Add a Rock-Solid Foundation to Your Music
There are times when your sound system needs additional low-frequency output and “punch.” For those situations, Alto Professional proudly offers the TS318 powered subwoofer. This subwoofer extends the bass response of virtually any full-range speaker, relieving that speaker of the difficult task of having to reproduce the low bass frequencies. The result? A system with stunning wide-range response characterized by dramatic, impactful low frequencies and effortless, undistorted mids and highs. The listening audience will hear everything with perfect clarity, from the lowest bass synth tones to the highest percussion bells and everything in between.
Premium Components
TS318S features a rugged, long-excursion woofer mounted in a solidly-braced ported enclosure, computer-optimized for powerful low-frequency performance. The enclosure itself is made from a dense wood composite. This strong, resonant-free material has virtually perfect acoustic characteristics, which ensures that the subwoofers’ output is always clear and impactful. Conventional enclosures with flex-prone thin metal or plastic walls actually rob the speaker of acoustic impact by dissipating the driver’s energy as cabinet vibration. A sturdy, braced wood composite enclosure doesn’t waste the driver’s motion as cabinet resonance.
The Perfect Match
Strong, clear output is only half the battle, however, in order for a subwoofer to be part of an ideal speaker system, it has to blend seamlessly with the companion speaker. This is where the Alto Professional’s TS318S truly excels. All TS300-series subwoofers have a choice of six selectable DSP output modes, so the subwoofer’s frequency response and crossover frequency are perfectly-matched to the speaker it’s being used with. Four of these six output options match the subwoofer perfectly with Alto TS2 and TS3 full-range speakers, while the other two output options (Hi-Pass or Bypass mode) ensure a perfect match even with non-Alto full-range speakers.
Precision-Engineered for Performance
Our computer design techniques feature advancements such as Finite Element Analysis (FEA), which enables us to optimize the speaker’s magnetic structure and maintain a tight voice coil gap for maximum sensitivity. Our voice coils themselves have extremely tight windings that ensure maximum utilization of the input signal and our adhesives exhibit unrivaled consistency and durability under high-temperature conditions for unsurpassed system reliability. TS318S features an onboard 2000watt amplifier (1000 watts continuous) with proprietary limiting circuitry that provides electronic clip, thermal and transducer overload protection, ensuring that the system always sounds clean and clear, no matter how hard it’s pushed.

I recently got a pair of alto ts318s a week ago, And the first wedding I broke them in and by listening to them is just awesome. But on the second wedding I'd turned them up and holy moly dude. On one of the light fixtures I saw the lights dim every time the kick happened on every song I played. To be honest it must of been the power draw that the subs had. Just absolutely mental on sound quality including the matching tops ts310.
TS308 at 13:00, TS310 at 14:07 TS312 at 15:36 TS315 at 17:35.
Great video man!
I personally like the 10's set up for weddings and 12's set up for live music!
What do you think folks?
Thanks for time & effort put on this video man! Highly appreciated!
Thank you
What do i think?..... awesome video, loads of advice, but 45hz for whats called a "subwoofer" is a laughing joke..........
Ive had 10" speakers down to 15hz, no problem....
Wish Alto would bring back the Alto BLK series...lost out on buying them when they were on the market...I was going with Alto but deciding to go with turbo sound...nothing but great reviews on those...yes for the price can't beat altos problem is the long haul...invest 1 time make sure it's going to last over time. . thank you island man luv your videos 😂!
I have the previous generation TS 318 sub and TS 315 and they punch fantastic! The sub gets a comment every time. I am very happy with the quality and power. Looking forward to checking these new ones now! 👍
Great Vid as always! Super impressed by what Alto is doing. As I've stated before, I have the TS310 and the TS312 and I don't use anything else as of now. From solo shows singing to tracks to DJ'ing, they have fit the bill and then some. Will be looking into this item for future larger DJ shows. I felt while the TS315 was great, I preferred the overall sound of the 10's and 12's in this demo. Thanks for all the great vid's and info!
Ken Ryan have you compared the altos to other brands?
Hi, still own and like those?
@@seitonkumokoroye2059 yes. Use them for every show.
@@kenryan454 I typically do live music. You think they fit into that application as well?
@@seitonkumokoroye2059 yes they will work for that. I sing to tracks but I have used them doing sound for bands as well
Great video and presentation!
You're the "no-none-sense" guy
at the shop that's gonna know the product and "shoot-it-straight" with the customer on product and price!
