Bought a pair of ALTO TS 112A

[Spirits High]

I'm looking at adding a back up pair of actives to my stock and also for the occasional dry hire.

I've been drawn towards the ALTO TS 112A

http://www.altoproaudio.com/products/ts112a

Spec is:

800 Watts Class D power
12” low frequency transducer, 1” neodymium driver
2 Mic/Line combo inputs with independent volume controls
XLR output to link speakers
Lightweight, trapezoidal cabinet with handles
Use as a traditional upright loudspeaker or as floor wedge monitor
Stand/pole mountable or flyable
Clip Limiter with Red LED
Ground Lift switch
Contour switch for increased EQ control

Coming in at £429 a pair which sounds (pardon the pun ) reasonable to me.

Anyone got these or heard these?

Not 800w rms there 400 rms but what i would do is go for a listen

That spec was lifted directly from their website so they've probably been clever and quoted for a pair

Going for a listen is easier said than done.

Looking at technical spec it is 800w peak power, 400w continuous so I would say approx 200w RMS. That is small so probably why it is cheap price.


TECH INFORMATION

Transducer Low: 12” Woofer, with 2” voice coil
Transducer High: Neodymium compression driver, 1” exit with 1” voice coil
Power Amplification: 800 Watts peak (670 W LF + 130 W HF), 400 Watts continuous (335 W LF + 65 W HF)

Not heard the speakers, but I use an Alto X23 active crossover and it seems to deliver all the expectations. Can therefore recommend the brand

Well I took the plunge and bought a pair and they've just arrived.

Very impressed sound great. Good Bass for a 12". Nice & solid, not too heavy. Even got a funky blue led on the front .

Think I've done alright here

The only fault I can find is that the XLR just pushes into place and doesn't click or lock in place they're just pushed in.

Couple of pics if you don't know them

looks nice - what are you going to use them for??? Main speakers or part of a bigger PA setup???

Paul, My JBl`s dont click into place and I have had no problem whatsoever

Back up speakers incase the RCFs go Pete Tong and the occasional dry hire to a local venue.

The dry hire side of things is solely for one venue as they do alot of DIY Weddings

Oh right, just thought it was a bit strange but if it's normal ish then no worries!

Wow are you looking to hire them to Pete Tong, will he be using them as monitors?
