Thanks for the video it helped me choose the 10” bought 2 of them and let me say that these speakers are really really good and they rival more expensive speakers if anybody are thinking about getting these I highly recomend alto
Great video! I'm looking for a pair of speakers to use as a stereo keyboard amp/monitor solution on stage with my band. Do you think the 2x8" speakers would provide enough bass for my keyboard? I play mostly Hammond organ, and piano. A store close to me actually has the TS310 on sale (because of the newer TS410) for $100 less than the TS408's, but the Bluetooth might be useful, and the less I have to carry and store the better :) Would appreciate your thoughts! Thanks again
I have the TS408 and I like them a lot. They sound great with my TS12S subwoofer so I feel like I have the perfect micro system edition now. I also have the TS415’s and those are loud, clear, and have heavy bass. My QSC’s have been put in the storage collection for a while as I’m using Alto all the way 👍🏾
Many wise opinions regarding the choice of speakers, but the location also plays a role, if it is outdoors one (or more) larger speakers are often required, if the room is filled with many people, it is the same. If there are many people talking, there are completely different requirements than if a small group sits down and quietly listens to your performance. This is my own experience that sometimes it takes more speakers than you think for it to be good. It is better to have several scattered on lower power than a few on high power. How much do the speakers cost in your country in Euros or dollars?Outside with lawn and bushes is different to in a city with concrete houses.
Very informative review thank you. I've been using TS310s for about 4 years now and think I'm going to have to upgrade soon, so I've been torn between the 410 or downsizing to the 408. I think you've helped me decide to go for the 408. I sing using full backing tracks and some karaoke tracks and have always liiked the sound of the 310, do you think buying 408s would be a good decision for me?
does TS408 have basic effects like echo/reverb, chorus etc.? If not onboard - can this be done via the app? I think Alto Busker have Alexis FX that has reverb. Not sure if Alto Busker app and TS408 app is the same app?
Thanks for the comparison! I would be interested in the TS408, but I have seen comments on the net that the Alto speakers give a lot of problems and break frequently. I would like to know what your experience with Alto speakers in this regard. Thank you!
Hi, I’ve heard that too but in my experience I had no problems and also other musicians I know using alto speakers after years of use are happy and had no problems.
I use a stomp box pedal that runs the vocal and guitar through the pedal and then into the speaker would you recommend I do the speaker switch line or mic?
Hi. I am in a 5 piece band drum, bass, guitar, keyboard, lead vocals. Are 2 TS408's good enough as a PA for small pub gigs? Soul, pop, blues. Only lead vocals, background vocals and keyboard use the PA. Thanks Steven
Hi mate,just bought this new TS408 and i am a bit disappointed,i dont know if this is normal for this series but i plug a mic on it to test,from volume 1 to until 12 o clock position,i have little to no volume,i can only hear the volume when i set it to 3 o clock to full position,is this normal foe this model?was thinking if it is a factory defect ? my old Alto TS110 series is louder than this one which ia only 300watts,they are marketing this 408 as 400watts more or less,on my TS110,you can already feel the volume at 9-10 o clock position,i was thinking of returning it,thanks
You are comparing two different alto products, it should be the ts410 vs ts408. The ts410 will smoke bother of them together. It's worth the extra $40 bucks for the alto ts410
Great comparison! Thank you. I am very interested in an 8" box but I wonder how well it would handle a bass guitar at a moderate volume to support an acoustic bluegrass band.
Thanks. That would be interesting to test, from one side 8inch and bass are two words that not really go together but from the other side the moderate volume can give some chances and maybe reserve some surprises. If you’ll have a chance do try it let me know how it works 🙂
That's peak 1000 rms new ones 2500 peak 1250 rms they're powerful for sure way more powerful than jbl 715 which is only 1300 peak and 650 rms my 12 in alto was more powerful than my eon 715
Because every company in the world states peak power ratings along side RMS, which is listed at 1000W on these wIth 650 to the woofer and 350 to the tweeter.
@@jimtalltheislandbrothers6639 not to mention his "127db corresponds to a maximum of 400w" completely ignores the fact that every speaker has a different sensitivity/efficiency so he's assuming these have a sensitivity of 101db at 1w/m to get that figure... There's 2 different drivers in it. Where did that come from?
Higher peak wattage = more headroom. Not meaning it will be necessarily any louder, but it will not introduce distortion unless those peak levels are reached.
On a different subject, that is some beautiful guitar playing, Francesco!