Thanks! At this point, I don't intend
to "brown nose", but you're the guy that keeps the doors open!
I will be contacting you for a purchase!
Thanks!
Good Morning would like to know what speaker pole do I use with Alto TS 318s subwoofer.
You're the best island man 👍! Thank you amazing video. 😂!
Thank you
Alto Is amazing especially for the price love the video thank you!
Ive owned the earlier Ts model of Alto and there is no question that the sound quality is gd, The problem arises is when turn the volume knob up and that red button starts to clip..I since Gave my altos up to my brother and invested on the QSC k12s.. I haven't looked back since..i need more juice i got more juice and no red light.And oh yea if you purchase a good sub you don't have to tax your tops...My subs are also QSCkw181
I didnt know qsc was better than altos....
Put headphones on ... awesome
Top notch review got my TS318s 🙌 😁
Order a SVS PB16 (which you can return for free) and listen to the bass difference, especially at 20hz which the altos wont or struggle to do, than ask yourself how you can get a refund 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Thanks for your great reviews. Do you know how this compares to the old Alto Black 18" 2400w sub?
Demos are awesome!
He probably was in the background dancing his ass off 🤣😂😂
Hello sir, I have a question for you. How big of a crowd is suitable for a pair of ALTO TS318S topped with the ALTO TS315? Is it suitable for a crowd of 500 people? I’m looking at a live band setup in a ballroom for 500 people. Do I need additional speakers to be placed at the back of the house?
There was a guy commenting above saying it was 300 ok..... i think i would use 4 tops, and just 2 subs in the front for the dancers.....
If your putting 2 at the back, you realise you have to "time delay" them right?.......
Can't wait to grab a pair of these subs for our 315 tops... Thanks for this vid demo!
Really great videos. I would love to hear your views on using high end powered speakers for a piano keyboard.
Awesome... Im getting the 318s and 315
😂😂😂😂😂😂 you will be "bashing" your head against the wall when you hear the quality of them, dont expect hifi quality out of them..... and buy good cables.... dont skimp, also fill all boxes with accoustic wadding, they will sound better......use sprey glue to stick the stuff down....
@@mohammedisaa9952bro you have been commenting on everyone’s comments on this video. Go find something better to do… Mohammed 🥷🤣🤣🥷🥷
@@mohammedisaa9952plus ur comments make no sense at all. I have been using Altos for the last 4 years and have got very good reviews about them. so shut up
the 310,s actually sound best to me
i own a pair and love them.. i use them with a pair of kilomax 18's and they are PLENTY loud enough. we use a pair of the 8's for our monitors just playing the main mix back at us and they sound incredible.
can you use this sub for other brand speakers like JBL ? coz i see it has all preset settings for it own lines speakers. if i use it with my JBL, what setting should i pick ?
Very good question. I wanna know too
Yes you can! You just need to choose the option you want at the back of the subwoofer!
Which is what setting?...... you tell nothing in your answer....??????
Guys.... use the 10 for 10inch drivers if those are your tops, 12 for 12 inch tops, and 15 for 15 inch tops.....
The shelf will have about a 150hz high pass for your tops, so if they are loud or 18 inch tops, then use that, the alto manual will explain everything.... dont worry guys....
Your review was great! Thanks for running through the different variations. What are the chances you could do the same thing but with the TS315s versus the TS318s? Thanks!
I have the same question. Is it better to go with TS315S subwoofer because of the lower cost/size/weight, if the sound quality/loudness in not significantly different?
@slow mazda thanks!
@@ishworgurung8681 18s hits lower frequencies and travels further out for big dance halls. For smaller events go with 12s and 15s where it hits more of the dance floors.
Lol.....
18" does 45hz lowest
15" 48hz lowest
Both should have around the same xmass as im sure they both will have 2.5" coils.....
Cone displacement will be different by cm squared, but not by much, also volume output will be lower on the 15's by 50watts i guess (manufacturers will "clip" the 15's to better sell their most expensive models (18's)......
Theres little in them sound wise, only in output volume..... in time, replace the driver, and bypass the plate amp for a crown amp, and all will be well....
I would buy the 15's, as these are good cabinets, and will take the power of a JL Audio speaker driver which will get you down to 15hz, and will be 2,000w rms capable over 2 coils (duel 2ohm coils, than wired in series to get 4 ohms)..... and stuff that speaker with loft insulation and sprey glue, which increases the sound quality..... also add another shelf on the bottom to increase and lower port tuning from 52hz to around 34hz...... (REW and a usb mike will prove me right)......
