Overall this speaker is pretty good... for the price you are not going to do better. However, it has a serious design flaw... come on Alto... don't you see it?When you lay it on its side to use as a wedge, the handle is on the wrong side and makes it a pain to pick up. If you roll it back to grab the handle then any cables that may be connected get smashed against the floor.Other than this one handle, there is really no other 'secure' way to pick it up. I thought Alto would have figured this out by version 4 of the speaker.If this doesn't bother you then go for it, it sounds good and is pretty loud (obviously not 2000 Watts, how do they come up with these ridiculous ratings)?

Bought this speaker as it stated used but when arrived and I powered it up. The limit light was on and if I try to input any signal it there is no sound.

I bought this speaker to replace a fried Mackie drum wedge at the venue I work for. I have QSC K.10.2’s for the rest of my wedges and of course they are spectacular. There just wasn’t money to purchase another QSC so I had to look for other less expensive options. We have another Alto speaker, a 400 watt 10” powered speaker we occasionally use as a personal monitor or an extra main source in a dead part of the room that always has sounded great. I decided to go with the 12” 2500 watt Alto instead of the 10”. It sounds really good as a drum wedge and has more than enough power and range to feed it both kick drum and bass without it clipping or distorting. The DSP is simple but useful. Not using it but the Bluetooth works great. The only thing that I noticed about the speaker is that the enclosure feels a bit thin in a couple places and really vibrates at high volume levels. It is not creating any audible vibrations however, no rattles or unwanted sounds.its been in the venue for 2 weeks now and performing wonderfully. I’ll be checking in again at 6 months and a year. Now with all of this said it feels really good, vocals are hot and clear with no exaggerated frequencies or feedback tendancies. It’s not a QSC k.12.2 but it was definitely engineered well and offers a great sounding alternative without breaking the bank. The controls feel very solid. The speaker also looks like it should have a higher price tag. Great job ALTO!So after a month of nightly use in the club as a drum wedge receiving the full band with high levels of vocals, rhythm guitars, keys, bass and kick drum the speaker has surpassed expectations. It handles bass and kick drum with no problem at all and it is more than loud enough to be considered an option if you don’t want to spend the extra on JBL EON’s, or QSC k.12.2’s. When set flat they are nice and balanced and music over BT couldn’t sound much better. There are also DJ, Wedge, and a programmable EQ that is accessible through ALTO’s iOS app.

Very sensitive, great power. This is very well-built speaker. Recently I purchased a number of different speakers (brands and models) for various projects, this is probably one that I will be ordering more in the future.

As an electronic drummer, I have been using the Alto TS410 speaker for a month now and I am extremely impressed with its performance. The sound quality is fantastic, with deep and punchy bass tones that really bring my drum samples to life. The highs and mids are also clear and detailed, making it easy to distinguish different elements of my drum kit.One of the things I love most about the TS410 is its portability. The compact design and lightweight construction make it easy to take the speaker with me to gigs or rehearsals. The rugged exterior is also a plus, as it helps protect the speaker from damage during transport.In terms of setup, the TS410 is very straightforward and easy to use. I appreciate the simple controls and the fact that I can connect it to my e-drum module with a single cable. The speaker delivers great sound quality at high volumes, making it ideal for live performances.Overall, I am very happy with my purchase of the Alto TS410 speaker (especially for the price it got it for).It has exceeded my expectations in terms of sound quality and versatility, and I would highly recommend it to any electronic drummer looking for a powerful and reliable speaker.
