TS315S TRUESONIC 3 15-INCH POWERED SUBWOOFER
There are times when your sound system needs additional low-frequency output and “punch.” For those situations, Alto Professional proudly offers the TS315 powered subwoofer. This subwoofer extends the bass response of virtually any fullrange speaker, relieving that speaker of the difficult task of having to reproduce the low bass frequencies. The result? A system with stunning wide-range response characterized by dramatic, impactful low frequencies and effortless, undistorted mids and highs. The listening audience will hear everything with perfect clarity, from the lowest bass synth tones to the highest percussion bells and everything in between.
2000 watts of peak power output
High-efficiency Class D amplifier
Transducer: 15-inch with 3-inch high-temperature voice coil
(2) XLR+1/4-inch combo inputs + (2) balanced XLR line outputs
XLR outputs, with six discreet DSP output modes for ideal matching with companion full-range speaker
Polarity Reverse switch and Extended LF switch for increased EQ control
Electronic clip, thermal and transducer overdrive protection
Rugged, internally-braced front-ported MDF cabinet with integrated 36mm pole socket
Rugged, mar-resistant splatter-spray finish always looks good, even with heavy use
Designed and tuned in the USA
1 year Canadian serviced manufacturer warranty
TS315S features a rugged, long-excursion woofer mounted in a solidly-braced ported enclosure, computer-optimized for powerful low-frequency performance. The enclosure itself is made from a dense wood composite. This strong, resonant free material has virtually perfect acoustic characteristics, which ensures that the subwoofers’ output is always clear and impactful. Conventional enclosures with flex-prone thin metal or plastic walls actually rob the speaker of acoustic impact by dissipating the driver’s energy as cabinet vibration. A sturdy, braced wood composite enclosure doesn’t waste the driver’s motion as cabinet resonance.

Ur the reason I just bought my full alto kit setup.. thanks so much 👏👏👏👏
Thank you so much for your professional presentation. You're very knowledgeable and keep things very interesting. Thanks for your great service!
Sounds great!! I like the the way the 10 sounds with the sub beast of a micro pa. Awesome video as usual!
Hands down the best review channel!!
I have the TS315 with just 1 TS318S and Man can you sure feel them. I can't even use 2 Subs it hits so hard. Love the purchase. Great Video
so how long have you used 318s
@@DjBriteEyes I have used them almost 4 months. Love them. All I can say if you use 2 man it's a party for sure. Club style I mean
@@DavidrKun thanks so much you cant beat the price
I'm having a hard time finding the TS315S to buy locally. I could buy a TS318S tomorrow if I wanted. I'm wondering if there are any issues having a 2 different model subs? I play shows live with our own PA system. Any feedback on this? I was considering ordering another TS315S online, but maybe I should get the 18"
Wow 😲 Amazing sound
Chillen sub definitely going to cop a pair🔥
Awesome reviews as always! I just have a question; I occasionally take my gear out to small- medium size events, as I am part of a small band. that is why I recently bought 2 ts315 tops, to start off with a good sounding system that gets loud enough for events that I do. By the way cudos to you, as your review of that speaker is what played into my decision to buy them. Anyway, would one of these subs paired with 2 ts315 tops provide adequate bass coverage for a small to medium size event? I just would like to have some opinions as to the amount of space this 15inch can fill up. thanks!
Hi,
I'm about to replace the old passive subs i use.
After watching your presentation i believe that these TS315s would be my best option to suit my TS315 top speakers.
However in Australia they retail at around $850 each, whereas the Behringer B1500xp retails at around $689.
$1378 vs $1700 (for a pair) is a fairly big jump in price.
Do you think they are worth the extra?
Thanks for your videos.
Just re-watched the video, and while I appreciate the effort that goes into making an in-depth review like this, I noticed something....your SPL meter is set to A-weighted, which rolls off the low end, and is primarily used to measure sound levels in factories and determine safe exposure levels. When used to evaluate speakers, the unweighted or C-weighted scale is more accurate, since it includes the lower frequencies when measuring.
Thank you for noticing that. I watched some videos about weighting and you are right. from now on I will test in C. FYI I got 10 extra dB out of the Speaker.