Good luck and enjoy your products.....
Ive got 4x 8" two each side and a double 12"sub 1200 rms and my gosh its chest pounding bass and clear tops
4x 8" + TS318S seems to be my dream setup.
@@viktorianas Check out the 8"double twirl bass bin it thumps a punch,Ive had several 18" Noting touches the double twirl bass bin

With a comment like that you win the internet foreverrrrrrrr
Nothing toutches 2 8" twirl bins or whatever...... have you ever heard a SVS PB 3000 in your life yet?.... they ship and take for free qiving you 45 days free trial........ a little bit different to a pair of 8" speakers, even if they are "twins".... 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Thanks for your review!
Very impressed with the Alto sub, my question is and I hope you will advise me here, on a budget, bought the RCF 945a's I wonder will the Alto subs match and suit my RCF' s
Thank you
I don't know for sure as I own the RCF HD12's and not the 945A's. The 945A are rated at 135spl so I really doubt that the Alto 318's will be able to keep up. I am not saying that the Alto subs are bad subs but not the right subs to match those tops...
Great video thx
Best review ever! Will you review the new ts sub?
Love your channel!! Any chance of a similar video with the JBL EONs (each top w the 618 sub?)- that would be great, thanks!!
Check his channel I'd of thought he would of done those by now tbh
hello my friend.. i love your video.. i'll open a resto-bar soon (2000sft) and i wonder how many subwoofer and speakers i will need for that project? thank you :)
Clean sound
ts18s or behringer B1800XP???
Hi, I am thinking about going powered speakeres. I do indoor and outdoor events. Should i get 2000 watts powered speakers.
Yes, you should!
Yes...... but listen to them first, i baught a pair of "powered speakers" and they sounded crap.....
So i connected my home theatre directly to the speakers internally and they sounded really nice (well better than before) so some of these amps sound really bad...... flat.... just horrible.... but it was my fault for cutting corners and buying crap....
Really make an effort and buy the best you can afford..... buy passives and quality crown or peavey amps..... then you can replace the drivers in the cabinets for better quality when you can afford to upgrade......
Great sub
Just want to make sure I heard you right the mixer goes to input one and two and the ts310 go on the bottom of the su b to the ts310
The other way. Mixer to sub.
Nice video Alto 👍🏾
how does the ts318 compare to the now discontinued Alto Black series 18" subs..?
the new 318 doesn't stand a chance against the old black series sub. The black series sounds like the dad of the 318
Tech Know very late to this but does that mean that the old Black subwoofer is better? Or the new TS318?
@@kevinsullivan5964 Old Black sub is a lot better.
@@kevinsullivan5964 SUB ALTO BLACK e molto più potente e pesante
great Alto black 18 with 315.. dont compare with another brand .. it price really 50% more low than rcf, makie,jbl or another monster brand..
4 x sub 18 alto + 4 x 315 top..
really good sound for 200 - 300 person in ballroom with 0db and half gain mixer. Recomanded from alto or soundcraft mixer.. use for this over 4 year and just a little problem with HF speaker.. easy to blow when the mic at his front..
The magic is this speaker can bring 3 speaker per side.. really boom sound and if we use 312 or 310 at top.. the sound come like a line array system..
Instead of saying "more low" how about the word "less".....? (It saves you from typing too many letters unnecessarily) 🙂👍🏻
how do these stack up against the behrinnger b1800xp with the turbosound woofer, also when is the 15 inch 315s a better choice vs the 18 inch 318s? the b1800xp is $100 more than the 318s and I'm trying to figure out if the $100 is worth it for the b1800xp. Im going with the 12 inch alto ts312 for the tops for sure.
behringer has a better thump and kicks like crazy. The alto however sounds better but isn't as impacting as the behringer. I'd go with the alto. It is loud enough, it is comparable to the db technologies sub 18.
Please don't get the 15 it sounds good but it won't cover more than 100 people. If you want thumping bass you should save your money and buy better from the get go
thanks for the reply... I ended up going with the cerwin vega cve12 and will pair with the cve18s sub. I used to own 2 passive cerwin vegas and they had such a warm sound and the cve12 reminded me why I liked cerwins in the 1st place. I only regret not listening to the altos because the shop I went to didnt have any to demo and I didn't wanna take a trip to guitar center, but I'm happy with my cve12 purchase.
