I am starting my new DJ gig and found this speakers pretty affordable to start up and this review made me make the decision to get them, thanks man!
Sounds great! These are the videos and reviews we needs as DJ's and sound guys. I already test a pair of these at the store with the 12' Alto Subwoofer, which is another awesome all by themselves.
They do have a nice sound to them.
Great Review! Thanks for doing this video. I’m thinking of getting the Alto’s ts308. Will be checking your other videos.
Thank you sir glad you enjoyed it.
Thanks for the review, might have to buy a set.
Aa a DJ this is exactly the type of review and demo I was looking for. Thanks!
Thank you sir. They definitely have their place in the industry.
Great review!
Alto very good product !
Nice and thanks!!!
I got the 50’s now sounds amazing
The evolve 50s are my favorite, those are my go tos for every event and I supplement with my qscs if needed.
thx for sharing your inputs, its been awhile I am looking to buy a set of pa speakers.
Thanks for your comment. I've had all kinds of speakers, from Qsc to Behringer, all different price points but I really think this new alto ts series is a great option.
I like sound. Thank you very much. What is music? Sounds good.
nice review and nice scratch.
Thank you kindly
Tan bella my Bella 😍
Cable management is super important great work
hi, I would be undecided whether to buy the ts 308 or the tx 308 combined with the sub tx212s. I would need it for a home environment.I could give you some advice thanks
Nice!!!... Can i ask, what's they largest evento You would use them for, 100, 150, 200 people?... Thx so much
Are they good for vocals? Thinking of using them for karaoke.

Thanks for the video. what audio mixer suits the Alto TS308 when wanting play live sound music for parties.
Sorry for such a late reply, I'm not too sure as far as live sound but I imagine any mixer that has a decent EQ and effects will do just fine. I have a behringer x1204usb with effects for events that require several mics and it is pretty great.

good review . What do you think if you take two Alto TS312 for outdoor use ؟؟
Hello, sorry for the super late response but I haven't personally used the TS312 so couldn't give a real opinion. I use QSC K12s for my outdoor events and larger events and I love them.
Awesome review one question im planning to get alto ts415 are those enough without subs?
Sorry for the late reply, yes those are great without a sub.
Great video! Which one will you recommend for an electronic music dj for small-mid parties, Ato ts310 or Yamaha dbr10? thanks
I haven't heard any Yamaha speakers so I couldn't make a recommendation but would definitely recommend the alto ts310 or 312.
Great video! I'm just wondering how loud the hiss is from the speakers when playing them at your garage since you are standing so close to them. I want to get a pair for use in a somewhat quiet room, so how audible is the hiss from the speakers at a close distance with no music playing?
I didn't hear much of a hiss, however that also depends on clean power.
Thanks for sharing .. I've a pair of Alto TX310 - I plug in to my Harbinger L1202FX 12-Channel Compact Mixer - Left /Right output - (supposed to be Line level signal (+4 dBu or -10dBv) with Zero volume, I got a loud humming sound. I then try it on the Control Room output (again supposed to be Line level signal (+4 dBu or -10dBv) and with Zero Volume - it makes a loud humming sound .. However, when I plug my Serato DJ directly into the speaker XLR it plays good with no humming - Any suggestion?
ngl i have no idea about dj mixers or even these speakers but id try using balanced quarter inch cables if possible
I have two sets of these, I don't know if you have run into this problem yet, but the bas output on these, coupled with the small cabinets will cause the IEC power cords to vibrate and work themselves loose, causing the speaker to stop playing.... don't ask me how i know this, lol! But I would suggest getting locking IEC power cords for these speakers, especially if you are planning to play them at higher volumes, and with bass heavy music.
I have not had this problem but have not played them very loud for long periods of time. Usually I use these for cocktail receptions.
@@ludwigalvarezhouseofgroove7116 I took them to the club where I work and swapped a pair with the speakers that we run there, just to give them a thorough test while still in the return period..... they were holding their own, but I kept noticed that one had "died".... thought I killed it, only to find out that the power cord had worked itself out. I always run a sub with my tops crossed over, so it shouldn't be an issue, but I bought some locking IEC cords just in case.
oh yes the slipping out IEC cable lol it sucks
I just shim them with a little electrical tape it works fine
hey. can you made a teardown video of ts308? i would like to see inside it's woofer and high frequency driver unit.
There is a teardown video already out there. I'll see if I can find it for you.

