Alesis M1 Active MK2 Biamplified Reference Monitor not working

My Alesis M1 Active MK2 Biamplified Reference Monitors are a few years old. One of them has sometimes refused to work. The blue indicator light blinks instead of staying on. It would usually come on after a few times switching it on and off. Now it just blinks and there is no sound. The other one works perfectly. Is this common? Can it be fixed? Where should I send it? Thanks for your help in this.

Hi Mate, This seems to be a common problem now, go here looks like you need a new capacitor or two, possibly a resistor aswell depending.

Alesis M1 Active 620 studio monitor cutting out

I see from the manual there are several controls on the speaker that could affect the sound in the way you describe (gain, hi- and mid-boost, acoustic space). Why don't you compare the actions of each control with the working speaker as the standard and a test tone or FM noise as the source? It might help you to identify a specific internal function that has changed. After that, someone's going to have to crack it open and do surgery.

You might also try using the opposite input (TRS vs XLR) than the one you're using. It might reveal something.

Alessis 620 monitors, only the base end coming out of the speakers does anyone know why?

Check for the fuse in the high frequency amplifier.

Alesis M1 Active Mk2 Speaker won't Power Up

Hi, This is usually the Capacitor C8 on the powerboard it usually bulges and pops, its becuase its right next to a resistor which gets very hot and sometimes puts the capacitor into meltdown, yours might have gone past that stage but this is worth a look; http://www.neufeld.newton.ks.us/electronics/?p=232

Hope this helps

Cheers

Steve

Alesis m1 mk2 active emits low pitch hum and does not work

You need to take a closer look really, see if anything on the power supply board inside has melted, burned, popped, etc.
