| The Alesis ProLinear 820 DSP continues the new standard in near-field monitors that was set by the ProLinear 720 DSP. With the same Alesis’ custom DSP technology, they've designed a speaker with same sound quality and accuracy but with extended bass and greater output. This allows the speaker to be used as a mid-field monitor as well as near-field. As with the 720 DSP, the internal processing allows user flexibility to configure the speaker for almost any application via the front panel control or the included graphical PC application software. Drivers The woofer has a cast frame with an 8” Kevlar-Carbon cone and oversized magnet assembly. The Kevlar-Carbon cone has an outstanding stiffness-to-weight ratio to minimize distortion, extend bass response and provide excellent transient response. The magnet assembly provides high linearity and good efficiency. In the 820 cabinet, the woofer is flat down to 39hz (-3db, anechoically) with harmonic distortion typically below .4% above 50hz. The CrossoverWith Alesis’ custom DSP processing, the crossover for the drivers achieves a linearity that is usually unachievable in analog monitors. This allows a smooth transition of the sound between the tweeter and woofer as well as providing proper time domain coherency. In other words, the speaker is as accurate as the drivers. The DSP also allows us to smooth out the frequency response far more effectively than is normally possible with analog monitors. The response is typically better than +/- 1dB between 100hz and 20Khz. The CabinetSince the 820’s cabinet is larger than the 720, heavy bracing was included to minimize any cabinet resonances. In addition, a coating of bitumen was applied to the inner walls to further deaden the cabinet. Venting was optimized to eliminate most of the vent noise, or “chuffing”, that can occur at low bass frequencies. ElectronicsThe ProLinear is bi-amplified with typically 80 watts for the woofer and 40 watts for the tweeter. (In actuality, the woofer and tweeter are both powered at 80 watts, but because of the higher efficiency and lower power content to the tweeter, only about 40 watts is needed to match the 80 watts to the woofer.) The amplifiers are low distortion, wide band devices that are self-protected to prevent damage to the drivers. Inputs are either analog XLR or ¼” TRS, so digital mixers and sources are not required. |
