View Full Version : M-Box with Powered speakers

I have narrowed my search for speakers to use with the M-Box to Alesis
ProLinear 720 DSP.
Is this something I could use with the M-Box?
The M-Box seems to have different outputs from the 720's input.

Here is a link: http://alesis.com/products/ProLinear720DSP/

Are there any adaptors available to match the input/output's?

Thanks.

Why? I never liked the way those sounded at all.

Sure.

That's what cables are for.

Buy the speakers you like the sound of, THEN worry about what you need
to hook them up. It's hard enough to find anything you can live with
at all.

Scott, thank you for the advise.
Is there anything you could think of in the 300-350 range that you could
point out to me?
I'm going to hook it directly to the M-Box.
I need speakers that'll represent a classical guitar and a voice fairly
decently.

Thanks.

You won't find anything in that price range that will come close to giving
you an accourate vocal sound, but consider something like a used pair of
the NHT Super Ones, or the small PSBs, or the old Paradigm Mini Mk IIIs,
and an external amplifier. You can use an old stereo receiver as a first
cut until you can afford a better amp.

But don't buy ANY speaker until you have spent some good time listening to it.