@@expertisland now that's how you respond to a particular comment such as this one. Respect for your natural humble attitude.
@@leeasbury7273 should always be learning. Good words
got two of these subs with the alto 15inch tops and more than enough power, been running them for two years now with no problem or complaints
That is a great combo the 3-way setup with the 2-way tops plus 15" subwoofer under each top.
@@expertisland watch most your vids on utube very informative keep up the good work m8
I’ve seen a lot of videos big up Alto but unfortunately had a speaker delivered to me faulty (by a different vendor). I suspect it was dropped. Is there a way to do a test on how durable these are? The faults are occurring either with the speaker being dropped or driver dying. Thanks for your videos!
what if I crossover to TS415? what button do I use?
Would this go well with the Alto TX series speakers, specifically the TX312?
Hey there, would this one be worth spending 150-200 more than the behringer vq1500? The behringer has great reviews and seems pretty good as well and has decent cabinet and 500 watts. So much in doubt because in theory the specs are quite similar. thank you!
Can you do a video comparing this Alot sub with the JBL815XLFW? Also, many thanks, and awesome review!!
You have good quality speakers I don't think you will get much from low/medium quality sub. Try JBL 18" sub or Ev EKX or RCF. Watch this video th-cam.com/video/FX7d16wcS6U/w-d-xo.html
So my question is, if you have a different brand for your tops, how is it going to match or know what you have? Do you just say, choose the ts312 if you have a 12 inch top non alto brand? Any inputs is greatly appreciated.
Nice punchy punch bass
Hi . Can i use Alto Ts-308 as home theater center speaker ! Thanks.
what cable did you use for input in Alto subwoofer? I was confused a little bit..
I love alto subs , still using my alto trusonic ts sub12, (perfect size and output for most events I do ). I was planning on buying the new 3 series subs but the cabinets are now made of MDF. Way heavier!! And not resistant to weather/humidity,,,Noooo
Hi sir , i need ur honest opinion as always, i have 2 ts315 tops, (i bought coz of ur best review) and i no regret.. now i want to buy ta312s (one for the moment) (like u said icing in the cake) i want it coz of the size and still fit to my car,, but question is since i have the 15” top is it look good if i put it on the top of sub 12”.. i m worried if it is too small see.. this si matter of presentation now.. coz i know how loud the ts3 series.
Is it compatible with QSC speakers? I mean can they be linked?
Alto needs to redesign its amps.. A separate switch for input /Mic would help many of the ignants who go to the 1oclock position and wind up blowing the speaker
Sounds great! But Alto needs to put back thier built in cooling fans in the back panels..great videos Mr. Island man👍! You have by far the best review videos....so many decisions now a days, lol 😂! What happened to the more simple days 🤔..... God bless 🙏!
Would this work with a mackie thump BOosted tops?
Hi, im about to add another two TS315s is it possible to daisy chain four subs and how thanks
Will it sound good on 2 ×12" typhon powered wharfdale tops ..?
Can anyone help about power ratings cause my rcf 18 inch 700rms subwoofer seems to reach it's physical limits after 100w. My question is: are the power ratings overrated for PA too just as a lot of car audio subs?
Where ampifire from for pa to put some in different speaker
I would certainly have considered to give the Alto subs a shot, but the TS3 subs are way too heavy in relation to their performance.
Saved up a lot more and got myself 2x EV EKX-15SP which are the absolute limit of what I can carry around for
How do you like the ev subs? Choosing between this and the passive version of the ekx-15sp. thx
@@crispa1861 Due to Corona, I only got to use all my PA sound equipment only once (at all). But I can say with confidence that two of the EKX-15S subs were more than enough for a 200 people event (seated, indoors). If I remember correctly, I had them running at around -10/-12db and the were amazing! Deep enough for 95% of the mainstream music, easy to carry even up one flight of stairs and easy to set up (note, the lowpass does NOT affect the XLR outputs, only what the sub itself plays).
I am not a pro sound guy, but I have great memories of what the EKX-15S were capable of. Together with the ELX-200 12p mains (which had to be cranked up higher to about -5db and sounded a slight bit overwhelmed), 2x Alto 308 as monitors and 2x Alto 308 as delay lines.
