I have a pair of passive Alto 315s used with a Yamaha Powered Desk (500W RMS clean per chan). I can attest that the sound is amazing and even allows for the bass player to plug directly into the desk for those occasions when he turns up to the gig but forgets his combo amp. They are a bit heavy to lift off the poles at the end of a gig. Of course the drummer is busy with his kit and the bass player has sloped off for a smoke and the singer is too precious to indulge in any manual work. Sound familiar?
I know of someone up in Denver that turned a three wheeled bicycle into a sound bike with one of these. Powered by two Optima "Blue Top" batteries, a 3000w inverter and an aux cable for streaming music from a cellphone.
Got a pair about 6 months ago and used them every weekend for wedding dj, party dj and karaoke shows and they're doing an amazing job with enough bass and superb volume for up to 80 people. Still deciding about the subwoofer, as I was wondering shall I pair it with 15" or 18"... I think one 18" should suffice but still deciding.
You are doing up to 80 people with just a pair of this s 15s ? How is the bass , also if u would to get a bass what is the crossover frequency u will do
@@SuAmigoElilegal the bass is very well handled actually. I didn't used even the knob till the middle and my dj controller is adjusting everything. I believe it can reach up to 150 people set in a good height as well. And I got a TS315S subwoofer as well, so my bass and speakers are amazingly balanced. Totally love the pur hase and will probably getting a second sub soon
how are they holding Up? planning to get these for the church heard that there is alot of issue with the tweeter and it stops working if worked too hard
@@apmgaming6854I use them for bookings and have never had a issue the teeter only blows because people aren’t properly understanding the gain structure
There is not much of different is just the Bluetooth and a little different look o guess but overall is sounds the same. You might not notice any changes at all if u put them and test them together but they will tell that it has more power Anyway the sound is the same . I mean is good and decent but if u compare to ev or qsc is different
This brand gets a lot of bad press. I have had a pair of original ts12 300 Watts rms. Had them for 4 years never let me down and even hired them out to small bands. If you run your desk properly then you will be OK.
I've got the TS308's and am pretty sure that I'll add a TS408 or two, but I just can't seem to get answers as to how to connect a bluetooth signal through a TS4 series to a subwoofer, and why is the bluetooth signal not available on the xlr output?
use a comp/lim with these and you'll have no worries.... good speakers for price. treat well and they will last.... be a cowboy driving these hard without comp/lim and they can blow.
Hi, I have notcied that the HI, MID are gone when DJing sound is really bad, very bassy, not clear whatsoever, I believe it may be the Tweeter. I only bought these speakers less than 10 months ago and have used them only about 6 times a small events? Is this normal? Do you think I would be covered with Warranty or any advice you can give me?
From my research, its a relatively common issue to blow a tweeter. However, it is usually down to user error. For example, I noticed you said you used these speakers for DJing. That would be 'Line Level'. Most equipment will have a line-level / mic-level switch. These do not. They turn into Mic-Level after the 12 o'clock position of the volume knob. This means it is easy to accidentally run line level equipment much too hot on these speakers. Did you use them with the volume turned up past the half way point on the speakers volume control? If so, you would have been running them past what they are designed to handle. Hope this helps some.
@@skeletalwreck Thanks for your reply. I actually had always under 12 o'clock at most I would have went to 11 maybe just under as they were very small gigs at home. Also I have software that would guide me to keep out of the red and how to gain the best sound so was baffled as to wy they have went so bad.
@@skeletalwreck Fortunitaly I'm still in warranty so just getting it ready to go back, I just prayer they sort it and try not act like it was my fault as I'm 100% I used them correctly..
@@dermyduffy666 are you going to go for the same model again, or a different brand? I was stuck between these and the JBL Eons, but they're more expensive.
I had a Pair of these speakers, I sold them, the sound quality was poor ended up getting RCF HDM 45A which are in a different league, I leaned the hard way and have had loads of equipment over this years that was pure crap, Your best bet is to save and buy quality!!!!
The better comparison would be to RCF HD12 A MK5 even then the RCF is twice the price. The reality is you could buy these or some other $400 speaker start getting gigs and making money and within 6 months reinvest into the high end stuff or you could just work your "real" job for another year till you save another 1500 and then start. Seems to me you should start with what you can afford and then if you need to reinvest. Even then if the Altos get the job done or the beginner controller is doing what you need then why drop 2k? It's a business not a status symbol. You don't see Dominoes Pizza buying Rolls Royce for their delivery drivers. Obviously, reliability is important, but you don't need to drop 2k to get reliable speakers for mid sized gigs.
I’ve had my Alto speakers for 10 years and never had to replace a driver. TS112A

Being a drummer I can confirm

So the last output 3rd from left to right can be used to add more ts315 just want to make sure because I had two already and wanted to add more?

Totally love the pur hase and will probably getting a second sub soon
But its tweeters will burned if ur output just closer to clip... I have pairs of same product 3 times burned hf( tweeters )
I have a pair of these and these things bump. great low ends and used them on many weddings with 100-200 people with no problem. ready to get the sub.
this is what I was looking for as a upcoming DJ
how are they holding Up?
planning to get these for the church
heard that there is alot of issue with the tweeter and it stops working if worked too hard
@@apmgaming6854I use them for bookings and have never had a issue the teeter only blows because people aren’t properly understanding the gain structure
Have you compared the 315 to the 415?not so much concerned with the bluetooth and that stuff but are is the extra wattage noticable?
There is not much of different is just the Bluetooth and a little different look o guess but overall is sounds the same. You might not notice any changes at all if u put them and test them together but they will tell that it has more power
Anyway the sound is the same . I mean is good and decent but if u compare to ev or qsc is different
Is there a way I can reset these speakers? One of mine won’t power on and the fuse is fine 😢

Thank you very much Robins
Do you remember which microphone did you use?
Great if you don’t mind fitting a new driver every few months 😀
Why is that?
@@showmak because you get what you pay for, the drivers overheat as they’re low end quality 👍🏼
Fact. Same problem and I always watch my peak
Alto, low end quality. You don't know what you're talking about!
negative. owned my altos for over 3 years. Never had that issues for a=my DJ gigs.. Always pair with sub if needed for a bigger event
how it us compared to yamaha dbr 15 ??
use a comp/lim with these and you'll have no worries.... good speakers for price. treat well and they will last.... be a cowboy driving these hard without comp/lim and they can blow.
Can ts 315 connect to 212 subwoofer
where can i buy this ts315 alto powered speaker?
At Guitar Center
They're on sell now at guitar center.

How do you rate them for solo singing?
Great comparison...$500 to almost $2000.
Funny that the expensive ones sound better 🤣
