Engineering Stdement
Your new Alesis Point Seven Shielded Reference Monitors are intended for very
space linited
recording environments, for use in close proxirnity
to a computer
monitor or when portability
is a requirement.
Tonally, every effort has been made to emulate the accurate studio sound of Alesis'
own Monitor One with slightly less deep bass extension. The "Point Seven"
desigrration refers to the Seven's 5 | / 4" woofer piston area as being seven tenths the
piston area of the Monitor One's 6 1. / 2" woofer. The Point Seven's newly developed
silk doqne tweeter offers a frequency response to 27kHz, which has been tailored
specifically for non-fatiguing
near-field monitoring.
lf you're in a hurry to get starteil with thc Point Seoens, skip ahead to Chapter 2, "spealcer
Instalhtion" , for connection and placerneflt tips.
The Point Seven's 5 1 / 4" woofer cone is made of proprietary
non-woven carbon fiber.
This material is 25% lighter than polypropylene
with twice the stiffness for quicker
transient response in the low-to-midbass
region and improved midrange
intelfigibility.
The non-woven carbon fiber cone, along with the closed cell synthetic
rubber surround, are both materials which are nearly impervious to ozone, direct
sunlight, heat and humidity.
Therefore, after the initial break-in period (about 20
hours), the sound should remain virtually
unchanged for the life of the product.
The Seven's shield"d t*""t"r
ntt'tt.es a vented pole piece with a separate rear
chamber to lower the free air resonance. This high Q (very highly damped) design
feafures a pure silk dome, an intemal pole-piece-mounted
phasing plug and low
viscosity ferrofluid formulated specifically to retain the best balance of transient
respons€ to power handling.
