ALTO TS408 2000W 8-Inch Powered PA Speaker with 3 Channel Mixer, Bluetooth Streaming, Wireless Loudspeaker Linking, DSP and ALTO App

Whats not to like in a speaker sounding this good at this price?! I've had audiophile standard equipment most my life up until about a decade ago. Rel, Arcam, Monitor Audio, Rainbow e.t.c. So I think I know a good sound when I hear one. I missed that full, engaging sound having been using just a small JBL bluetooth speaker, and a QTX 12" busking PA since then, so I decided to give this Alto 10 a go having heard other similar ones including the Alto 12's, Mackie Thump 12's and 15's. I wanted something I could use not only as a bluetooth device on my phone, laptop and TV, but also for my Karaoke set up. I was actually only after the 8" version of the Alto due to space, but the price is so similar I went for the 10". Genuinely impressed! This Alto is brilliant. Hard to believe how good the low end is while still retaining mid clarity. Obviously its no audiophile standard, but for just ONE speaker that I can use in all the applications I wanted its superb. It gives "nightclub" levels of feeling in the small space I'm using it. Absolute bargain price for this level of sound (and I dont mean volume, but it is LOUD too). There's no point mentioning how it compares to my QTX 12" PA speaker because it simply doesnt. The only negatives I can find with it are the bluetooth is laggy, which doesnt matter if you're just playing music but if you intend it to be synched with visuals like a tv or karaoke lyrics it would need to be wired (which is how I'll use it for those two anyway). I've not tried it with my karaoke set up yet (as Im waiting for the neighbours to go out!) but I cant wait for that! Also when pairing the voice telling you its pairing comes in at max volume which is a bit silly. Neither of the above are a problem as such, just giving my honest opinion on this fantastic speaker. Despite the reviews on the Appstore, I find the phone app for controlling it really good too. I cant see how anyone could be disappointed with this speaker at this price. If you're considering something like this all I can say is buy one. Brilliant.

Sturdy, great quality, works great for sound at small venue, only at 60% volume and already more than adequate. Took me a few days to realize that there are two options for connecting Bluetooth, and if you choose the wrong one you won’t be able to stream music through it. You have to chose the “Alto TS410” option.

I used these to host a large open-mic event where these were driven from an Behringer XR18 / Midas MR18. I drove them hard without additional active sub-bass cabs and was delighted with the bass response. Getting the right input signal level takes some effort and out of the box the output level can appear low [out of the box the gain and need initially configuring to your needs]. I used these with 15 inch active subs and they were more than adequate for the 250 person venue. I believe the sweet spot for these speakers is around 300 people. This comes down to getting to know the kit and its EQ app and levels etc. etc. and (of course)v reading the manual. If you pair these with some active subs (I have Behringer VPQ1500D) the sound produced can easily be uncomfortably loud indicating that when your TS415s are not trying to push the lower frequencies and are shelved correctly they can produce a crisp (clean) but muscular soundscape (supported bass). This us another case of read the flippin' manual to get this right (especially around signal routing). If you're looking to host a Drum and Bass band using just TS415 s on their own you'll be on to a loser but as part of a balanced active soundscape they certainly deliver the mid and top end. The bluetooth paring and play back is really handy during stand up and intervals but like everything with these active speakers will require you to *ACTUALLY* read the manual (especially if you want to pair the speakers to eachother and then pair your phone to the paired speakers). If you need an entry level digital sound processing active speaker product these are ideal and I would hazard a guess they push out about 120 dBa at 1M (at a push 125? - I'd like to get an accurate meter them to confirm) as opposed to the advertised 132 continuous and 135 peak. These are not an alternative to some of the higher end brands but will be ideal if you are looking to transition from bargain basement analogue into cheaper / mid-range digital sound processing kit and as a stepping stone to something higher quality. Recommended for gigging bands, open mics, solo shows in small, and medium venues up to around 250 people. My entire rig including subs fits in the back of a station-wagon / estate car.

For the money I’m yet to hear better - I’ve got the 15’s and they bang. Needed this for a small event very low key, it’s amazing. The sound (for the budget) is great. I’ve got Mackie thump go 8” which was twice the price - the alto is fantastic and to me sounds better. Yes you can spend more and probably tell yourself you hear more, but I doubt it. Decent low end and easy to eq in the app. Never had a problem with connection- can’t recommend Alto TS enough. No one on the dance floor cares what brand you have, but they all comment how good the sound is. Also paired with my Mackie sub and it’s great. Also used for casual listening and it’s brilliant.

good sound quality, value for money, and a nice appearance,lightweight and easy to transport, with a stable Bluetooth connection. For the price is versatile, but if you want good quality speakers, then you need to remove these extras.

Excellent sounds

Nöjd med högtalaren, levererades med en liten skada men Amazon supporten löste det supersnabbt!

Sonido profesional muy nítido, con mucha ganancia, tienen un gran golpe en los bajos sin utilizar un subwoofer, es un equipo de primera, lo utilizo en formato solista y en banda rock y cumple totalmente.

PUNTOS A FAVOR -Tiene un gran sonido como lo promete, bastante claro y unos bajos muy buenos -La música se escucha clara, la conexión es rápida. -La APP es sencilla pero bastante intuitiva -El volumen del Bluetooth, es independiente y se conecta con facilidad. -El cable de alimentación eléctrica, se ve que es de buen calibre (hay que cuidarlo es mas grueso que el de una PC) -Puedes elegir si lo que conectas (por canal) solo es señal o micrófono. -Tiene varios pre-ajustes de EQ, en la APP y en la bocina, bastantes buenos y muy bien explicados en el manual. -Puedes ponerla en un Tripie, sin problemas. -Tiene entradas en la parte superior e inferior para ponerlas aéreas. PUNTOS EN CONTRA -Cuando buscas el Bluetooth, lanza 2 conexiones, el de la APP y el de la bocina, si andas a las prisas te puedes equivocar con facilidad. -(No se si es mi micrófono) pero tengo que subirle todo el volumen para que se aprecie bien, en XLR, en TS no se escucha nada. -No tiene alimentación +48 phantom -Como la sigo guardando en su caja (Caja de embalaje + caja de la marca) hubiera preferido que la agarradera estuviera arriba de la bocina y no en un costado. -(Este tal vez sea por quisquilloso) Cuando te conectas y desconectas, dice la clásica frase de “Bluetooth device is coneccted” que siento que ahí le quita lo “Profesional”

The ALTO TS415 is an impressive powered PA speaker with plenty of power and clear, punchy sound. The 15" speaker delivers strong bass and crisp highs, making it great for events, live music, or DJs. The built-in 3-channel mixer is very convenient, and Bluetooth streaming works smoothly. Wireless speaker linking and DSP features are easy to use, especially with the ALTO app. A solid, professional-quality speaker that performs well.

Le baffle est vraiment parfait, sauf que le Bluetooth ne fonctionne pas avec .
