MODEL COMPARISON
How it compares
Alpha 65 Evo sits between the 5-inch Alpha 50 Evo and 8-inch Alpha 80 Evo. It is a sensible comparison when the 80’s larger cabinet is difficult to accommodate.
For music and cinema, its RCA line inputs offer a way to keep a compatible DAC or preamplifier with volume control. Built-in amplification makes the speakers and that source a practical starting point for a music system.
DESIGN
What makes Alpha 65 Evo distinctive?
Work with the available source
Balanced XLR/TRS and unbalanced RCA inputs accept line-level audio. Bass and treble trims provide local adjustment after the basic placement is settled.
SYSTEM SETUP
Connections and placement
Source and volume control
- Use a compatible XLR, TRS or RCA line-level connection from a DAC or preamplifier with volume control, a monitor controller or an audio interface. Confirm output level and volume control before connecting. Amplification is built in; do not connect a power amplifier’s speaker output.
Room and listening position
- Match left/right placement around the listening position and check reflections from desks and nearby walls. Use measurement to assess the bass response at the seat.
