Space-saving desktop sound

The Elevate 5 MkII from Alesis are compact two-way monitor speakers which feature a forward-facing bass reflex system and excellent treble reproduction. The understated and modestly designed wooden casing houses an LF and an HF driver with waveguide, and a volume control, which also serves as an on/off switch, is located on the front of the right speaker together with a headphone output in 3.5mm mini-jack format and status LED. The RCA and 6.3mm jack inputs, left speaker output, a bass boost switch, power switch, and power plug socket are all located at the back of the speaker. An audio cable (RCA to 3.5mm stereo jack), the connecting cable for the left and right speakers, and a power cable are also included in the scope of delivery.

Active and passive – only complete as a pair

As the right-hand speaker is the active counterpart to the left, the Elevate 5 MkII can only be made available in pairs. The power amplifier delivers 40 watts per speaker – an output that is more than adequate for use in the near-field range. A bass reproduction of 80Hz is achieved courtesy of the eponymous 5" LF driver, while the 1" HF drivers with silk dome and waveguide ensure a wide sweet spot for a pleasing sound. Thanks to the forward-facing bass reflex openings, the speakers can also be positioned close to a wall – a feature that is particularly advantageous in small rooms.

For video producers, influencers, and gamers

As space-saving speakers for multimedia applications in small rooms, the Elevate 5 MkII deliver a sufficiently powerful sound with clear, transparent highs, a clean bass response, and excellent stereo reproduction, courtesy of their combined 80-watt output power. When combined with a subwoofer, the speakers deliver a rich sound that will delight video producers, influencers, and streaming gamers in equal measure. Given the extremely reasonable price tag, the quality of these speakers is nothing short of sensational, making this a budget-friendly purchase that will not disappoint.

About Alesis

Alesis was founded in 1984 by Keith Barr in Hollywood, California, and has become one of the leading manufacturers of signal processors, drum machines, synthesizers, and other studio equipment. The company’s most successful products during its early years were the MIDIverb, the HR-16 drum machine, and the ADAT multitrack digital recorders. In 2001, Alesis was acquired by Numark owner Jack O’Donnell and is now part of his InMusic parent company alongside brands like AKAI, Denon, and many other well-known names in the audio manufacturing industry. Alesis has also been a major player in the field of e-drums for many years and offers a large choice of products in all price ranges.

Multimedia, gaming, and desktop audio

The Elevate 5 MkII speakers from Alesis provide the perfect compromise for users looking for quality on a restricted budget. The compact design of the two speakers renders them ideal for use in areas where space is at a premium, making them primarily suited to domestic applications. Not only can the speakers be used to particularly advantageous effect in the video and gaming arenas (in the production of live streams and tutorials, for example), they are also suitable for producing music in bedroom studios, courtesy of their clean bass response and delivery of transparent highs, both of which are particularly beneficial in creating a clear mix.

Does the job!!
DawMan 06.05.2020
I use these as alternate monitors in my project studio and they sound just fine. They have a decent bass response and I can hear the low frequencies quite clearly all the way up to the high mids. They have a bass boost switch in case your room has you struggling to hear the low end, but you can also cut all the low to get the bass out of the way and give you a more accurate picture of your mix.
They are connected by one balanced jack which links the other speaker. This seems a bit cheap to me but they probably managed to cut some cost to bring the monitor's price point lower. They are quite light also. Most people will see this as a red flag. For the price however the sound response is quite accurate and does not exaggerate frequencies too much. This also depends on your room size, treatment etc.
I have mixed on these and found I was able to achieve an overall balanced sound without too much mud in the low mids. You could also look at these monitors like the old NS10's in that if you can make your mix sound really good on these then it should easily translate across to other monitors.
There is no posturing here, these monitors do a decent job but of course their price is an indication of the build and quality of the parts. If you are mixing in your bedroom you will find these a worthy consideration. These monitors are not Genelec but they are also not trying to be. They can also get nice and loud when you need to drive the signal a bit more.
Overall a worthy choice for any style of music. you could pair them with the HD9's or HD10's and switch between the two to make sure your getting an even balanced mix.

I cannot believe how good thee are for the money!
pieman 08.09.2017
these monitors are amazing for the money! they give good stereo spread and (in the room I use them in) get very loud indeed!

the headphone out on the monitors is handy and they sit on my Glorious Workbench as if they where made for it.

Very , Very happy with them.

As a side note, the monitors arrived faulty and I contacted Thomann for a replacement.

I'd just like to say that I live in the UK so if your worried about aftercare don't be. the customer support is astonishing. Absolutely no problem, they sent a returns note (that even had instructions for the post office counter clerk) and they informed me that my replacement set was set aside for me before I had even returned the faulty ones.

I cannot recommend Thomann enough, the best selection of products and the best customer support I have ever experianced,

Support them...you'll be glad you did

These speakers are very well made and a great buy in this price range.
I use them for recording or just listening to music and the sound is pleasant, precise even tho I would like it to have a bit more bass.
Easy to install and the fact that we just have to connect one speaker to the other is a big plus for me.
Very intuitive speakers! Recommended.

Hard to beat at this price range
Mixter 05.03.2021
Was looking for a decent pair of monitors without breaking the bank. I couldn't ask for more at this price range. I feed them with a UMC1820 which is hooked up to my main computer by USB, as well as my synths by their line outputs.

VERY powerful bass, which is probably what most people prefer, but personally I think it's just a tad too much (even with the bass boost set to OFF), so perhaps a little boomy for my taste. But no problem really, just use EQ to cut the bass a tiny bit and have no other complaints on the sound, well balanced registers and quite clear sound. Very powerful overall, I rarely turn the volume knob up more than to about 9 o'clock, or about 20-25%.

Pros: Balanced line inputs, as well as unbalanced RCA. (Note, do NOT plug in both RCA and line jacks at the same time, even if only using one at a time, because the circuitry amplifies the signal way too much, which means you could probably blow the speakers.)

Heavy and sturdy, which is a pro in my book.

Built-in transformer.

3.5mm headphone output on the front, with all other connections at the back.

Cons:
I personally would prefer a 6.35mm headphone output instead of 3.5mm

All in all, great value for not much money!
