Alto Professional TRUESONIC Speaker

Description
Versatile Cabinet Design
All TRUESONIC 2-way speaker cabinets have been designed with versatility and longevity in mind. They feature a durable, lightweight polypropylene enclosure that is stand-mountable for weekend gigs and flyable for more permanent installations. What's more, they have a trapezoidal design which greatly decreases the resonance of the standing wave in the cabinet for a more true-and-exact sound reproduction. The TRUESONIC TS115A is ideal for musicians and DJs on the move and halls, malls, schools, houses of worship and more.
Total Transparency
The TRUESONIC Series was designed from the ground up to be the most transparent loudspeaker money can buy. Rigorous testing and thousands of hours of listening have gone into making sure that what you pump into a TRUESONIC speaker is exactly what you get out. Everything you see (and some things you don't) - from internal signal path and components used to the sculpted cabinet and meticulously designed waveguide - was developed in service of the principle of accurate, transparent sound.
Super Efficient Drivers
The drivers in the TRUESONIC TS115A are designed to make sure that virtually no energy is wasted. That translates to more of the power from the amplifier actually working to generate sound rather than heat, giving the speaker better real-world performance than other speakers with comparable published specifications. The TRUESONIC TS115A offers a 15" LF driver (2" voice coil) and a 1" HF neodymium driver.
Modern amplifier design
Every active TRUESONIC speaker benefits from the use of a Class D amplifier integrated into the cabinet. Class D amps are generally lighter than Class A and AB amplifier designs, and offer more than enough power to provide your performance with plenty of punch. The TRUESONIC TS112A delivers with 800 watts of power and offers a balanced combo jack (XLR/TRS) input with level control. Class D amplifiers are also highly efficient and run cooler than other kinds of amps so the amp doesn't have to work as hard to deliver your mix.
Hang 'em High
Optimal speaker placement can be challenging, especially if your speakers don't have what it takes to go anywhere. Whether you need to fly your speakers, polemount or use them as floor monitors, TRUESONIC speakers are ready for you. All TRUESONIC speakers feature standard 36mm pole mounting insets on the bottom. If you need to fly them, it's no problem. The TS115A comes with five rigging points. All these options make the TRUESONIC one remarkably venue-friendly speaker. You can use them anywhere you need them.
Just what you need
Whether you're performing at a coffeehouse, wedding, house of worship or other small- to medium-sized venue, the TRUESONIC TS115A is your best choice. For example, it's easy to get your TRUESONIC speakers to the gig thanks to their carrying handles and lightweight design. Once you're there you won't need to be a live sound engineer to figure out how to EQ the speakers thanks to the built-in Contour EQ switch that can help adjust for those situations where an EQ alternative is needed for recorded music playback. When you're connecting everything, the TRUESONIC's dual XLR/combo inputs make easy work of your setup and each speaker's independent level controls give you the flexibility to dial everything in your way in seconds.
Full metal grille
You can never be too safe around the stage. We know stuff happens that you just can't predict. Sometimes it's the flying drumstick, a falling mic stand or worse. Every TRUESONIC speaker comes with a complete front grille from top to bottom that protects not only your low-frequency driver, but your high-frequency driver as well. With TRUESONIC speakers, you get extra peace of mind knowing that whatever comes at your sound system, it's covered, literally.

Best Deal for the Price
After spending some time researching speakers, I decided to drop by a GC store and listen to a few models. At that point I was torn between the Mackie Thumps and some higher rated Behringers for slightly less. I asked a sales rep what he thought was the best bang for the buck and he recommended the Alto series. He claimed to own a pair himself and stated the brand is actually made/owned by Akai. After listening to a side-by-side test against the Mackie Thumps, the choice was easy. The Altos sounded clear and present, while the Mackies sounded surprisingly dull and cheap (unsurprising, given Mackie's problems of late). That said, be aware that this is the first pair of PA speakers I've owned and I've had them for only a few weeks so far. However, when I've used them, they sound great. I'm pleased with the clarity, bass, and loudness.

Limit Way to Fast!
I bought these speakers after listening and being very impressed in the store. I started with the Behringer 15 inch powered speakers. Theres really no comparison when it comes down to clarity of sound and the amount of bass that these put out compared to the behringers. With that said, These are not nearly as loud before they begin limiting. I am an EDM DJ and play mostly Trance, Progressive House, and Dubstep. I have already blow 2 of these speakers and I'm not just some kid blasting this music and limiting them at shows. If your going to be playing small house parties/small venues these are great for the price, but if you ever play mid to large shows don't waste your money. You might as well buy the Behringers. I recently blew out my second alto and finally broke down and bought the qsc k12. If you can save up and get these bad boys, there is no comparison in the store as far as powered speakers that deliver plenty of sound, as well as clear highs and miss and a lot of bass. Plus these have a built in limiter so its a lot harder to blow them. I am very happy with these and would suggest them all day.

I've used these at weddings, receptions, and small school dances and I was pleased with the overall sound quality especially the bass response. I've deejayed and provided sound reinforcement for over 25 years so light weight would be important for me as I get older. Unfortunately, I would not consider these as "light" but, I could not pass these up when I saw them over $100 less than the usual cost. They definitely hold up to my other speakers--JBL EON 615, Behringer, Yamaha, Peavey, Harbinger, and EV. The Alto's hold up to all these speakers except my EV ELX's (far different price point though). I would imagine that many of the people who offered reviews pushed their Alto's beyond the line input rating and into the microphone setting (BIG mistake and frankly, very amateurish). Keep that speaker volume at 12 o'clock and you'll do just fine. My only cons are that there are no EQ functions (no biggy), feel heavy compared to my JBL's and Peavey's, and they have to be tightened down if you mount them on a pole or stand because they feel wobbly up there and thus, psychologically feel like they can fall.

Horrible Speaker. Not For Pros

This speaker is straight garbage. I bought two as a back up and was a horrible mistake. The sound constantly goes in and out and with no EQ it makes it even worse. Please avoid this speaker and beware because you get what you pay for. This speaker will barely handle 50 guests with clarity on any style of music. They always smell like they are ready to blow even at headphone volumes. I have 25 years experience working with headline acts so I know what audio should sound like. This speaker is not worth even $20.

I live in a triplex and have never heard my speaker pumped near it's capacity. I've had it less than two years and the other day it went and now sounds like my smart phone playing music if I put it on speaker phone. Don't buy an Alto Speaker!!!!
The right tool for the job

Considering the other reviews about the bass cones blowing out, I had some doubts about these boxes. However, I had a medium sized outdoor acoustic gig come up and I needed to upgrade fast and cheap. I latched onto these after hearing them in the store. Due to popularity, they were out of stock and had to ship them from a store in AZ (free). I got them just in time for the gig and tested them for the first time at soundcheck! They didn't disappoint. People who are regulars to our shows commented on how clear the instruments and voices sounded. As a duo, with 2 vocal mics, 2 acoustic guitars, occasional acoustic bass, keyboards, cajon, mando, banjo, and hand percussion, the sound was loud clear and perfect. I had output dialed to the 1 o'clock position and had plenty of headroom. If I were driving EDM tracks with heavy low-end, or if we ever end up in a larger outdoor gig situation, I wouldn't want to rely on these exclusively; I would add subs. Good bang for the buck...SO FAR.