Cerwin Vega is also a good brand..... try to get peavey and crown seperate amps...... when you can, they are good 😉👍🏻👌
Why do the Alto ts315 tweeters have problems. Not gone past 12 oclock then blow.
Great review thanks
Would you run this with 2 , ZLX-12P? Debating on this or just sticking with EV...
Biy the 15"subs.... they are comperable
Love the Videos
Great reviews look forward to more content. Looking for monster subs what is your recommendation out of
1.PSA S7201
2.JTR 4000ULF
3.Monolith M215
4.SVS PB16
Will use for home theatre mostly and kids will use for music in the basement. Looking for the boomy, deep, rumble sound thanks?
Monolith without a doubt...... the pb16's are good, but watch comparison videos...
Svs (to protect their drivers) have a slope starting at 20hz, and then they begin to "roll off", whilst the mono's just let them play....... youthman? i think, did graphs of them, search the hometheatre videos.....
These kinds of speakers are pure junk for HT applications, yes, at between 1 1/4 inch and 1 1/2 MDF these cabbinets are good, but HT theatre uses HDF (high density fiber board, not medium density) and comperable to thickness......
Perhaps, buy a box kit, than buy a 18" JL Audio woofer, then a crown amp, it will be near to the cost of these "cheepo subs" (which the drivers are rated lowest at 45hz before the paper cones rip at the edges) but alot cheeper than a monolith..... and far better than a pb16.....
If you want the sound, but also want to save money, disco subs are not the way forward....... these are for crowds that are mainly drunk or on the pull,.... sound clarity, and how low they go is the least of their concerns..... and the guy who pays the DJ is only concerned that the music was loud enough, and the music played which made his guests happy.... this certainly isnt a CISA Expo.... 😂😂😂....
Its up to you bro.... 🙂👍🏻
Hi, I need some advice. I need to get a sub and I am having a real hard time deciding which to go with between the EV ELX 200 18sp and the Alto TS318. Currently I have 2 Harbinger Vari 2312 tops. I am a beginner DJ so money is a little limited. Not sure if I should go with the Alto or get 1 EV for now and another later on. I do all types of parties and a lot of outdoor parties. What is your opinion?
With the Harbinger Vari 2312 you could start with 1 of the TS318s and add a second one when you get some extra cash saved up for bigger Job. We are going to be getting in one of two new Models from Blastking next week that may be better then TS318s for the Money. stay tuned.
I’ve had all alto even a tx8... 1 series...2 series... and 3 series with two 118 subs I loved them but things went wrong a few times at the worst time never a problem with subs but I didn’t use them as much but one of my 1 series woofers went out on my 15s and my horns went out on the 2 and 3 series so I went with qsc after that last failure but I made tons of money for years with alto so my only issue was periods of unreliability but great sound and I wasn’t happy paying for shipping them for repair on my 3 series.
I've got a pair of ts212 and the horn drivers while they sounded good.. were cheap junk. Overheat and blow. I replaced with jbl horn drivers and have been very pleased. Think I paid $100 a piece for the jbls and the alto replacement were like 35 a piece. Well worth the higher price for reliability. Don't know if the current line of alto has upgraded their horn drivers or not but I do like alto overall. Bass reflex of the 12" boxes are amazing. I picked them over the 15" cabs. Recently I've moved towards Grund Audio. Made in USA completely and have been rock solid!
Peavey also make good speakers....
As for these Altos, putting in a 35watt horn driver with a small white resistor hoping it will take 100w of music power is utterly ridicules......
Smart move buying the correct driver...... although, i think at 100 you baught the whole horn, you do realise the drivers unscreww from the horns dont you?..... 1 and 3/4 inch thread i believe, unless alto used the ultra cheepo chinease ones that are gluwd togwther, the pitzo horns instead of the dynamic metal drivers in them....
You all need to know how these speakers are built, buy propwr 1 way crossovers for your speakers, and buy some loft insulation and sprey glue the wadding into your speakers to make them sound better...... low cost, high gain, especially with crossovers and your main drivers suffering from "cone breakup".....
How can a 12 or 15 inch driver which is rated from lets say 50hz to 4k do 10,000hz ?????? When fed sound out of their range that they cant do, they try to do that anyway which ovwr time makes them go bad....
Thats why we NEED good quality CROSSOVERS in our speakers......
