|Made my life EASY,
Mark does an incredible job of taking the guess work out of setting up sound for rooms of all types and configurations. Follow his easy to understand plan, and you will look like a pro. I think the best thing is when NO ONE NOTICES the audio at an event. I know that when I notice things, it is because they sound so bad.
Thanks Mark!

|Alesis TransActive Mobile & ION Block Rocker virtually identical @ an excellent price:,
Alesis TransActive Mobile & ION Block Rocker virtually identical @ an excellent price:
In case you have done some research and also happened to stumble on the ION Block Rocker while contrasting with the Alesis TransActive Mobile, you need not do too much comparison if you have all information available for these two units before realizing that they are both built on virtually the same housing chassis and contain virtually all of the same internal electronics and feature capabilities. As a matter of fact, they are also built at the same manufacturing plant in Cumberland, RI. Whether or not ION is some sort of subsidiary of Alesis or shares some common denominators with them on a corporate level, or if, simply, some of their gear happens to be made at the same plant, I do not know, but I do have both of these units and can tell you that they are both excellent for their intended purposes, especially for the purchase price. The Alesis can be purchased at 200.00 including shipping, and the ION for 170.00, also including shipping…both through Amazon. Considering they are both pretty much the same unit, obviously the ION is a slightly better value.
Both have a very good sound on the high and midrange levels for a PA of their size, and a somewhat limited bass due to the diaphragm size of the conventional push-pull woofer driver. Both are easy to use from a standpoint of feature accessibilities, with gain controls and line and mic inputs all on the front panel, as well as a 1/4″ instrument jack and separate volume controls for each input.
Minor differences: the Alesis has the on/off, power chord outlet, stereo quarter inch speaker output for accommodating a second passive speaker for stereo sound, IPod charge switch and battery level meters on a top rear panel while the ION has them on the right side. Aside from the color differences (Alesis is black while the ION is white), other minor differences are that the ION has recessed side handles while the Alesis has metal retracting handles which, given the weight of the unit, does feel like it is under some stress while lifting. The telescoping tote-handle and rubberized castors for rolling these units are both pretty much identical. Both are good features and well-manufactured in order to make transport on smooth surfaces more manageable.
The microphones and mic chords are also identical, and are good quality considering they are included accessories. One last difference is that the Alesis also includes a quarter inch to XLR audio chord in addition to the AC power and mic chords, while the ION just includes the power and mic chords.
Considering these units were priced out with an MSRP of 400.00 – 600.00 each, they are definitely worth every penny for a portable PA with power to size output, good sound, ease of use, and additional features, especially the IPod doc. I am speculating that after observing and utilizing both of these units first hand, the only reason the ION has a lower MSRP is that it was manufactured to be a more cost-effective line in comparison the well-known and long-established Alesis brand, even though it couldn’t cost any less to manufacture the ION.

|Awesome Sound,
I’ve been wanting to add speakers outside by the pool, but it was going to be difficult to run all the speaker wire. Instead I got the transactive mobile and I am very happy with it. I was surprised at how much power it has. I can set it on the pool deck and hear the sound perfectly on the other side of the pool (40′ away) with the volume not even turned up half way. It works with my iPod classic and all the iPods the kids own so anyone can put in their music. You can even charge your iPod from the built in rechargeable battery. It also has an auxillary input with RCA jacks so I was able to hook up my portable XM radio and listen to XM too.
The rechargeable battery lasts a long time. I’ve used it over 12 hours and the charge is still good. It has a battery indicator with 3 green lights and one red light when you need to charge it. After 12 hours, I still have 2 out of 3 green lights lit up.
You can also use it as an amp for a guitar. My son has hooked up his bass guitar and played along with the various songs playing from his iPod. Plus it comes with a microphone so you can sing along too. It’s the ultimate karoke machine (if you know the words) with someone playing guitar while another person sings.
It has a retractable handle and wheels like a suitcase so it is very easy to move it around. You will be very happy if you get this product.
