I recently purchased the ALTO PROFESSIONAL Busker 200W Portable PA Speaker System for my street performances, and I must say, I am thoroughly impressed!The sound quality is exceptional, delivering clear and powerful audio that easily fills the outdoor space. The 200W power output ensures that my music reaches the audience with clarity and depth, even in noisy environments.One of the standout features of this PA system is its portability. The built-in rechargeable battery allows me to perform for hours without worrying about finding a power outlet. Additionally, the Bluetooth control feature is incredibly convenient, allowing me to adjust settings and playlists wirelessly from my smartphone.The construction feels sturdy and durable, perfect for outdoor use. I also appreciate the sleek and professional design, which adds a touch of professionalism to my performances.Overall, I highly recommend the ALTO PROFESSIONAL Busker 200W Portable PA Speaker System to any street performer or busker looking for a reliable and high-quality PA system. It has exceeded my expectations and has become an essential part of my setup.
4.0 out of 5 stars Bose S1........ look behind you!
This is a very good speaker overall but note (in my estimation) there is limited volume in some respects (compared to my Ev8 and Yamaha Btr100 etc). It's 100w in RMS terms and not the silly 200w peak that Alto boldly stamp on it. They know most buyers won't know the difference between 100w proper and 200w scream your t**s off til it breaks noise. Still that peak capability is useful when a suddenly loud drumbeat or the like asks for it. It does break up when you push it near to it's limits and in tandem it loses control and clarity across the board. My Yamaha BTR100 is the same claimed spec of a 100w but beats the Alto for ultimate loudness without sounding so distressed. Still it's a very nice and extremely well finished item and it is the perfect grab it and get on with it, Swiss Army knife, do it all box. We are spoilt for choice nowadays . Oh yeah, I would much rather have two of these than the Bose S1. I'm NOT convinced by the Bose S1 speaker, it's main competitor at all. The S1 too falls apart and quite horribly when it's pushed. £600+? Nah mate!Please note the Alto Pro app is limited with no mute abilities apart from FX and it is hard to get it to connect. More often than not it fails you may well be advised that if you want to use the extended abilities live you may well end up tearing your hair out trying to get it to connect . It has your location though so that's fine eh? (NOT!). VERY stupidly it has a voice telling you bluetooth is connected. This is level dependent on both the main and the Bluetooth/aux channel. It's ok if you have the channels down low but if not and you are in the middle of a gig it's going to make you look like an amateur. You may think well I will just keep it down low when I set. Trouble is Bluetooth MAY disconnect momentarily and reconnect and then said voice will announce loud and clear that Bluetooth is now connected) Also on Bluetooth it misses out the first note or so of music, if you have a tightly edited track (EV8 does the same. to be fair). Find a workaround or be forever irked. When you get to my age you get irked a lot!Just a little more heft from this Alto Busker speaker and it would boss the market. Still if it is reliable (Alto speakers can be fatally unreliable I understand from people close to me who have bought the TS models) it will probably sell by the boatload.SORT OUT THAT APP THOUGH ALTO, YA HEAR ME?!
5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant
I was able to compare this with the Bose, Mackie and EV before buying. It was the cheapest, lightest and almost as good as the EV in sound quality and pressure. It beat the others, including Bose with their array design. As the shop had none in stock other than the demo, I bought off Bolo (and saved £35.)I have Alto speakers for wedge monitors in my big pa so I wasn’t surprised when this small unit held out well against the competition.Also half the price of the Bose and EV, and cheaper than the Mackie.The specs hold true. If the remote control through a phone app could do more, that’d be great and if there was a page on the app with one big kill button for effects, rather than a small one, making it easier to use during performance then it’d be perfect.As well as using it on a stand for small venues, I have bought a splitter cable to feed it to my column speakers for intermediate gigs using it as my mixer and monitor. Excellent when it’s just me. With radio mic and guitar, very quick to set up.
1.0 out of 5 stars Not anywhere powerful enough
Unfortunately not a great product. Have Alto PA so thought this would be same standard. Nope. Speaker is buzzy, you can't put great vocals through it. Just very poor. Bought it because it's Alto but def not Alto spec
5.0 out of 5 stars Nice sound
Small and good for busking
5.0 out of 5 stars Versatile Powered Speaker For Live Performance
Ignore reviews that say there is no EQ, there is full EQ on all 3 channels, even the Aux channel, via the app.I tested this side by side with a Bose S1 Pro that I have been using for literally hundreds of gigs as a singer/guitarist. Sound quality was as good, if not better that the Bose, with better features including full EQ on the Aux channel which is absent from the Bose. The overall sound is well defined with decent bass response. I play electric guitar and my only reservation is, so far I can't get as good a guitar sound as the Bose which has an EQ switch that can be set to a guitar setting, but I haven't experimented with all the settings yet. This baby is LOUD! I used it live at a club on Saturday night as an extension speaker, fed from the line out of the Bose and WOW!One annoyance, upon powering on a voice from within it says "POWER ON" very loudly! Apart from that, all of the features are very user friendly, particularly the battery charge level display, unlike the Bose where you have to press a button and count how many times an LED flashes!I continue to be impressed by the products made by Alto. I have some of their TS range of powered speakers and this is a worthy addition to their product range.