The powered speakers should have 2 wires to bass and 2 separate wires to horns, if they only have just 2 wires going to bass, than looped up through tiny resister to horn, then buy a crossover......... its less than 20$ and will protect your investments...... also put thicker wire in there.... atleast 2.5 to 4mm thick excluding the plastic coating..... ofc quality is great....
Stay away from copper coated aluminium speaker wires..... they are the worst ever, go find out why (their name is cca wires, and they are really cheep)...... stay away from them.... van damm cables arw best as they are 2.5mm csa (cross sectional area, or diameter of copper) and they are ofc (oxygen free copper, they are made better to carry sound, best are crystal latice aligned ofc, or even silver plated copper, but thats for audiophiles).....
Changed my horns with jbl and now my 215 sound awesome
The best review
How would I make the bass/lows go the subwoofer because it’s mainly going to the top main speaker
to connect from mixer to the sub first then take output from sub to tops
if i play in a live band with 2xekx15ps, would one of these 18 inches be enough for a live band and would you reccomend this?
How many in crowd, how big venue....
Its like asking "if i buy a car, how much petrol will it use".... 🙃
C'mon man, you've got to be more specific than that......
I have 2 mackies 12" and im thinking buy this subwoofer! Do you think is going sounds good?
Yes, the alto's are better people are saying.....
Always appreciate your videos.
Just a quick question..... Is there a replacement for the discontinued ALTO BLACK SERIES?
Not from alto But have a look at the New Harbinger WOW the VARI V4115 Video coming soon but have a look at the details guitar-center.pxf.io/V4115
Perhaps consider second hand?..... some DJ's just quit/retire or go out of business......
Are those better than the Mackie thump? For live music?
Apperently
osl oliver systems limited Pro 15-1000W Powered 15 Compact Speaker
Please review this system
Is the Alto TS18S Sub and TS315 Better than the Mackie Thump 18S Sub & Thump 15A speakers?
Thinking of purchasing and cannot decide between the two. Sub bass is important as well as overall quality.
Great video by the way👌🏼
Sir CutClass yes it is
Yes what is....... better?.... gawd....
I guess these altos, but look up the specs and try to demo them for yourself in a local dj shop......
When you talk about low bass, you realise theae are only speced at 42hz lowest, to go lower, it will cost you more power, and you could risk damadging/ripping these cardboard cones right?...... also, heated up coils which could swell and rub on the pole piece and magnet......
Hi, looking to get a good subwoofer for my home audio system. This sub looks great but I was wondering if you could recommend a good sub that has a nicer finish that I can use in my home. Thanks I’m advance and great video man. I purchased another PYLE UHF party speaker using one of your links after watching one of your videos from about 9 months ago. Thanks in advance!
This is a banging finish for a pa subwoofer mate the style is all due to preference I'd recommend maybe a HK subwoofer they also pack a serious amount of power when setup correct and would work wonders as would this check his channel out mate I'm sure you'll find the one I'm looking atm for my pa system I'm building over time for when my mental health etc gets better eventually so have been looking for a long time and subwoofers are improving every year depending on the manufacturer you will get some choices even the size can have an impact on the output sounds from my understanding
Build quality also effects aound quality.....
Rubber surrounds on speaker drivers, crown amps, and your good to go 👍🏻🙂
Hi, I've heard that the new TS312S Sub can match the TS215S sub is that true? As the reason for asking is because I'm looking to supplement the bass sound of my TS315's in venues/parties containing around 100 people.
I agree.... the 12's have slighter cone area, and i think they go down to 48hz, 15's go down to 45hz, and 18's around 42hz.....
The 12's will also have a weaker amp in them, so lower the 15's alittle and people wont notice...... 4 subs are great 👍🏻 and your sound will be really good for a dico....
Can you review wireless mics and mixer?
Hi there, how do you adjust the crossover of the speaker and sub? I've got a 315 speaker and a 318 sub running to a alto ZMX862. I don't seem to be able to adjust any eq settings either? Any ideas? Thank you
theres a fixed crossover in the sub {DSP} I dont belive you have the ability to ajust. hopefully someone from alto can chime in, hope that helps
The stuff is crap..... set to either the size with 15 in it or the shelf setting.... theres no eq with this alledged dsp, as it will just be a set of capacitors in a bank lifting up the woofwrs sound capabilities when set for the 12's (sub does up to 1,000hz and then lets speaker carry on from there to take load of 12's to help increase overall volume.... then when set to 15's setting which can go louder, sub proberly crossesover at 200? hz ..... the shelf should be around 150hz or less i dont know, but if you actually read the manual you were given with the sub, it will tell you the values...)....