Hi. Can i use Alto TS- 308 as home theater center speakr with Marantz pre processor ! Thanks.
Hey thanks for the review, do you have a link to the bag?
Yes, the bag is a gator gpa tote8 but rockville also makes a great one that is cheaper.www.rockvilleaudio.com/tb8-samson-xp150/?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiA-vOsBhAAEiwAIWR0Td8Zv321P-JA-bssDtKP52pSKOJ4UOhn-BmvHMqEVLpPO1ZqQyq0oRoCWoAQAvD_BwE
Great video! Do you know the model number on the Gater bag? Thank you in advance. Have a wonderful day
It's the Gator Tote 8

Am getting myself one of the 12inch one
Yes those are even better
Great information thanks and greetings, i have a question, where or how can i get the speaker power supply adaptor? The adaptor that you show at minute 2:02. Can you share the name or the brand?, thanks. Blessings.
I found them on Amazon here is a link.

How loud can these get and can I add subwoofers to them like the alto ts312s?
Sorry for such a late reply but these do get super loud and yes you can add an alto sub to them. The alto sub has a setting on the back that let's you select which alto top speaker you will be using.
Do you know the model no to the gator bag? Also will the 2 speakers power a ceremony of 100 guests?
A ceremony yes absolutely, you don't need much for a ceremony, really you could do it with one. The bag is a Gator GPA TOTE8.www.sweetwater.com/c448--Speak_Bag?highlight=GPATOTE8&mrkgadid=&mrkgcl=28&mrkgen=gpla&mrkgbflag=1&mrkgcat=drums&percussion&acctid=21700000001645388&dskeywordid=&lid=58700008506359857&dsproductgroupid=&product_id=GPATOTE8&prodctry=US&prodlang=en&channel=online&storeid=&device=c&network=x&matchtype=&adpos=largenumber&locationid=9028984&creative=&targetid=&campaignid=20438014553&awsearchcpc=&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiA-vOsBhAAEiwAIWR0TVQjIwSmg9ViOdJG2fmyw-Fs1NtiMwg45vuHCmJf4I8HP7mL19j-gRoC8dYQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
I recommend the Rockville tote 8 which is much cheaper and good quality.www.rockvilleaudio.com/tb8-samson-xp150/?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiA-vOsBhAAEiwAIWR0Td8Zv321P-JA-bssDtKP52pSKOJ4UOhn-BmvHMqEVLpPO1ZqQyq0oRoCWoAQAvD_BwE
Hey man, great video. I picked one up along with the Alto Bluetooth Total. The speaker are costing $229 everywhere at the moment. Picked mine off of Amazon. Which is the Fox battery pack you mentioned? Did you get it yet?
I too bought the Bluetooth Total and the battery pack is the Foxnovo

