Alto Professional TS115A | 15" Active 2-Way PA Loudspeaker with Integrated Mixer (800W Peak / 400W Continuous)

Just started DJ'ing seriously and I searched for months to find a speaker in my budget that sounded good. I bought one of these just because i heard good things from Guitar Center and never heard them before i purchased them. Must say I'm impressed with them. I only bought 1 of the 15's to test it out and it sounded great at the few venues i used it at already. Clear has some deep base and i have yet to turn it up to max power and have been told to turn it down as it was loud. Best thing is that they are durable and even light weight to carry compared to quite a few others i've picked up. You wont go wrong witht these I'm buying the 2nd 15 shorltyDJ Ego

This PA Speaker is worth every penny. If you want one for home or a party outdoors it is plenty loud and the cops will be called. It has quality sound. the bass between the 12 and 15 inch is not much of a difference. I used it one time and I had friends wanting to know how much and where to buy it.

i dj and these are what i was looking for they sound & look great .I keep playing with them and like very much on how they are at such a great price and at a high quality

Purchased 2 used speakers. Both stopped working intermittently for no reason after only 5 minutes of use. Changed out cables, power source, etc. to no avail. I have noticed others online with the same issue and I will not purchase ALTO again. Buyer beware!!!!

I've been a mobile DJ since 2012 when I got two of these, and the sound technician for a band since 2013. The sound is pretty great and when paired with an 18" sub, they can provide a full aural experience.However, after five years of relatively infrequent use (less than 100 events in that time), during soundcheck at a band gig, one of them began smoking. After tearing it apart on a later date and testing it, a friend tells me the relay switch was what went bad--we could both tell it was where a smoke smell was coming from, at the least.Additionally, while carefully unscrewing the back panel, many of the screws snapped in half--they are of a very thin, cheap metal.We haven't abused these--I've always carefully loaded them into my van and I've rarely had the clip indicator go off. They've never fallen from their stands or been knocked over.Still deciding whether to buy a TS215 to replace it or to look elsewhere....the other speaker is still working but I'm nervous about it now.UPDATE: InMusic tech support gave me a ~20% discount on a set of TS215s because of this experience. I can't wholeheartedly recommend this particular speaker but I suppose 5 years is still a good run considering what my band has put it through.

These are really good speakers. Upon receiving the item, everything worked as expected. They're extremely loud!! Plenty of power. The ONLY problem I had though were the other reviews bashing this product about the sub woofer blowing. You need to understand that the half way point on both inputs is 100% of the speakers available output volume and that anything past the 12 o'clock is going to add +50db (your upage for mic inputs). Though I understood this concept perfectly fine, I still wanted to return them even after just receiving them. My reason is simple. Reliability. I did some more research after purchasing these speakers and found out that the bass would give out even under normal use which really didn't make me feel comfortable enough.Another reason why I think people who've said the speakers woofers go under normal use would in essence be because of the cooling system. This was probably one of sketchiest things I've ever seen and let me tell you why. Are fan cooled powered amps just as good as passive cooling with heat sink fins? Yes, they're probably about the same. However on these speakers, once first setup for initial try and after reading that they are temperature activated, one speaker's fan zipped right on at full speed as if the amp was running hot and the other speaker's fan didn't do a thing; didn't turn on at all. So after having both speakers in the same room temperature and not in any sun for one day, I tried them again. Same thing. One turned on full speed, the other not full speed. So why are they reading completely different temperatures? How is it possible that one could be reading a temperature that is so much hotter than the other?? Though after using the speakers for a couple hours on low volume, the fan that didn't spin started to spin so I know the temperature readings were working, I just don't think Alto designed the temperature reading system correctly.So after my rant about these speakers, I would give it a 3 of 5 stars. I'm half on this. I just don't think people are using these speaker right and I also think Alto is mostly to blame for your bass woofer giving out, even under normal use. That is, their inability to create a cooling system that is consistent from product to product. So I returned them and got my money back. I have now bought the Mackie Thump 15's. Not one single bad review and they're suppose to be louder. They're coming today so I can't wait to see how they compare.www.djphilter.com