Is there 7ins vocal coils alto on 18
Who is playing the number 1 and 3 melody?🙏🏻
Super 👌👌👌👌👌👌
Hi, I just paid for these but I am already looking to switch the 18's when they arrive. Would by any chance know what the resistance is on them?
Hi, did you get to change the 18's? What was the impedance on them? What did you change them with? What is your overall experience?
Resistance, Impedance, 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🙃
And you lot are supposed to be "professionals"....?????
Your thinking of an 8ohm speaker, these are NOT PASSIVES, they are POWERED SPEAKERS which means they have their own amplifiers.....
Impediance dosent matter over an XLR cable...... unless its over 100ft or so.....
Gawd.... some people.
Oh..... as for "experiance", since they and other brands also typically only go down to 42hz..... i guess "crap" would be the word i would use.....
Would 2 of the 18 inch subs & 2 of the 15 inch tops be enough for clubs that hold up to 200 people? I play in a Classic rock band. What is the SPL & RMS also ? Thx 😄
Im not knowledgeable on this question, but a guy above commented he had the same as you, and was doing crowds of 300 to 400 and they were fine for those kinds of gigs, he also qas doing band work....
As for the specs, i guess on altos website they should publish basic specs or you could email them?....
do they sound better than the ev elx118p?
Hendrey Smit
Doubtful 🤔
I know first hand they do pump it out
Not even close, Alto doesn't match the EV built, engineering and quality. The TS318 is a good beginner Subwoofer, similar to the Behringer 18 . The EV ELX118P is better but not by too much. It's has a cleaner and punchier base than the Alto.
Elisha Soussan
I’d say it’s probably louder
@@mark-1rc502 Subs are subs. They are both budget
@@elishasoussan798 The alto sounds better though. Elx sounds flat with bass roll off at 45 hz. Ev is probably the more reliable brand. Alto is slow and sound deepest with the deepest bass. I will still choose the elx over the alto
I tried the DSP setting to pair with my 2 TS315 but the sound got softer/weaker than Bypass.. do I just need to crank up the gain/volume? Any help. Thank you
Use bypass.... them 15's will take the sound...... if you want some protection for them, use the shelf mode...... all this alledged "dsp" is, is a bank of capacitors and resistors to weaken the sub to the 10 or 12 inch speakers that some will connect to it so they match.....
Crap 10inch speaker, crap sound from sub....... 15inch speaker, than sub should sound good?.... perhaps bypass the plate amp, and wire the sub direct to a crown amp, maybe a 1500w amp giving 750rms to each sub....... if your only using 1 sub, then buy a 300w crown and use "bridged mode" to get around 650w to the sub.... drill hole in amp of sub, and use a 6.5inch standard jack plug socket, if you wire it right, it will disconnect the amp and allow powere straight to sub driver, dont forget to wire an "inline" crossover to help save the sub.....
I need a subwoofer to complement my Ev 15 zlx bt which would you recommend?Ts318 or Mackie thump 18s thank you
Apperently i read that the alto's are better, go see some comparison videos.... then demo them together.... but at this pricepoint theres little difference in quality between them.....
Try to listen to a pair of SVS PB16's.... and see what you think, you can demo them for free for 45 days and SVS will pay shipping either way.....
There heavy, and expensive, but sound fantastic...... you can also build your own if you want with them crazy car speakers that go extra low.....
I have this setup with a ddjsx2 by pioneer and it wasn’t that loud is there something that I missed in hooking something up correctly? I have two ts315 and one Ts318 and the dsp setting is on 315 . I’ve actually only plugged in one speaker and sub just like the video for testing as well and it wasn’t as loud any ideas to help thanks
Ask the people that sold it you.....
You can not use phono to xlr adaptor for a connection, or use your phones headphone socket to the sub as phono or line connection is 2 volts, and these need 4volts from professional mixers or dj consoles.....
Plug output of your sorce straight to your sub, than from sub to your main speakers...... if its still low, you either have a problem with your wire, or you may need to send them back if you paid for them.......
I personally think its a shame that these (and other brands) are labelled as "subwoofers" !!!!
I mean seriously,...... they wont even go lower then 45hz, look at the speakers specs, and im talking about the 18" here.....
A sunwoofer (a proper one) should at that size be able to reach into "infra-sound" ie 10hz and below..... thats what we want, and thats what a "proper" subwoofer can do....