DJ Ludwig Luda Alvarez I have that one in my cart. Wanted to see if there were any others. Thanks for the reply man!
@@HorrorFreakNY I actually tested it out today and ran 1 alto 308, 2 ev wireless mics and a yamaha 8 ch mixer for 2 hours 30 minutes and still had 20% left on the battery. Highly recommend it.
DJ Ludwig Luda Alvarez Wow, all of that for 2 and a half hours! Nice!!!
@@HorrorFreakNY yes that's my wedding ceremony set up now and let's be honest what outdoor ceremony lasts more than 30 minutes.
Would these be good for play music that I am laying down recorded tracks and then singing to as well as playing an edrum set through? Are these as good or better than the Behrenger PK110A? For the $300 area which would be the best speaks for my needs?
Hi Mark, I personally had a pair of the first Behringer powered speakers and they were great, not sure about that particular model. These speakers are loud and I find myself turning down the bass on my mixer to avoid distortion. For the price I think these are great speakers but for your drum set I would probably go up a step to the ALTO TS310 or TS312 for that better kick drum sound.
@@ludwigalvarezhouseofgroove7116 What about the Alto tx310?
@@MHTownsend57 I haven't heard those in person but I imagine the larger woofer will give you that nice kick drum bass.
@@ludwigalvarezhouseofgroove7116 Would the Alto Tx310 be better than the Behrenger PK110A?
@@ludwigalvarezhouseofgroove7116 Check the price, the Alto is super cheap, same with the Behrenger.
I don't have enought budget can I use 1pc speaker for my mixer only?
Absolutely you can, start with one for now and add the second when you can.
How can i find them power cords with the extra plug?
Amazon, here's a good option.www.amazon.com/Tekit-Splitter-Single-Female-Adapter/dp/B08HSMHSSJ/ref=sr_1_9?crid=3KWTPHAIP8TLC&keywords=iec+extra+plug&qid=1704820288&sprefix=iec+extra+plug%2Caps%2C121&sr=8-9
What about bass
I am planning to buy alto ts 315 (2000watt ) models .
Is it good for bass subwoofers outputs ?
Reply me
Sorry for the late reply sir, the alto subs have a built in dsp that you can choose what top speaker you are using and will automatically adjust the ts315 so yes they would work great, it has 2 inputs and an output.
should this work with a microphone for band practice you know?
Absolutely, it's a very versatile speaker.
I'm debating between these and the jbl irx108bt. I hear that the Altos are easy to overwork and mess them up. I plan to use them for small 50 people parties and for using around the house. I like the bluetooth option on the irx, but I figure I can get that with the bluetooth stick from alto. Anyways, what are your thoughts between these models?
These Altos are great for many small events, ceremonies, receptions, cocktail hours but i would go with your bluetooth option you're looking at. I still use these often and rent these out often.
Thanks for the review. May I ask why you didn’t get the 310s?
I have multiple other speakers like qsc k12s and ev evolve50s so really didn't need a bigger speaker. I guess I bought these for the small size and lightweight mostly for cocktail hour purposes. We've even used them for backyard Birthday and graduation parties and they've been plenty.
@@ludwigalvarezhouseofgroove7116 thanks
I have a small space of 16x15 , will I get away with 1 for karaokes or 2 will be better?
Sorry for such a late reply, 1 will do fine but I like 2 of everything for balance.
@@ludwigalvarezhouseofgroove7116 EXCELLENT REPLIED.
Can you hang lights from the top
Sorry for the super late reply, I didn't realize the video was popular. They do not have any fly points but I imagine you can get a clamp that would attach to the side handle and mount a light there. Good luck.
How did u buy the bags for $35 dollars the Gator bags are 69 dollars for the 8inch bag from zsound let me no please
Sorry for such a late reply, the gator bags I found on Amazon. Of course everything has gone up in price. I recently found new bags for some other speakers that are made by Rockville and they fit the TS308 as well. They were $49 each on Ebay. ROCKVILLE TB8 V2 Padded speaker bag.
How many do i need for a karaoke in 12x12 space?
You would be fine with 1 in that small space.
Anyone compared these Alto with the QSC CP8?
Im sure the QSC's blow these out of the water, these are budget friendly and would recommend using a sub with them or just going with a 10 or 12 inch version.
Can i use this for movies and gaming?
I don't see why not. Plenty of power.
That got a little thump to it!
They sound really good for what they are
Are they a 10 inch?
The ones I have are 8 inch but they do have the 10 inch version.
Do they still do ts315
Yes I'm pretty sure they still offer it.
Are these standalone spkrs?
Can I charge them and then use like on battery?
No u can’t
@@trivjay9209 do you know any model dj spkr out there that I can charge and play without the need to go through a wall?
@@DJ_Matnation you could check jbl, they have some good ones
@@trivjay9209 Thanks
They are not, I have a pair of the jbl compact pros, they are rechargeable and has a built in mixer, its very loud and the battery lasts over 12 hours.
Is this not about the TS308, the conclusion suggests otherwise
Now I cant find them under $269..
Sorry for such a late reply. Yes you are so right, everything has gone up so much but I still use these from time to time and they are still great for what I use them for.

Si amigo.

Do you do all your events with the battery packs or is that just an outdoor use ?
DJ Ludwig Luda Alvarez about half I am going to start using for my controller
@@DjBriteEyes man that is awesome. You can literally do a party in the middle of nowhere with as many battery packs as you have.
