ALTO TX308 - 350W Powered DJ Speakers, PA System with 8" Woofer for Mobile DJ and Musicians, Small Venues, Ceremonies and Sports Events

Just received two of the Tx410 for monitors !They sound great for the size and power ratings!Very light but surprisingly loud and clear. I set the eq to cut anything below 75 hz and set up compression on my mixer and gain to prevent overloading the he signal to protect the speakers!I will update after next gig with our 5 piece band!

I bought these to use as floor monitors for my band. They do a great job...lightweight, good volume and clarity and a small footprint. I recommend using a right-angle XLR plug if you use the speaker horizontally or else the plug will hit the floor and king the cable. I definitely can recommend these.

Muy buen producto

I purchased the Alto TX310 speakers primarily to use as monitors for small festivals and themed events, including dinner theater, renaissance fairs, and bar gigs. For larger, higher-budget events, I typically rely on my JBL speakers, but I wanted a more affordable option to protect my premium gear.I was pleasantly surprised by the loudness and audio response of the Alto TX310s. They exceeded my expectations given their price point. However, I encountered a small issue with the Gator bags I bought; the 10" bags were too large, so I had to order 8" bags to fit these speakers, as they are slightly smaller than other 10" models.While the low-end response isn't ideal for front-of-house (FOH) applications or DJ settings, they work perfectly as monitors for my intended use. I specifically sought out models without Bluetooth connectivity, as rogue Bluetooth connections can pose serious problems at professional events.Overall, for the price, the Alto TX310 speakers have performed exactly as I intended. They work great for my needs, providing a reliable and effective solution for smaller applications.

I've been using a QSC CP-8 for last 5 years with my duo. We use a single CP-8 high and behind for two mics, two guitars, and bass guitar. It works great and can cover large outdoors gigs. For the last 3 years I've been playing electric into a modeler while my partner plays acoustic guitar or bass. My acoustic guitar is currently retired.But with a modeler in my gig bag (usually a Spark Go these days, but I also have a UA Dream 65), I thought it would be nice to have something lighter for informal jams that could keep up with a drummer. At 25% the price and nearly half the weight of my CP-8 the TX308 seemed like a good solution. Its only shortcoming is I need a 1/4" female to XLR male adapter.Like the CP-8 you need to turn the bass down on your modeler if the speaker is placed on the floor. They are both voiced to be up on a pole. For music listening the CP-8 is no doubt capable of more volume. I did stress test the TX308 with bass guitar and it did not buzz or have any other issue. I'm impressed given the light weight and low cost. The overall build quality of the TX308 looks quite good to my retired electrical engineer's eye. If you want to run either speaker from a battery power station, they both draw about 5 watts running their DSP with no sound and are deafening loud at 10-15 watts of power from the wall socket.BTW, the Positive Grid Spark amps don't like having left and right (tip and ring) shorted together on their headphone output on the way to your powered speaker (sounds bad regardless of how you configure the output with the app: stereo or mono). A resistive summing cable is a bullet proof solution into a female 1/4" which might be TS, TRS stereo, or TRS balanced (3.5mm TRS stereo male with ~1K Ohm summing resistors to 1/4" TS mono).One other small, good thing to report is the handle molded into the TX308 case does not have any sharp edges. One of the nice things about the CP-8 is a great handle which I think matters compared to the sharp-edged molded handle in for example, the Yamaha DBR10. Another more expensive option, the Behringer B208D has no handle at all. If you're looking to travel light and make one trip from the car this stuff matters.

Awesome speakers loud and clear great bass

Great price for something that puts out really clear live sound. I am using this to give my wind controller a full range and take advantage of the super natural sound on my AE-20. The videos demonstrating this speakers makes it sound flat. Not tuning, I am talking dimensional. I tried it out and can say that the sounds have dimension. Many pro recorded audio give dimension to sound and the Bose allows for that dimension to happen. This Alto Pro 350w tx308 is so full ranged that it makes my good earphones sound less dimensional. Next to a Bose system though, Alto Pro still lacks dimension. But Alto holds its own. I appreciate the price.Update 9/18/2024:Unbelievably there is a high bias hiss sound when turning up the volume. I tried changing the wires and got new shielded cables. The speaker just does it on it's own. So if you are doing a LINE in and go up to the highest recommended you'll hear the HISS. Using my instrument (AE-20) requires me to be at a high level to hear it on the speaker. Plus I have to have it on MONO and not STEREO. This affects the sound greatly. For what the speaker is, it is good though. I think I will have to purchase a mixer just to handle my sound so that I can avoid the HISS. But as far as range, it is awesome.

I bought the 308 to try at home with my guitar modeler at “bedroom volumes.” It has plenty of volume on tap for that at just 9:00 on the dial. If I were to need it for a small venue gig I believe it would work just fine for that application as well, because 12:00 on the dial was rattling items in my office. My modeler sounds nice and clear, just like with my nice over ear headphones.The 308 is also a nice lightweight and compact size. I could travel with modeler in backpack case, speaker in one hand and guitar in other and have one trip load in.