All i can recommend is ripping out the sad drivers and put a JL Audio driver in it, but weather the plate amp will allow such low figures im not too sure? (Alot of manufacturers protect their speaker drivers by limiting how low they can go to protect the coils)....
Hence you would need something like a peavey or a crown amp which will play that low.... (they do, ignore the 20hz to 20khz specs)... ultimately, all these are worth are the cabinets.... 😮💨
You can also buy D.I.Y Cabinets if your handy and they glue together........
I really dont see a point in these, unless its a "quick fix" to provide "some" ( and when i use the word "some" i mean minimal) bass (45hz is bad).......
Good luck with your purchase,and listen to the sound demo with "Quality" headphones and listen to how low the "sub" (😂) goes.... especially on the first track and the 15's paired....... im so sorry 😞 ..........
Whats the first song called?
Please which is more powerful between Thump18s and Alto318s?
The Alto TS318s is more powerful.
Hi ! Can i use Aldo Ts -308 as home theater center speaker !Thanks.
Its powered i think, but yes you can use anything if you want.....
Has Alto replace the TS318 with model TS18?? If so, does the TS18 have DSP also??
Ts18s is new, and it does have dsp size options built-in.
@expertisland Can you review the new Alto TS18S sub, please?
@@barrywinfrey1193. I bought one a month ago and loving it so far. Yes, it does need to be reviewed. I knowledge of it is simple stuff
@alexpho OK, great. Im thinking about buying a couple of them and was wondering how they compared to the older model, the TS318S.
Tittle of that 3 musics please??😊
By the way I have size 15 speaker ty.
Hi there how are you? Good evening to you I'm from Philippines one of your followers and viewers too I just wanna ask only if compatible to my ts315 2000w to a alto subwoofer 2000w ? Thank you and Happy Holiday to yuo sir God Bless you ! ..... My name is Nixon Malate
Hi sir this subwoofer ts318 can use the full band music
No..... these "disco subs" go from around 42hz up to about 350hz typically, the drive unit without the amp will do around 25 to 2,000hz if you baught a passive..... on more expensive passives they have a crossover installed which pulls them down to 350hz or thereabouts..... active subs (ones with built in amps) will have the crossover built into the amps to around the same value.....
This is a bass speaker that only does bass, thats why its called a subwoofer 🙂👍🏻
So how do they compare with QSC ? I’m getting ready to buy in the next couple months and I’m CONFUSED 😂
Both are good brands..... demo them or ask mates or ring shop?.....
Oh..... if your "confused" dj'ing isnt for you..... you have to make quick decessions on the fly quiet quickly and often being a dj......
hi! can you use 4 ts315 and 2 ts318s? thank you in advance.
Yes aha that's sick if you've got 4 ts315s. I'm guessing drum and bass is your style bro? 😂✌️
@@CumminsBT-bp7dt would you recommend it for larger crowd in a full band setting?
@@miggylicious181 yes definitely that set up would be fantastic for a large crowd/ full band setting mate
DEERE7810 CUMMINS8.1 nice, thank you for answering my question. :)
only thing i noticed from having one is they scuff easy on the sides. Prb invest in a cover.
Cover them in cloth with sprey glue.....
Hello! What sub pole are you using..i would like to order some places. Thank you.
They all are a standard width, but various lengths (or heights in this case)...... buy the longest, and saw it in half to save some money 🙂👍🏻
Will it work well with mackie thump 15s the 2017 version 4
for sure, great subwoofer for the mackie.
@@expertisland thank you, should I get two for my pair of mackie thump 15s and would also adding 15" subwoofers apply even better sound within the low frequency range ?
What sub to high pack speaker pole does this use?
Theres a standard size pole.... 25 or 42 i cant remember, bit the shop will know..... email or ring
I dont know about these subs...i have 2 of those 18 inchs...they are kinda weak at outside...any suggestions ?
Ourdoors, find some used jbl eon 18s i own 6 18s i picked up the package for $2000 for the 6 18s and aslo scored a pairs of 15s . I already had 8 pairs of the eon 15s. I am able to do a decent area with the setup. It isnt the best but for my budget i spent $5000 and nothing came close.
@@derrickforeal i was thinking buy 2 rcf 8003 ...they are Monsters
Quel est le prix ........Merci
sound real great , how are the ports.
I still have to remove the cover to confirm the ports, so I will be making the video for the TS315S next week and I will check the ports for both the 15s and 18s and note the details in that video for you.
thaks , will wait on your next video.