Cant say anything about the passive versions though.
@@DSP1337 thx for replying. Will keep. your opinion handy. Stay safe.
Great reviews look forward to more content. Looking for monster subs what is your recommendation out of
1.PSA S7201
2.JTR 4000ULF
3.Monolith M215
4.SVS PB16
Will use for home theatre mostly and kids will use for music in the basement. Looking for the boomy, deep, rumble sound thanks?

What if Im using TS410 what DSP output mode I will use? Is it 310?
I need one
I would love some advice - I’m a solo guitar play/singer that uses drum/bass backing tracks. (And I also host karaoke from time to time.). Generally small bars/pubs - 75-100 people max. I’ve tried some of the compact array systems but they seem to crap out. Do you think I could get away with 10s over 12 subs, or should I go 12s over 15 subs?
Also, thank you so much for these videos!! They are incredibly helpful and always my go to when looking into new equipment.
Can it match with the JBL Eon 612.
I have 2 ts410 tops is this 15 or would a 12 be sufficient for small parties 50 to 100 people can't decide
thank you for pulling the grill off, how would this alto stack up to ev ekx 15 sp just wondering.
It's not the same league, nothing from Alto can match any Exk or ELX quality and sound
thanks you so much.
@@elishasoussan798 i have Ev EKX 18sp and looking at getting alto 315s
@@elishasoussan798 Are you sure? I wasn’t impressed with the elx-18 not sure about the ekx-15sp it may be ok but I’ve heard the ekx-18sp is quite good.
Dose it have vocal or just bass went got my one just bass 1200w
is it compatible with the Mixpack10
Can you do video on 1200
What's the title of the music?
Hi expert island, would a pair of there be able to keep up with a pair of jbl prx812 tops?
No you will need something with More Power and size
Just watched a video where a ts318s burn up the coil form its own amp in less than 30 sec..
I still run my ts115 and trusonic 18 sub without problems . just wondering if the amps are too strong for the woofer now.
I watched the video and I have seen them before, Fun to watch but not a way to test an 18" pro audio sub-woofer any brand. I do feel bad for the store they return it to. and the customer that buys an abused product.
The Driver is matched to good with the amp plate, there is no damping inside the box so the bass can reverberate from the box not just the driver and ports. 18" subs are for clubs and halls.
@@expertisland thanks.. I thought 30 Hertz some wave straight was abuse also
Is it okay if I will be using Alto TX215 as tops for the TS315S? what crossover setup should I use? Thank you!
if you have 2 TX215 on top with 1 TS315S that would make a nice set. try the DSP setting for the TS312 and TS315 your going to like the sound of one more then the other.
@@expertisland Thank you so much!
How does it compare with 215sub
Is it available in kolkata market?
If I have the TX208s, can I still use the 308 DSP setting ?
yes. but i suggest you the 12 inc sub
I ordered 2 x TX210 for home dj, and looking to add a subwoofer for mobile gigs 50-100 people, would a TS312S work with the 2x TX210's ?
I Talk about your Question in the Q&A Video Have a look th-cam.com/video/-e1vapANQJ4/w-d-xo.html
@@expertisland lol thanks. I actually did some more research and I exchanged them in for a TS312 and TS312S set. Planning to add same set when doing mobile gigs. For now only studio. But thanks for verifying my concern ... And it's pronounced lying king ... Like in Lion King ;)
Did you end up using them to mobile dj? I am wondering if two 310 and 1 315s is enough for 200 people outdoor mobile event
Is it true that the + - 3db for all the subs, 12, 15 & 18 is 43 hz? Also is that with the LF extension off or on? I'm looking at the 12 inch and wondering how deep it goes with and without the LF extension on
I wouldn't think so. Specs on the previous TS2 subs show that the 12 doesn't play as low as the 15 and 18. I would expect the TS3 subs to have similar characteristics.
The word amazing is reserved for Jesus, however I really like your channel and would like to upgrade to Alto some time in the future. My system now is old school YAMAHA and Crown they are a lot of fun to make some sounds I put my midi keyboard through them.
Hi there, I had a pair of JBL 612. Is a piece of Alto 315s compatible or I buy a Alto 318s to much better sound for pair of 612 and bass will sound out good? Thanks..
