Great presentation and comparison. Thanks!
Thanks for the comparison
This is a helpful video, thank you.
Great video !!
Grazie mille, un video molto utile e ben fatto. Secondo te la differenza abbastanza consistente di prezzo del bose è giustificata?
Hi, which one would you recommend for the Kemper? And Also for E piano and as E drum monitor ? Thank you !
How far apart can the TS408 speakers operate with the linking feature?
How far apart can the TS408 speakers operate with the linking feature
Could please advice me which one to go for between JBL Encore (100w RMS) and this TS408. I want to play it mostly on my room. both got similar price with some Christmas offers. TS is 30 pounds more costly. Mu second question is do you have any idea beside these two models? I love the sound of Klipsh SLP 100, to me is the best, but that is only a subwoofer and I do not know what I should buy to pair with it for highs, any advise on that would be really appreciated.
I have a pair of jbl 615 and i want to update in alto ts415 . I must mention that i have already 2 alto subs ts18 . I have a rock band and i want to perform in outside places ..Will be worth for me ?
I was considering the S1 and the Headrush frfr for using as a stage monitor jn church. Any thoughts ?
Nice comparison!!
Thanks!
3 years ago I went to test a roland piano and it was using and alto speaker 315 . It sounded amazing at low volume and I will be using jt in a med size room . Looking forward to hearing them .I am sure the 15 inch just gives more breadth . Thank you
Thanks Mate.
I use voicelive 3 with all composers and EQ.And I need 2 amps.
so 2 alto cost 600 £ and I will have a lot power.
which one is better sounding for dj?
awesome, thanks
That was a useful comparison. To my ears the Alto is much more open in the mids and therefore more natural sounding. The Bose, like everything they make has a lot of low mids, which sound good initially, but get very annoying in certain situations.
It’s quite easy to recreate the “Bose sound” with EQ, but considerably more difficult to “un-Bose” a Bose.
Agree, the Bose’s eq is quite strong and makes it more ready to go but less a white canvas to work on.
un-bose a bose lol thanks. I think this has helped me, I will stick to Alto.
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 these to a subwoofer, and why is the bluetooth signal not available on the xlr output?
Hi, i have a question, wich is better for electronic music?
Very difficult to answer it. I would say both are ok, just have in mind that alto is louder. Both can be suitable but probably you need to test them and see which one you prefer.
thank you Francesco, grazie! i have S1pro, if i need something more powerefull i will go for couple of ALTO ts408, with bose as a monitor!!!! what you think?
Buona idea. Sono anche molto curioso del electrovoice everse 8 sembrerebbe essere una sorta di Bose con maggiore potenza
@@FrancescoNasone ciao! Si ho visto un paio di recensioni.. comunque con un suono meno pieno del Bose, ma più potenza. Situazione simile all’alto. L’alto dalla sua ha anche il prezzo.
What bose model for sound system
Bose sounded more warm & natural to me❕
Thanks for the comparison. I surprisingly like the Bose more sound wise on your sample. Now I am confused. LOL
😬
I agree that the Bose has a better sound, less jangly. Francesco acknowledges this.
@@benjamingruder4875 not easy. At moderate volumes the general sound of the bose looks better but at higher volumes the alto sound more full. Also for me the bose sounds better on backing tracks but alto is more proper pa speaker sounding, with more punch and natural response on live music. Anyway I’m using both depending of the kind of gig I’m gonna play…
@@FrancescoNasone Great points about the Alto being better for live performance.
The sound of the guitar in the alto was so good it has that warm those lows sounds cool n with the bose is like it has a HP filter idk i would prefer the alto cause the sound it gave like without messing with eq is more workable sound i guess
Absolutely more white canvas the alto to work with
Fantastic ❕🤍
Hello, ts408 is used for multi-effects, I have a line 6???


I have seen many guitarist using this speaker like a frfr speaker for multi effects and amp simulators.
I have both I like the Bose for outdoor show due to the way the speakers project the sound in a wide way that attracts more people to your performance I use 2 Bose powered PA speakers I like the fact I don't need to eq the Bose a lot but I do i hate the knobs angles hard to see when adjust from an angle. Altos I use playing in hall spaces that are big and with a band setting I find is great, like every other PA like EV has great sound just bring mid eq down a bit treble slightly higher and your ready to go But as solo artist nothing beats the Bose you Got to have that warm sound easy set up and wide sound projection also Bose sounds great in halls bars and outside performances. You can even drive the speakers with tube amp pedal with eclectic guitar sound awesome warm punchy and loud without the harsh tones Iv been useing 6 years same batteries no issue with them they perform perfect. Alto I had 8 months still awesome powerful sound.
Nice review! Thank you
🙏
alto's winner🙂
You are a great musician
Thank you!
I bought the alto ts408 and find not a ton of vocal anything I can do in the eq? There is vocal but to you put the volume to more than half it doesn't really come through barely any recommendations you have ?
Check if you selected mic in the input, or in case use a mixer. Anyway it’s strange looks like the mic is not selected
@@FrancescoNasone I did select mic yes I don't really get volume til about 2 o'clock . Did you have a different experience?
