5.0 out of 5 stars Really, really great speakers...
I’m a touring sound man, with over 40 years of mixing experience. Even though I'm trying to retire, I still do local shows with friends. I even decided to recommission some parts of an old sound system I owned to do a small show here and there. I didn't have any good stage monitors... but for the occasional show, I didn't want to spend a lot of money getting some. There are plenty of good self-powered cabinets out there if you want to spend $600 apiece or more. Not interested.A friend has some Behringer B212Ds, which I've borrowed a few times. I thought this is the way I'd go but they just didn't have a great natural sound... no real low end and I had to crank the high tone controls just so they'd sound "normal." But there aren't a lot of cabinets that compete with them on price... until I saw a review of the Alto TX312s. I thought I'd give them a try.WOW! They just don't "sound great for the price," they sound GREAT!!!Of course, I got out my test audio setup to put them through their paces. I turned off their "contour" switch and found I might have to add just a bit of EQ to fill out the bottom and the top. But then I did something that I never do... I turned ON the "contour" switch. And this added EXACTLY what I had added on the graph to make them sound good.Here's my take on these:1. High quality build- These DO NOT feel cheap. A solid thick plastic case construction with a full metal grille.2. Simple inputs- A combo TRS / XLR input jack, a mic / line sensitivity switch and a level control. That all I would ever want. I don't need broad-band tone controls on a speaker... if I'm doing anything, I'll do it on a graphic EQ or the console.3. Indicator lights- Again, simple. Power and a signal present light that turns red if you hit it so hard as to engage its protection circuitry. But in trying to test for the red threshold... O-M-G, these things were blasting!4. Size and weight- Although not as small as some, definitely manageable and fairly light.5. Other plusses- A fan for cooling, a pass-through XLR output, easy to deal with handles and a pole-mount hole (with a safety bolt). There's even a ground-lift switch if you have any AC issues.And oh yes... the cost. WOW! IMHO, this is hands-down the best value in a powered speaker. Sounds great, easy to deal with, simple operation, loud as heck... and VERY reasonably priced. I'm hoping they do well on the gig but confidence is high.NOW I'm thinking of getting a couple of the TX315s for the MAIN P. A. Yikes!
5.0 out of 5 stars A Lightweight Fine Sounding Speaker That I'm Using As A FRFR with an Amp Modeler
I've been using a QSC CP-8 for last 5 years with my duo. We use a single CP-8 high and behind for two mics, two guitars, and bass guitar. It works great and can cover large outdoors gigs. For the last 3 years I've been playing electric into a modeler while my partner plays acoustic guitar or bass. My acoustic guitar is currently retired.But with a modeler in my gig bag (usually a Spark Go these days, but I also have a UA Dream 65), I thought it would be nice to have something lighter for informal jams that could keep up with a drummer. At 25% the price and nearly half the weight of my CP-8 the TX308 seemed like a good solution. Its only shortcoming is I need a 1/4" female to XLR male adapter.Like the CP-8 you need to turn the bass down on your modeler if the speaker is placed on the floor. They are both voiced to be up on a pole. For music listening the CP-8 is no doubt capable of more volume. I did stress test the TX308 with bass guitar and it did not buzz or have any other issue. I'm impressed given the light weight and low cost. The overall build quality of the TX308 looks quite good to my retired electrical engineer's eye. If you want to run either speaker from a battery power station, they both draw about 5 watts running their DSP with no sound and are deafening loud at 10-15 watts of power from the wall socket.BTW, the Positive Grid Spark amps don't like having left and right (tip and ring) shorted together on their headphone output on the way to your powered speaker (sounds bad regardless of how you configure the output with the app: stereo or mono). A resistive summing cable is a bullet proof solution into a female 1/4" which might be TS, TRS stereo, or TRS balanced (3.5mm TRS stereo male with ~1K Ohm summing resistors to 1/4" TS mono).One other small, good thing to report is the handle molded into the TX308 case does not have any sharp edges. One of the nice things about the CP-8 is a great handle which I think matters compared to the sharp-edged molded handle in for example, the Yamaha DBR10. Another more expensive option, the Behringer B208D has no handle at all. If you're looking to travel light and make one trip from the car this stuff matters.
5.0 out of 5 stars Unbelievable
Great price for something that puts out really clear live sound. I am using this to give my wind controller a full range and take advantage of the super natural sound on my AE-20. The videos demonstrating this speakers makes it sound flat. Not tuning, I am talking dimensional. I tried it out and can say that the sounds have dimension. Many pro recorded audio give dimension to sound and the Bose allows for that dimension to happen. This Alto Pro 350w tx308 is so full ranged that it makes my good earphones sound less dimensional. Next to a Bose system though, Alto Pro still lacks dimension. But Alto holds its own. I appreciate the price.Update 9/18/2024:Unbelievably there is a high bias hiss sound when turning up the volume. I tried changing the wires and got new shielded cables. The speaker just does it on it's own. So if you are doing a LINE in and go up to the highest recommended you'll hear the HISS. Using my instrument (AE-20) requires me to be at a high level to hear it on the speaker. Plus I have to have it on MONO and not STEREO. This affects the sound greatly. For what the speaker is, it is good though. I think I will have to purchase a mixer just to handle my sound so that I can avoid the HISS. But as far as range, it is awesome.
4.0 out of 5 stars Great
Bought this for an outdoor dinner party and it sounds so good! Def worth the price
5.0 out of 5 stars Work well in my application
I installed these in a fellowship hall so the services could be heard, background music, and for use with a wireless mic when needed. They sound great! But, these are pretty low demand applications. They are a good balance of power and size, especially for spoken word. Not sure how they would fare under more stress.
