North Kingstown, RI,
December 20, 2002 – Alesis today announced a new THX-certified 5.1 speaker
system, the Alesis ProActive 5.1. The ProActive 5.1 is equipped with Dolby® Digital and
DTS® hardware decoding for true 5.1 digital sound. This is the first system to deliver
THX-certified surround sound to the Pro Audio and Music Industry market at an estimated
street price of $399.00. The ProActive 5.1 is the ideal solution for the home recording
studio, with simultaneous use with multiple audio sources including PCs, home audio and
recording equipment, and other sources such as DVD players and portable audio players.
The ProActive 5.1 is a THX-certified, 5.1-surround sound system with 450 watts of RMS
power. Its high-end features include: Eight-inch, long throw subwoofer driver with a
flared bass port for powerful, distortion-free bass. Dolby® Pro Logic II for creating
realistic 5.1 surround sound from stereo music, movies and games. Digital optical and
coaxial inputs, as well as six channel analog inputs, for simple connection to nearly any
audio device. The system is controlled by a digital console with a wireless remote, for
easy adjustment of the speaker controls from anywhere in the room.
"Alesis is known for leading products, including our line of professional studio
reference monitors," said John E. "Jack" O’Donnell, CEO of Alesis.
"This year we are entering the 5.1 surround sound speaker category, with the
introduction of the ProActive 5.1. This 5.1 system offers THX-certification, includes
Dolby Digital and DTS hardware decoding, and simultaneously connects to up to four
different audio sources. This system brings the innovation and power that Alesis is known
for in the professional studio to the desktop workstation and beyond – at an
incredible price."
THX certification involves rigorous testing of sound performance, user interface and
construction. All speakers that receive THX certification must meet stringent performance
parameters, including: bandwidth, frequency balance, peak sound pressure levels and the
ability to play up to their rated output level. The ProActive 5.1 exceeds these
requirements, and has received the THX seal of approval.
Alesis manufactures a full line of professional
audio and musical instrument products capitalizing on its strengths in digital, analog,
semiconductor, and transducer technologies. Alesis delivers revolutionary product
solutions to the music and audio production industries. Alesis – 12555 Jefferson Ste.