18" alto would be first for a DJ for a band the 15" both are great for the JBL EON
@@expertisland thank you for reply
I am planning to get this sub, however, I have a second thought if this is matching with my 680-watt Yamaha Stagepas 600BT with 340W power per channel. Can you recommend this set up?
Yes you can just match them up with the gain knob from the subwoofer... And that way is better coz you dont need to push your subs that hard
This has DSP for 8/10/12/15 inches that will match ur speaker used.
Is this ts315 sub good for outdoors? Can I use one of these ts315 sub connected to two ts315 tops or do I need two subs? I move around so I would prefer to get one of this sub than the ts318 sub which is more powerful. What's your expert advice?
I've got ts312s and sounds crazy good outdoors
@@rumenivanov1586 Thanks for your response. 2 questions. Is it one TS312S that you use? What size speakers do you use it with?
Alto speakers products great, but in mixer (1202) delay is not good for singing.
Does alto carry a ts4 series sub considering I have that that series tops
Alto new subwoofers only have TS no 4 or 3, one line of subwoofers to rule them all TS12S, TS15S, & TS18S Reviews coming in December
What do we need to safety/secure the electrical power supply of this ts318s 2000W? sorry noobie
I'm going to need more details
TS315S subwoofer is cheaper (-$100 us), lighter and smaller in size. Is TS318S worth it?
How use 2000w sub with 1200w sub
Also what hz is the generic hypass set at
I will look that up.
@@expertisland The "high pass" is 100 Hz". I found that in the user guide, page 7.
Great Job -Thank you Dan.
Cheers!
If I hook a JBL Eon612 with this, will it not sound as good as if I get the Alton ts312?
This Sub is a Great add on for the JBL EON612 ( your Subwoofer Does not have to Match your Top Speaker )
expert island Thanks. I actually got the Eon615 because I liked how clear it sounded in your other video (against tue eon610)
Can we use Alto subs with mackie tops?
For sure, mix and match to make the sound you like.
Ive got a set of yamahs dxr 12's. Would these subs come close to keeping up?
DXR12mkII 12" 2-way SPL of 134dB with 1100W - 1 Subwoofer per top if running the tops at 75% Plus
I just bought this and love the sound, however when I pair them with my TS312 speakers and use the correct dsp setting and engage the extended LF button it actually reduces the bass. Is this normal?
i am looking on buying whats your thoughts
@@DjBriteEyes I say buy it! You won't regret it. It has really powerful sound, but just like the guy says if your going to use the extended low frequency button make sure you are at 50 percent volume or less.
@@2332gregor sounds good want to use them with 310s
You might be out of phase. Try toggling the phase button on the sub and see if it improves things. BTW, by being out of phase, you're actually noise canceling the lower frequencies. So it's important to toggle that phase button on the sub to what sounds right.
@@koreandude81 Thanks I'll give that a try.
I really want to buy one of these, but there is just one problem...Nobody has any in stock! Every retailer I've checked says they are unavailable or on backorder I have not seen anything about part supply issues on any Alto web site, Facebook page or Twitter feed. Does anybody know anything about why they are not available and/or if Alto has discontinued them?
global crisis of component/parts. drop of sales during past covid causing supply issue. many of PA product from brands such as: EV, Behringer, Alto. out of stock in my country and cant be sure when is next delivery
@@rsgr3963 - that’s what I figured. I was hoping someone from Alto would reply, but I guess they don’t monitor these video comments. I see plenty of 12” and 18” subwoofers available, but the 12” doesn’t give me the low end I need and the 18” is just too big.
I think after talking with My alto rep 4 to 6 weeks ago the ETA then was November. But these thing change all the time. the 15" sells out fast, when ever there is no stock of the 12 or 18 everyone just buys the 15 inch.
@@expertisland similar with turbosound they gave ETA nov or dec

Hi you never noticed that the Sub goes in standby in 7 sec. after there is no signal, even the DSP goes off,. tharts not Professional. that is komplett stupid ... wenn the sub goes by a singnal on again then it gives a littele Klick 😞 alto can do Better !!!
1000 isn't twice as much as 650.