@@eddy4022 yes, try maybe to check with other mics to see if that alto has problems or maybe your mic has little volume and needs more use of the preamp
If it's a dynamic mic, you may need something like a cloudlifter or another inline preamp to drive the speaker amp.
Sir it's ok if I use alto for my electric guitar w/ guitar effect? 😊
Yes, specially the 8 inch frequently is used as a frfr speaker
WHAT ARE THEY LIKE FOR VOCALS AND BACKING TRACKS
Both good. Probably bose more stereo feel for the backing tracks but alto is louder if you need it.
What about effects ????
Bose VS Alto with a little manipulation at Alto TS 408 I finally have the same sound as Bose but with much much more power . so bose pro 1 sold
but bluetooth of Alto is a big disappointment. Lacentcy too long so I bought a bluetooth of 5 ms lantency with 50 euros. Beautiful
Poderia comparar o ALTO com A Linha Bose ArenaMatch AM40 para ver no que daria!
Im impressed with Alto
Surprising, considering also how much sound it can produce.
Very good comparison. 👍 Thanks!
I would be interested in Alto TS-408. Do you think it would be suitable for a duo of 2 guitars and 2 voices?
We would connect the mics and guitars to a mixer, and from the mixer to the speakers (2).
I have seen on the net that Alto TS-408 has 1.000 WAT RMS. Do you think would be enough for audiences of 200 people or more?
If you use a couple of speakers lifted on stands and your aim is to have a background/med level music it can works. 200 people are quite a lot but It changes a lot if you're gonna play in a theatre or a quiet good sounding space or in a loud one. You can play a proper concert in good spaces and struggle in loud venues.
The idea is to play voices (2) and guitars (2) in closed spaces (theatres, etc.) I hope it's enough. Thanks for the reply!
@@Marthins1 I don't own the Alto's TS408 but I own Two Headrush FRFR 108 which are similar and actually seem to be manufactured by the same company. With the Headrush I've made venues of about 200 people mainly at church and they've been quite impressive, so I guess the Alto will be very similar since they're same power of 2k Watts which should be 1000 RMS
@@michaelfenix1159 Thanks for answering. I didn't know about the Headrush, it's really very similar to the Alto, it's good to know that you've done 200 people. Have you been using them for a long time? Have they given you any problems? Greetings.
@@Marthins1 Yeah I've been using them for about 4 years I just had issues with one of my speakers but it may have been related to the place that I used them, the electricity network didn't seem to be good so that may have caused the issue, but overall I've had many events and used them for long periods of time and no issues at all, I can tell they're very powerfull and I guess it's almost the same as the altos because the speaker is very similar almost the same with very little differences
what is better a ts408 or a Mackie thump go?
Ts408
Bose never did it for me. Like the Alto much better (IMO). Other no nonsense Portable PA's are Yamaha Stagepas 400 & 600 BT, Roland Cubestreet EX. All affordable and sound terrific. Thanks for the review. 👍
Try ts4 see how that sound with ts3
But the EV …doesn’t have Auto EQ which is amazing on the Bose
Good speaker don't need lot volume only head room
Two of the same speakers as compared to one will not sound twice as loud
I believe you are comparing a 150w battery portable pa speaker vs a 2000w powered speaker 😅
Probably due to the alto being cheaper
2000 on alto is peak/pmpo, not rms 🤦🏻♂️
@@markfrederick5012what’s the rms please
@@Daniel.S.Hypnotist root mean square
@@markfrederick5012 it’s a 2000w speaker?
me quedo con el alto por calidad precio
Alto is about $230 cheaper than RCF art 708A here
The JBL EON ONE has battery, app with EQ, and is LOUDER. You could make a video comparing them.
Uma comparação sem comparação...
Watching this review using my bose lol
Nice review.but too much talk in the begging with a 3 o 4 minutes of intro that ill be nice 😎
Bose no 1
Good video, but a lot of waffling and took too long to get to the point
Secondo me non ha senso compare due prodotti destinati ad usi diversi. Il bose è un partatile ricaricabile mente Alto ha bisogno di alimentazione ed è proprio per questo che la potenza è nettamente superiore! Semmai potresti fare un raffronto tra il Bose e Alto professional Busker che è un prodotto portatile e ricaricabile
Ts3 or ts4
TS4. newer technology. price isn't that much different. Go with TS4, if medium to large, the TS4 10" or 12 is good.
Can't compare battery portable Bose vs non battery 2000 watt alto !!
Bose 80rms alto 1000rms
acaso el alto tiene bateria cm el bose ,no se puede comparar
SORRY I DISSAGREE THE EV EVERSE 8 IS THE BEST SPEAKER AND IT RUNS OFF BATTERY IT ALSO HAVE MORE CONTROLS THAN BOTH OF THE SPEAKERS YOUR TALKING ABOUT
Alto nghe có vẻ ấm áp hơn bose
พูดเยอะกว่าลำโพง
I'll never buy Alto,
