high-frequency performance and produces a very precise 90?H X 60?V radiation pattern—ideal for optimal audience coverage. I participate in a weekly worship service at a local nursing home. Our old Peavy amp quit working and I didn't think it would be worth looking into getting fixed. I asked Jonathan Appleton for his advice about using a powered mixer with our existing speakers. He understood that we couldn't spend any more of the church's money than we absolutely had to, and he recommended using a powered speaker with a good inexpensive mixer. He recommended this speaker and an appropriate mixer and we couldn't be more pleased with both the price and the performance of the speaker. We haven't been using it long, but we can definitely reach all the way throughout a medium sized dining room and probably a lot further. I can't imagine a better solution at any cost.Conectores: (1) XLR/TRS 1/4” (6,35 mm) entrada balanceada (Línea / Micro), (1) Salida XLR (Link), (1) Entrada para cable IEC (red eléctrica) As I am sure many here are aware, Alto has updated its popular TS2 series to the TS3 series. While they had a TS208, there was little information around on that size, with most attention on the TS210 and TS212. Tapping on the case reveals some panel resonances, which is not uncommon with moulded speaker enclosures, and this is most likely a contributing factor to the lower‑midrange sound coloration I heard when playing full‑range material through the TX310. I got the impression that the speaker had been voiced to give a good account of the low end and to deliver a crisp treble, but at the expense of some midrange clarity. Some low‑mid cut centred around 200Hz cleaned this up to a useful degree, especially in a vocal PA setting, as it helped tame some of that unwanted boxiness. There’s also a useful amount of mic gain if you plug a mic directly into the XLR input, which is always good to know for those ‘broken mixer’ emergencies or for basic announcement work, though there’s no opportunity to add EQ or effects if you work that way.

Power comes from Class‑D amplifiers rated at 350 Watts peak or 175 Watts continuous, and the overall system has a specified frequency response of 75Hz to 20kHz at the ‑3dB points. Protection is provided by a built‑in analogue limiter and additional thermal overload protection circuitry. Two LEDs indicate power and the presence of signal/clipping, while a rotary control adjusts the input gain, which offers enough range to cater to both line‑level and mic‑level sources. There’s also a power LED on the front panel. The maximum SPL for a single speaker is specified as 117dB at a distance of one metre, which although not massive, should be adequate for many types of small venue applications including solo artists, duos and bands without loud drum kits. The speakers are suitable for both vocals and instruments such as guitar, though you’d need the larger models and/or an additional subwoofer if planning to put bass or drums through the PA. With a little mixer EQ you can get a very workable vocal sound out of these speakers, and a pair will provide adequate volume for smaller venues... That means your audience will hear all the important details - no matter where they're stood. The TX308 makes precision a priority. That's why the bi-amplified design has a built-in active crossover and EQ, making it easy to manage unruly frequencies. This ensures optimum sound quality, regardless of application. The Alto is pretty much the low end pricing and is targeted for general use with a big market segment in mobile DJs and the Dance Mix crowd. For that reason they provide a fair amount of wattage for the money but very little in c apabilities to contour the sound of the speaker other than boosting the bass frequencies.

Is there that significant a difference? And I am a car guy that happens to have a Mercedes, so I can relate.

For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs. Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided. I'm always looking for a better way to monitor my live ever-changing keyboard rigs with the various bands I play with... and decided I would try a pair of this very inexpensive powered monitors for their size and wattage. Absolutely thrilled with just how clean, clear and actually loud I was able to push these puppies. As floor wedges aimed at me directly or surprise - on a pair of speaker poles to bath the stage (and other musicians), they did just what I had hoped... allowed me to hear all my gear and playing (even my mistakes...rats).Has anyone used the TS308 yet? What are your thoughts relative to the TS310/TS210? It is only slightly less costly, so that is not my concern at all. I do appreciate the smaller footprint. My plan is to get 2 of whatever I decide, so as they say, size matters. This product can be delivered to you for free. Just add it to the basket to see the full range of services you can choose from.
