ProVenue Series Speakers

At Winter NAMM, Alesis introduced the GigaMix series of powered mixers and the ProVenue series of passive PA monitors. These series of live sound products complement each other perfectly and will be offered in four unique packages, as well as individually.

The Alesis GigaMix series includes three powered mixers, each with 100 28-bit digital effects built in, as well as post-fader effects send and return for external effects. There is also 3-band active EQ on every input channel, a high-pass "rumble filter" on the main outputs, master tape send and return for recording and playback, and a footswitch input for effects bypass.

The GigaMix 8FX features 8 XLR mic and 1/4" line inputs (6 mono, 2 stereo), dual 9-band graphic EQs, and 400 Watts of power per channel with switchable stereo main out, or mono main and mono monitor outputs. The GigaMix 6FX features 6 channels of XLR mic and 1/4" line inputs (4 mono, 2 stereo), dual 9-band graphic EQs, and 300 Watts of power per channel with switchable dual mono main out, or mono main and mono monitor outputs. The GigaMix 4FX features 4 channels of XLR mic and 1/4" line inputs plus two channels with stereo line inputs, a single 9-band graphic EQ and 200 Watts of power with mono main output.

The Alesis ProVenue series are passive 2-way PA speakers. Built with a rugged polycarbonate casing and powder-coated metal grill, each ProVenue offers SpeakOn and 1/4" TRS connectors, recessed M8 mounting hardware, carrying handles, and a 35mm pole mount with twist fastener. The casing is angled for optional operation as a floor wedge at 30 or 60 degrees.

The ProVenue 1501 features 300 Watts RMS of power handling with a 15" woofer and 1" compression driver with a frequency response of 45Hz to 18kHz. The ProVenue 1201 features 200 Watts RMS of power handling with a 12" woofer and 1" compression driver with a frequency response of 70Hz to 18kHz.

Alesis will also offer the following "GigaPack" live sound packages:
