Alesis Pro Linear 820 DSP Studio Monitor 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, we have 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. Features: It Begins with the Drivers. Any great speaker design starts with the best drivers and the Alesis custom drivers are exceptional. The woofer has a cast frame with an 8 Kevlar-Carbon cone and oversized magnet assembly. The Kevlar-Carbon cone has 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 DSP cabinet, the woofer is flat down to 39hz (-3db, anechoically) with harmonic distortion typically below .4% above 50hz. The tweeter is a 28mm silk dome that has a very flat frequency response with a low resonance to reduce harshness. The tweeter is ferro-fluid cooled to provide good power handling and well-behaved response. Distortion is typically below 0.3% over its operating range. The tweeters computer designed waveguide was optimized for nearfield placement but provides excellent imaging in most other placements. Both drivers are shielded and allow the user to place the speakers within a few inches of a CRT. The Cabinet v Since the 820 DSP cabinet is larger than the 720 DSP, 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. Why Use DSP? 1. The Crossover With 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 with analog monitors. The response is typically better than +/- 1dB between 100hz and 20Khz. 2. Speaker Emulation and Modeling using the Programmable EQ There are 4 programmable, user controlled, fully parametric equalizer bands to adjust the speaker to a desired response. The speaker has 16 stored programs (8 PRESETS and 8 pre-defined USER variable settings) as described by the following table: PRESET USER: 1. Flat 1. Warmth 2. Hi-Fi (Smile) 2. Bass Boost 3. White Cone 3. Bass Cut 4. Faux Finnish 4. Treble Boost 5. Studio Cube 5. Treble Cut 6.
