough for home setting.

I like the bass boost option.

Overall good value for money (I think they were the cheapest 5" option)

Hard to beat at this price range

Was looking for a decent pair of monitors without breaking the bank. I couldn't ask for more at this price range. I feed them with a UMC1820 which is hooked up to my main computer by USB, as well as my synths by their line outputs.

VERY powerful bass, which is probably what most people prefer, but personally I think it's just a tad too much (even with the bass boost set to OFF), so perhaps a little boomy for my taste. But no problem really, just use EQ to cut the bass a tiny bit and have no other complaints on the sound, well balanced registers and quite clear sound. Very powerful overall, I rarely turn the volume knob up more than to about 9 o'clock, or about 20-25%.

Pros: Balanced line inputs, as well as unbalanced RCA. (Note, do NOT plug in both RCA and line jacks at the same time, even if only using one at a time, because the circuitry amplifies the signal way too much, which means you could probably blow the speakers.)

Heavy and sturdy, which is a pro in my book.

Built-in transformer.

3.5mm headphone output on the front, with all other connections at the back.

Cons:

I personally would prefer a 6.35mm headphone output instead of 3.5mm

All in all, great value for not much money!

Would totally recommend for this price.

I used M-Audio bx5a's and Genelec 8040's in my old studio. I needed a small monitor for my home mixes, so i tried Alesis Elevate 5 MKII, I would say for this price, It is of course not comparable to Genelec 8040's but they are definitely as good as BX5's.

I can mix clearly with those monitors and also listening to music is very pleasurable. For a 5" speaker you would need to know what to expect, it is not possible to clearly hear below around 65hz and I do not use bass boost function as it sounds an unnatural boost around 80 - 160 hz. I use my headphones for sub - bass mixes with those monitors.

Overall i am very happy with the purchase and i find those speakers very good quality for their price.

Great speakers

Exactly what I needed for mixing...very clear and very loud set of speakers - cannot fault them, only now I can hear my mistakes clearly too.

Good Monitors for a production/ music student

It's a fair price for these two monitors, since they perform well and have a good pair of adjustments that can make them sound better in different environments, although the switch button being in the back still makes me mad. The transient response is okay, expectable from the property of the cones. I think they are suited for beginner students looking forward to the studio life, or just mixing alternate support monitors to review your mixes.
