Alesis Monitor One Mk2 Speaker Logo
Anonymous Posted on Sep 16, 2011

I lost the treble on both Alesis Monitor 1 speakers. The treble is good on the amp output toward the speakers. I'm thinking they went out one at a time and I didn't realize it until I lost the 2nd one. Could it be the circuit board in each? If so, can I purchase two of them?

    Thank you for your quick and accurate determination of my problem. I used your troubleshooting suggestion plus doing a continuity check across the termals of each tweeter convinces me that both are shot. I'll look into getting replacements now if I can still find them.

It's probably blown tweeters. But if you want to spend the money on a hipshot guess, try to find the the crossovers somewhere first; then find the readily available tweeters if/when that doesn't work out. Google "alesis monitor one MK2 tweeter".

You could test the tweeters by just removing one non-functional tweeter and wiring it directly to the speaker leads and with REALLY LOW volume containing NO BASS see if it makes any sound, which would prove it does/does not work.

Going forward, if the speakers sound stressed at high volume - THEY ARE. Too much power or too much distortion (overdriven amplifier) will kill speakers.

Testimonial: "Thanks very much for your quick and accurate determination of the problem. I used your troubleshooting tip and by all signs the tweeters are shot."

Just bought a Harbinger HX121M 2" Monitor, from Musicians Friend it did not come with a booklet on how to wire into my sound system it has two 1/4" jacks and a strange round plug about the size...

If you don't know how to connect this... well we don't either because you did not tell us what your sound system is. The larger plug is what is known as a "Speakon" connector and is a fairly reliable speaker connection that is used now. For your use you will PROBABLY use either of the 1/4 inch jacks with a cable from the amp that will drive the monitor(s). If you have multiple monitors you will daisy chain them using the 1/4 inch jacks and SPEAKER rated cables creating a string of speakers with input going into one and an output from the same one to the next speaker and so on...USUALLY you will be limited to two speakers per amp output...

I have the QSC PLX3602 connect from dbx pa as bridge mono to the sub woofer jbl mrx518. It works well. But now when I change it as stereo to the main jbl mrx515, I only hear the bass sound, no more...

Hi,

I don't think that there's anything wrong with the amp.
I'll think you're using a x-over, connected to the low-output.

Just a shot,

How do i go about connecting the alesis monitor one mk2's to my my laptop? i do not have an amp and there are no cables or connectors with the speakers when they arrive

You can without an amp in between. They are non-powered speakers and need an amp to drive them. If you connect your laptop to a mixer, mixer to an amp, then amp to speakers THEN they will work.

Alesis RA-100 amp is tinny

To test speakers get a 1.5 volt battery and put the (-)wire of the speaker to the negative end of the battery. Then take the + wire and for a split second touch the positive terminal of the battery. You should hear the speaker pop! Listen to each unit inside the speaker, any that don't pop are not working.
If you look inside the amp you may see that something has burnt up. Look carefully at whatever is on the heat sink.

Fuse blows found bad parts on the board...

Hi, Email Alesis and ask very nicely and they might email you a copy of the schematics, which also has the parts listed, etc.

I had the problem of the blinking LED's a few years back, really odd, and fixed it, and now I do a search and all I can find is people with the same problem or similar. Depending on how bad the damage is, it should be repairable unless its done extensive damage to the PCB board. PCB boards are still available to buy, dont bin it, they are too good to be binned ;)

Nad c370 problem....

Hi arda5
Did you try swapping speaker connections left for right on the back of the amp to isolate the problem. If the fault stays with the speaker, then that is where your problem is. Try this and get back to me here with the results.

Logitech r-20 speakers

Hi again andrew63,

There are two possible methods of adjusting the bass and treble output to your Logitech R20 speakers:
1. Hardware - if you feel like experimenting or working with electronic gadgets, you can connect an external preamp with tone control or graphic equalizer between the PC and the input of the speakers/amp; and/or (probably the easiest)
2. Use a software (to listen to your music files/medium) that has a virtual equalizer such the old MusicMatch Jukebox or as an add-on/plug in.

Btw, thanks for asking me to be a Tech Buddy.
