11:20 am. How would I use Mackie BTS 15s Thumps With Alto powerd subs ? On the 15s it says live plus subs. I want to buy two subs Atlos. But not if they won’t work with Mackies. Thank you. Atlos is cheaper
I have the Alto 12s and 10s how do I get the best sound
Been binging your videos. Can you do one on the Mackie SR18S and maybe compare with the Alto TS18S? Would love to here what your thoughts are on it
What stands are these?
Hello, I heard it in my store, it is amazing in warm pumping, but I noticed that it lacks power in bass pumping, although I raise the volume level in it, but the difference is very simple, although I raised it from 12 to 3 +? And I noticed in the spread modes at 180 degrees, the sound is very excellent, but 90 and 280, I think, are nonsense, nothing changes, and I am confused about my matter. I have Rcf nx985-a and I want to compare them to them. Are there any passing tips? Today I have an appointment to take my nx985 to try it in the store on ts18s
Seems like no one can get you to answer this… maybe because you sell both brands. Which do you like better, the Harbinger’s or Alto’s? I am wanting to get a pair of 15’s and a single 18 but can’t decide between the 2.
So you need 4 xlr cables right
It is my understanding that the Alto TS18S Subs actually do not have a crossover in them, while the TS415’s do have a crossover which sets via the "sub size" selector. I believe Alto recommends running your source into the TS415 first, and then out to the sub from the mix out of the TS415. Can you confirm which method is proper/gets the best results??
🕑 – where is unity on the 412 (or any 4 series PA tops)? Is it at full volume? I hear you mention you can put it full volume as you’ve paired it with an alto mixer… what would one do for another brand, or a DJ controller for instance?
Do you ever try to balance the subs and the tops with dB testing at different frequencies or simply by ear?
Thank you for your great videos 🙂
George
Can you plug all this into one 15 amp outlet or should you use separate outlets?
I’m just weirded out with this, why does the line level need the maximum level to be loud? I just find it weird, i was surprised when i was using it with a mixer and setting the volume to 12noon it was so quiet
I’m always torn between 15 or 12 tops with my EV ELX200 18 Subs. I’ve never used 15s but debating trying. We’re a live rock band that goes 100% direct. Guitars, bass, e drum kit, and vocals are right into the mixer and out. Would
You reccomend 15s to accommodate the Bass guitar and e kit or will the 12s be ok? Which setup would you recconend?
With altos top speakers, i have noticed if you use both inputs with a Y cable, it seems to give you more of a loudness. Can you do a video trying this out? Not sure if its just me or its a fact that you get more out of the speaker or not. I usually use one sub connected to left and right alto tops and use a Y xlr to use both inputs on the tops.
Perfect!
Hola una pregunta, para que sirve el boton de phase en el ts18s?? O en qué grados recomienda usarlo?? Gracias!🙏🏻🙏🏻
What table are you using?
Hi, in the second scenario using the two HB subs, you changed the tops speakers subwoofer settings, you made it as full range. Can you please the reason for this and is it recommended if we use the Pyle mixer which has Sub option, irrespective of Alto or Any subs ?? Thanks!!
What would you preferred Alto TS 415 or blastking Kxd 15?
Hello if its not a matching mixer for the TS415 how much gain should I put the TS415 in? We have a Yamaha 24mgpx and we have it setup exactly shown in this video Main Mixer > Alto Sub > TS415 top speakers. Thank you!
What is the continuous power for the new TS18S?
Hi! I have the same set, I connect it as in the video and I can’t control it to more than half the volume because the red LED on the subwoofer is flashing.
hi, can someone please explain why the information / instructions sent with the 18inch sub say the speaker / tops should be in mic mode when connecting the tops when to the sub but your video say otherwise, i am confused, please help… many thanks
Sir, I have a question. If I have the same setup (2xTS415 and 1xTS18s) can I use bluetooth input for sound into the TS415 linked together, and then connect each output of the TS415 into R and L of the sub. In other words is the bluetooth signal transmitted to the output. and if it is, is their any benefit in doing this?