Agree, also about having more than one instead of one only big source of amplification if you can. In Uk it’s about £310.
@@FrancescoNasone Thanks, in Sweden its GBP 330.
I used 4 TS408 2x2 at a marketplace with 1 TS12S subwoofer; it was loud and clear
Thank for the comparision
V helpful! Thank you
thank you so much for this comparison!
Between the two would you say overall volume much different ?
thanks for the video, I bought a pair few months ago, now I´m specting the subwofer wich its the perfect companion...

Nice.Does it have microphone input and mic input?
can i connect yamaha keyboard with this speaker?

@@FrancescoNasone Good to know that. Thank you! 🙂
I wonder how these compare to the cp8 or even the k8.2
I have k8s, My friend will be receiving his 408 (non blue tooth) tomorrow. We'll be comparing this Friday. Maybe I'll post a video on the comparison.
@waynemiller6070 hey did you guys did any comparison video?
I use a stomp box pedal that runs the vocal and guitar through the pedal and then into the speaker would you recommend I do the speaker switch line or mic?
I wonder hoe these compare to the Yamaha DBR10 that weighs only 10.5 kg with a 10" speaker but costs a lot more
does it have reverb option?

Hi! If the gig volume is not too loud they can works! It depends also from the kind of music that you play…
@@FrancescoNasone we use a stagepass 500 now. It is enough. But broken. 8 inch is very small.....
Is true power suply 900 Watt, so many energy?

What kind of microphone are you plugging in? That sounds like a condenser mic that requires 48v phantom power.
Vorrei acquistarla ma meglio la 408 o la 410? Per karaoke?
I want to make a powerful dj set up with 2 18” subs and 4 8” tops I like the 8 punchy and powerful I have the new ts18s
Is Alto408 good for DJ an event for up to 70 - 100people?
There good for ceremonies
@@AbigailGraceFundora thank you

Is the Alto TS408 good for singing?
Yes it works fine for vocals.
@@FrancescoNasone Thanks, thinking of getting one!
We just need a battery on alto speakers
Thanks for the video. Is TS 408 flat response like Headrush 108?
I’ve seen some musician using the headrush and it should be quite similar to alto but I never tested it personally.
They’re the same exact speaker. Made by same company for both.
Great comparison! Thank you. I am very interested in an 8" box but I wonder how well it would handle a bass guitar at a moderate volume to support an acoustic bluegrass band.
Thanks. That would be interesting to test, from one side 8inch and bass are two words that not really go together but from the other side the moderate volume can give some chances and maybe reserve some surprises. If you’ll have a chance do try it let me know how it works 🙂
I would use sn extra sub speaker with the top; filter on ofcourse or you might blow up the top
Ts408 is a 8 inch also and not 10 inch like you said
10" sounds better on vocals
408 best
Bs jadi..dalemannye kan beda
2000 watts 😂. Why would these companies do this kind of false advertising? I would never buy one with those kind of BS stats.
That's peak 1000 rms new ones 2500 peak 1250 rms they're powerful for sure way more powerful than jbl 715 which is only 1300 peak and 650 rms my 12 in alto was more powerful than my eon 715
The new alto ts15 has 800 watts to the sub eon715 only 300 trust me it shows up when they are pushed not even close alto way more powerful
I don't know how alto can mislead people with 2000w, shame on you alto, 127db, corresponds to a maximum of 400w
Because every company in the world states peak power ratings along side RMS, which is listed at 1000W on these wIth 650 to the woofer and 350 to the tweeter.
That is peak power...RMS is lower. Not sure why most companies do that. I had the rcf evox 8 listed as 1400watts and again that was peak and not RMS
@@jimtalltheislandbrothers6639 not to mention his "127db corresponds to a maximum of 400w" completely ignores the fact that every speaker has a different sensitivity/efficiency so he's assuming these have a sensitivity of 101db at 1w/m to get that figure...
