ALTO TX408 350W 8" Powered PA Speaker with Bluetooth, 2-Channel Mixer, Line Level for Mobile DJs and Musicians, for Small Venues, Rehearsals and Events

Not bad. Sounds incredibly clear. Bass response is ok. Bass response is better indoors. Outdoors its non existent- to be expected. Indoors, overall sound is pretty good. Clear distinctions in frequencies. This unit does get loud. Sound travels well, especially the upper mids and highs. I have not noticed any cracking or clipping in the sound. I have not pushed this past half volume because its decently loud at half volume. Any more past half volume i think i would get noise complaints. Bluetooth works great. No issues with pairing bluetooth. This is a good speaker. Build quality is decent. Doesn’t feel industrial but decent for hauling in the trunk of a car. The size is nice. The look is nice. Not bad for this price and functionality and sound quality you get. This can definitely blast sound clearly at high volume, albeit with a mid range bass reflex but not bad, especially indoors.

I’m surprised! For how small the speaker is it can fill a room indoors just fine. It is not something that I would use for a major event. But it’s not made for that. I initially was intending to use it for my personal monitor as I am a professional DJ, but I have used this in ceremonies and cocktail hours. I haven’t had a chance to use this for a karaoke event but vocals sound clean and undistorted. Two of them will handle a backyard dance party, just bring a small sub. No need to bring your big guns, the cops will be there at 10:00 pm, lol! It kicks in this regard. Clean sound. Indoors you will need to watch your levels because they’re louder than you think. Outdoors go full gate. Bluetooth works great. It does feel a little too light and the build quality seems flimsy...I wouldn’t feel like it would handle a drop, but that’s why you need a good case for traveling. Get one when you’re ordering it. It would be nice for an analog input to be included but you just get some adapters for that. It’s not everything for everyone, and the 8” speaker market is competitive right now. But for the price point, small form factor makes it cool with me. I have other Alto products and I am pleased with them. Good job guys!

There are only 2 minor negatives, otherwise I'd give it 5 stars. For the low price, the sound quality and volume is great. to my ears, the sound is a little dark and benefits from a treble boost. It does have a contour switch that increases the treble but it also increases the bass. An independent EQ for bass and treble would have been ideal. The other negative is that you can use it as a floor wedge only on one of its sides. A regular XLR or 1/4 cable connected to input 1 will not allow the speaker to lay on the floor as intended because the cable will be hitting the ground. I had to buy a separate right-angle cable adapter to allow the speaker to lay on the floor properly. But that was a fairly inexpensive fix. This speaker could easily fill a small yard for a party. But I am using it as a floor (stage) monitor for karaoke parties. A good purchase for sure.

I currently use several iterations of this speaker: 2 of the original TX-8, 2 of the TX-208, and now 2 of the TX-408. I have used them as both monitors and mains. I have used them in corporate-style settings, conferences, as mains in small to medium venues and outdoor events, etc. They are punchy and have great clarity- ESPECIALLY at this price point. I have used them as top boxes paired with a subwoofer to fill out the bottom end. Excellent! I haven’t heard any competitor to this - and I have heard a lot of them - that I would even consider replacing these with. Alto is the ONLY equipment at this price point that I would want to use. (I also like the higher spec’d TS series.) In a recent larger venue, (425 attendees) with a worship team and band, I used these as stage monitors for vocalists and they were very satisfied. More recently, I used the 408’s for vocals at a banquet with about 70 people in attendance. For ease of setup, I used a two-receiver wireless system on channel 1 and played accompaniment tracks via the Bluetooth channel of an iPad. Super simple and perfect for the room. I am not saying they are EVs, JBLs, or Yamahas (which I also use)! but I can buy 3 of them for one of the others in the same size. And unless you are in a room full of audiophiles, they won’t know that you didn’t spend a LOT more.

I love this thing! I use it for family gatherings when we need to make announcements or play music outdoors. Good bass, great volume without distortion, it's pretty small, so is easy to carry around. Overall a good speaker. I haven't had any problems with bluetooth, and it works GREAT for karaoke. I want to get another to have a stereo setup, but can't justify the need for the extra equipment :(

Easily pairs with Samsung TV. Quick set up with mixer. Great sound. Somewhat light weight. Easily connects with other speakers that aren't bluetooth.

Using this as an inexpensive monitor in a home music room. Going from a line 6 express pedal (amp modler/effects) via ts cable to this powered speaker and then out via the speaker's xlr to a mixer. Guitar sounds good. As expected a little thin for bass. A good value.

I've tried it twice, excellent for small to medium-sized spaces, clear sound, lightweight, reasonable price. I'm happy with it.

Lo tengo para sacar la señal de la pedalera en casa al ensayar como si fuera un FRFR y va bien. Tambié lo he llevado para usarlo como monitor de escenario, aunque son solo 350w tiene potencia para escuchar la mezcla o la señal que quieras. Además es ligero por lo que el transporte es bastante fácil. Satisfecho.

¨🔝

Ausgepackt, angeschlossen, BT Verbindung hergestellt..... und ich bin begeistert :-) Was dieser kleine Lautsprecher an Lautstärke und Klang hergibt ist für den Preis unschlagbar! Absolut zu empfehlen wenn man in seiner kleinen Kellerbar ein bisschen Party machen möchte :-) Würde ihn mir jederzeit wiederkaufen!

Voglio fare questa recensione per chi come me ad un certo punto si è trovato ad una scelta e in particolare alla scelta di seguire la via del digitale e del modeler. Mi sono preso qualche tempo prima di fare questa recensione e perché ho voluto anche confrontarmi con il mio maestro che ha strumenti ben più costosi e in particolare il confronto è stato con un yamaha dxr15 strumento decisamente di fascia superiore e che ovviamente ha vinto il confronto ma..... Ma anticipo che questa Alto tx410 si comporta veramente alla grande e non ha sfigurato minimamente. Il mio maestro è propenso a comprarne una perché gli è piaciuto in particolare la leggerezza e per lui sarebbe comodo nei live al chiuso. Premetto che non ho idea di come possa comportarsi su un palco e a volumi alti ma usandola in casa la si una max ad un 20%, oltre i vicini chiamano i carabinieri 😅. Assicuro che è potente! Detto questo ciò che conta è la qualità audio e come si comporta con pedaliere multi effetti. Ebbene il mio Boss Katana 50 watt è stato abbandonato. Qui non ci sono fruscio ne nulla e finalmente sento a pieno la mia pedaliera! La qualità è veramente al top e per chi come me era scettico prima di acquistare ti dico "vai tranquillo perché la qualità c'è tutta ed è tutta un'altra storia sulla risposta che da (la famosa botta ai piedi)". Vorrei approfittare per ringraziare gli altri 2 chitarristi che hanno recensito perché mi hanno risposto a domande che ho fatto qui e sono contento di essermi fidato. A te che leggi ti auguro buona musica 🤟🏻

Sonido de gran calidad, potencia y claridad que sorprende. Es una bocina de dimensiones pequeñas, pero engañosa por su poder, ideal para fiestas y reuniones pequeñas y medianas. Los materiales son muy buenos y es fácil de llevar.