Hey, can you help me please..I boght an alto ts415 and I don’t know how to adjust the bass to it. I mean usually there is a knob that says bass or trevel, but not on this one. And even on the alto app. I can’t get get it to be more bassy. So please could you tell me how to adjusted from the app. Thanks and have a great day..
I found on other sources that treating the subs separately from the mains is better because of eq and control over the low end that these would reproduce. Now, I know you did the traditional way first (out from the main, into the subs, then into the speakers), would you recommend doing it separately even if it’s just one sub?
Is there a 12" pa speaker that is just a good solid quality speaker with out all the DSP/bluetooth/app and other tech? I have a band (drum,bass,guitar,singer) and we use a "quiet" stage. So we have a nice mixer Allen and heath cq18t that does all the eqing and effects, so we don’t want to have to fiddle with speaker tech when our mixer does it and we can save the settings for different venues. We would use iem and a Roland kit so we need 2 12s and a 15 or 18 sub. And any recommendations? I do t want to pay for tech I already have and wouldn’t use, but I don’t know if that exists.
What setting would you put these speakers on for karaoke?
Can someone explain that knows the answer please
Line or mic ?
I have ts415 and 15 subs if I use ‘line’ on speakers with my desk that uses xlr outputs and xlr input to speakers , ( subs first) why is the Pa so quiet
Using Mackie fx 12 channel desk
Should I use mic cos the desk is sending xlr out ? It’s much louder but I wouldn’t say a cleaner sound at all
Or keep it on line even though I’m only using xlr outputs
I simply can’t get the volume as anything I put through the desk starts peaking on low gain
I have 2 ts415s with no sub and mostly use them for djing in line level.
Should i keep the speaker knobs at 12? Or can i them them all the way up
Like this "how to" video . Especially for newbie’s. Should be more of these ""how to" video’s , especially when introducing new products to use with another piece of gear.🎸🎸🎸
What pole mount should i use for the ts 415?
Greetings sir please I have a question I want to buy ALTO WIRELESS PRO FOR MY ACTIVE SPEAKERS IS RCF ART 500A POWER SPEAKERS but my subwoofer is passive, my tops is active I can use the alto wireless on it cable on the subwoofer will it sound on same frequency or one will be faster than the other please I need help thank you
do you think a 1x 415s can handle 2 vocal, 1 keyboard and 1 acoustic guitar? 4x4m room
Thanks for the amazing walk through.
I have 2 alto subwoofers ts315s and two top 315. Would you suggest that I put them on unity and control overall volume on the mixing board (for djing) or shall I go all the way up the maximum volume available for each speaker l, and control it from there?
Thanks in advance
are these made in the u.s.a ?
Thank you for the video. Do you know if I bluetooth stream to the ts410 that is connected to the ts18s without a mixing board if the bluetooth signal will be sent to the sub as well?
How about two speaker TS415 and I use subwoofer TS12S 2500 is it compatible sir??
Hi, Where can I get the casters for the Altos ts15” subwoofer?
Not sure I understand the crossover method on these new Alto’s. I’m not seeing a crossover frequency option on the sub itself and the tops have a weird sub option like they have to cut off their own low-end which gives me the impression the XLR out on the sub is just a "through". Is this the case? If so it would seriously limit the tops I could pair it with as they’d have to be able to manage their own cut-off.
What main board is the dj connected to when using both boards. Im confused how do i get sound going into both boards .
Добрый день мистер стоитли их покупать alto 415 или 215 е спасибо
hello
I have two Ts18S and two Ts415
when my Numark M6 mixer sends the sound via the Ts18s to the Ts415 via an XLR cable, there is only sound if the Ts415 is switched to MIC. that is wrong, it should be switched to Line, right? As soon as it gets louder, the sound sounds bad.
Which subs are better all around those alto or the harbinger? In your opinion
