I've long been a stickler for 2.1 computer speaker systems, but after a couple of disappointing experiences I decided to try these, given their price was close to 60% that of the 2.1 systems I'd been accustomed to buying previously. The speaker design is compact and very space-efficient (flat sides are good for bookshelf placement, flat tops let you stack up if desk space is limited). The connecting cables are super-slim and not bulky or obnoxious to route to your PC: one USB cable and one connection from the right speaker to the left. The additional inputs (RCA, stereo mini and quarter-inch mono) are useful and very welcome for audio pros with lots of different sources for audio. The USB codec built into the speakers can feed audio back to the connected PC for digital recording... I've never used it but I look forward to trying it soon. Sound quality is very good for speakers in this size and cost segment. I'd say 8.5 out of 10, with a good spectral balance and clarity along with excellent power. For most of my listening, I don't need to push the volume past the 50% mark get sufficient volume. There's a stereo mini headphone jack on the front to the right speaker. The power cable is modular, which is very important in case this cable is lost or damaged. The one teeny tiny demerit as far as hardware design goes is the super-bright blue LED on the front of the right speaker. If you leave the speakers on at night, this LED will really zap your eyes and light up the room. I put a small square of yellow electrical tape over it to mute it to a tolerable dim green color. But don't let this scare you off... this is an excellent set of monitors for their size and cost. I might even pick up a second set for my office at work. Review: Proud new owner of these AlesisM1s..so far so good - Call me easily impressed, but I just got these babies tonight and plugged 'em right in to my HP notebook, switched over to them as primary sound device, two seconds install, and they are phenomenal as far as I'm concerned. I'm sure they'll require some burn-in time, but man, for a budget pair of USB monitors, or even just to use as a pair of primary PC speakers for everyday usage, these obviously rock! Yeah, the bass might not be overpowering but they sound tight as hell, clean, transparent, and have that crystal clarity that a good pair of monitors should have. They are compact, reasonably light although the right speaker the primary controller one, has a bit of weight to it, but they fit in just fine on my smaller PC desk no problem. I'll come back later on here in a month and see if the sound has burnished in or not. But so far, I'm super impressed with these Alesis monitors and would recommend them with no reservation to anybody trying to build a small home studio, or hobbyists, or just anybody that wants some solid and pro.-level home audio system for their PC, or old-school setup, or whatever it might be. They are attractive, compact, well-designed, easy to use, and the packaging and instructions/documentation are well-executed and well-thought out. The USB is what sold me on these particular speakers: so useful, fast setup, and no software hassles to speak of as long you are using a reasonably recent PC or MAC or whatever your machine might be. Plug 'em in, plug the USB in, and the interconnect L/R speakers and you are off and running! You do not have to be an audio engineer to use these and enjoy immediately. Which just rocks, what can I say. Your average home theater system is a lot more complex than these, that's for sure. They also have PLENTY of power...for a small room it's doubtful you'll ever turn the main knob up past say, 12 or 1 o'clock, the power is that massive. And mind you we're talking about monitors with what, a 3" woofer and small tweeters, basic 2-way setup? Alesis has hit a home run here, methinks. I'm sure their top of the line would be better, but if you want to spend $500-2000 go ahead. Not necessary unless you are doing absolute pro. work and need the top shelf pro. models. Otherwise these will kick your arse! One thing that strikes me about these is in a small room like I'm using them in, the punch and clarity and sheer impact is so concentrated, who the hell needs a massive subwoofer! And, the bass extension switch really does add a nice extra bass punch, and it's not muddy at all to my ears thus far. So they deliver what Alesis promises, a rare thing in pro. audio these days. A lot of new headphones for example do not deliver what they promise performance-wise, but these monitors do for sure. If you want to hear your music with total punch and clarity and transparency, these should be at the top of your home recording/listening shopping list! ## Features - Stereo monitors with integrated USB audio interface; 3-inch woofer and 1-inch tweeter - 16-Bit / 44.1-48kHz recording and playback - Features stereo 1/8-inch (3.5mm), RCA and 1/4-inch (6.3mm) inputs - Includes a front-mounted 1/8-inch stereo headphone output - Full, rich acoustics with a frequency response up to 20kHz - Switchable power supply ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0011Z87I0 | | Additional Features | The Alesis M1Active 320 USB-audio speaker system is the new world-class standard for USB audio playback and capture.

These fit the bill perfectly because they are compact and have a really nice sound. They also have up to 4 input sources that are summed (stereo 1/4" rca, stereo 1/8" mini jack, stereo trs jacks, and USB) - this allows you to have multiple sources playing simultaneously if you want. That's nice for my purposes because I sometimes like to play the keyboard along with music on my iPod. The USB is also an output so you can record the output (all summed inputs) on a computer if you want. When the headphones are inserted, the speakers are automatically silenced. I designed the keyboard stand you see in the customer photos to fit these exact speakers. The Alesis are better than most of the built-in speakers you get with a portable keyboard and these certainly offer more functionality. The outer shell of these are some type of hard plastic - they feel well made - not cheap. The only real issue I have with these is that the cable they provide for connecting up the two speakers is too short - only about 3 ft. So if you want to separate these by a distance of more than 3ft. you'll have to buy a longer cable (1/8" mini jack on both ends). Pros: - nice sound - plenty loud - *compact (5" x 7.5" x 6"; Width of front face x Height of front face x Depth of cabinet) - active (amplifier built-in) - 4 input sources - sturdy construction - volume pot is quiet when turned (hopefully will remain that way) Cons: - blue power LED a bit too bright - cable provided for tethered speaker could be longer (it's about 3 ft.) *note that the Alesis manual has mislabeled the dimensions in the pdf manual on their site (as of 121116). The dimensions I provide above are accurate. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/861804-alesis-m1a320usbxus-active-320-usb-full-range-studio-monitor-desktop](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/861804-alesis-m1a320usbxus-active-320-usb-full-range-studio-monitor-desktop) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-11-01*