What dsp will I use if I have Troupers and this sub?
Depends what size these troopers are, just match the numbers.... 10 for 10inch.... 12 for 12inch etc.... use the shelf mode if your troopers have 18inch drivers in them.....
Alto TS318Sub or JBL Eon 618S?
The jbl will beat the alto. The jbl is bigger and heavier. The jbl goes lower and sounds nicer. alto costs less. However the jbl is a tad bit louder
@@KAYBE_CO how can alto get lower? Jbl has lower frequency response both at -10 and at -3 db.
@@vagospatma3017 That's indeed wrong information. I swapped the two by accident
Can i connect this sub to passive dual 15
big no !!!
can i use ts3s 2000 sub to a ts212 1250 PA speaker?
why not?.... 🙂👍🏻
can we attach wheels ?
Yes.... buy them and 16 thick wood screws about 1 inch in length..... also put accoustic wadding in speaker, it will sound better.....
Vip
Do you have diagram of the setup?
It should be with your sub in the manual..... maybe qatch a few more videos, even here it was clearly explained and shown..... 😮💨
Mixer stereo leads to sub, than plug both speakers to sub, you cant get confused as the xlr wires only go in 1 way...... it is supposed to be idiot proof, i am hoping you dont prove them wrong....... 😞
Is Alto brand made or have any relationship with China's manufactories?
I dont understimate China's Market and products, But there is a huge amount of forums , feedbacks and coments about the bad quality of end product when brands like Behringer opt for manufactoring in China for the elements and important material of low quality and durability.
So , is Alto making his stuff in China too?
Thanks
Most proberly like most manufacturers nowadays......
Hong kong or taiwan are also typical.... manufacturers cant afford your country's pay grade, even at minimum wages...... so they pay chinease equivelent of 40cents per day wages, and they are happy with that, not knowing that, that work is worth 1,000+ × what they are paid.....
"Scales of ecconomy" they call it, we call it ripping someone off who knows no better....... hence poor quality, and some "inteligent" workers not giving a crap about the products they work on....... what would you do for 40c a day wages? Its not even cost effective to turn up for work 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I have the TS318s, which subwoofer/speaker pole will it take? The 20mm I already had doesn't fit.
im trying to find out the same thing
@@MrZookeepah I found this pole which fits. 35mm www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000E0TVDI/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I think they use 35mm..... depends which country..... email the shop or buy a tape measure and measure the hole........ better yet, actually read the manual in the box, it will tell you.... 😂😂😂😂
Crazy people that can't accomplish the simplest of tasks allowed to buy this equipment 😨😨😨😨
Out of interest..... do you live or work at the zoo?.....

is it worth changing the alto ts218s for the new version?
If your good with the one you have then no but if your looking for a second one or just more power then yes
Disappointed with the TS318s, I'm a home DJ so the dance floor is 10x20 and one of these 1000w RMS doesn't do much to the low end. I even added a separate mixer and played around with location (corner of the room) and settings on sub and tops. The sub sounds better from behind than in front.
I reply to your question in my Q&A video ua-cam.com/video/R48UPKuQ6t4/v-deo.html
i have the problem with my ts318 all the bass is in the back
@@teobmf271 did you try to reverse polarity?
Yes I did but didn't change anything
@@expertisland Thank you, 10x20 feet btw. should I get 2 TS315S instead?
Sir how much bass

If i choose
Reply me sir

Can I play Fortnite with these?
Cool video…. But sorry I’m a hip hop R&B dj… none of your music tells me nothing about the speaker . It just sounds loud to me…. If u want to sell that speaker… play a hip hop song that has base in it…. Something with a lot of bottom…. Not these loud songs your playing… I bought alto speakers when they first came out and literally burned the whole system out in a 4 hr party because it can’t handle hip hop rap music…..
I need to use royalty-free music so in 2019 my options were more limited than today. I now get my music from artlist. Personally, I would like to play more House music David Guetta that is my go-to for Bass but hip-hop R&B is also really good.
As for your speakers, I think it was more of a case of *bringing a knife to a gunfight, you can't blame the knife* . if I'm geared for EDM, Hip-Hop, R&B, I'm always looking at doubling up on Subwoofers of a setup for just a band. for every 2 tops get 4 subwoofers rent them if you have to.
I have 2 and they are great with hip hop and r&b.
You pick the worst songs in your videos... You make versus marketing 🤣🤣
I agree with this . Very poor!!
