Alesis Strike Amp 8 MK2-2000W Drum Amp Speaker for Electric Drum Set with Bluetooth, 8" Woofer, HPF EQ and Ground-Lift Switch

I’ve had this product for almost a year, haven’t had any issues with it. I’ve plugged instruments straight into it, and I’ve used a sound board. It works great with everything, and the Bluetooth feature is super useful and simple to use. Plugging a mic straight in tends to be a little quiet, but works fine if you run it through an audio interface. Makes for a great monitor, but can also be used as a loudspeaker when necessary. It has a nice carrying handle, and it can take a hit. 10/10 would recommend, and probably will buy again.

Very nice amp. Very easy to hook up to your electronic drum set. The sound is great.

I bought these recently to upgrade from my 2000w Alesis Strike amps that I purchased with my Strike Pro SE. I play professionally and have thoroughly enjoyed the original Alesis amps. The positives of these 2500w units are: the shape - the new monitor shape makes a huge difference in being able to face one up at me and one out at the audience. With the old units, I would have to wedge them somehow to get them facing at the right angle. Also, the Bluetooth connection is great to start break music from my phone without any wiring issues. Just be aware of which speaker you are connecting to. The blue light on the front is nice too. Tells me they're on without checking out back. The output feature is also nice. I can run signal out of the speakers and into mains if I need to without trying to figure out some Y connector rig up. Finally, on the plus side, the overall sound is an improvement. Definitely not as harsh in the mids and highs, and the low end is more solid. The negative: headroom is greatly reduced in these units. I had to reconfigure all of my output volumes to even get close to the 7.5 that I ran the old volumes at. These amps are definitely lower output volumes. I still have the 2000w units and have A/B'd them in my studio. No contest. The older units are louder. That's a big deal when you're trying to cut through the rest of your power trio. Before the first gig with these new units I almost thought I couldn't use them because of the volume issue. Overall, after dialing them in, most changes are positive. Rock on!

Great amp. Plenty loud. A bonus was being able to Bluetooth your song and play drums to it at the same time with independent volume controls.

This review is for the 12 inch speaker amp, My Alesis drums sound pretty good, lots of lower end, higher end, and everything in between. To be good and loud I have to crank it to ten. Bluetooth from my phone playing music is crazy loud, I've only put it to like 7 or 8 max, didnt even want to try louder than that. so much boom from that 12 inch sp.. Playing along with music thru it is soo much fun, holy hell. The cabinet is beefy and heavy, two awesome handles for packing it around. I can only imagine having two of these in stereo,, I got a "like new" one, which was brand new, just a slightly beat up box, but it was well packed and protected with foam, not a scratch. WOW. Im happy with this purchase. I haven't tried a mic thru it yet, or guitar tho.

Amazing product with great sound Very valuable

Se ve d buena calidad bonita y se escucha muy bien

i use my alesis strata prime with this amp. it works great. can get extremely loud. only complaint is the bass could be a bit better, but all in all for what i use it for its great

Overall very happy with my purchase based on quality and value. Kick drum is bassy and snare and cymbals are crisp. You won't get headphone quality but for value to cost, it is a decent drum amp. I mainly use it for practice at home.

This speaker was an excellent addition to my son’s Alesis Crimson 2 drum kit. Since it is made by the same brand, everything worked perfectly together from the beginning. The power and impact for drums are genuinely impressive. What surprised me most is how versatile it became in our house. We have connected tablets to listen to music around the house, used it for karaoke sessions with friends and family, taken it to parties, and even connected our piano to it. It handles all of that very well and makes everything more fun. One important thing people should understand is that this speaker was specifically designed for electronic drums. Because of that, other instruments and softer music styles can sound slightly sharper or more aggressive compared to a speaker made specifically for hi-fi listening. This speaker loves strong drum hits, rock music and energetic sound. If you love rock and roll like I do, this speaker is absolutely brilliant. For karaoke, parties and general fun, it performs wonderfully. However, if you are extremely perfectionist about soft piano tones, jazz or classical music, then maybe this is not the absolute perfect speaker for those genres specifically. It will still sound good and enjoyable, but its personality is clearly focused on powerful percussion and energetic music. For what it was designed to do, this thing is incredible. Honestly, five stars feels too low. It deserves a much higher rating.

Very happy with this Christmas present for my son. He was extremely happy

Por li que vale creo que debería incluir soportes de goma, al menos, para proteger la caja del contacto contra el suelo y amortiguar vibraciones. Un fusible de recambio no estaría de más. La zona donde se localizan las conexiones etc., no queda fácilmente accesible en montaje horizontal. Por lo demás, el sonido es de calidad probado con una alesis nitro max y bluetooth simultáneamente (iphone) aunque no percibo los 2500 W anunciados. Habra que medirlos, no se. Un sencillo ecualizador para la entrada bluetooth se echa de menos.

Rendu sonore excellent pour ma batterie alesis crimson mesh kit SE. La qualité, y compris sur la diffusion de musique en bluetooth, est vraiment top. Je recommande !
