Experts and consumers alike consider the TS310 by Alto Professional as a small but terrible speaker. That’s because it is compact in size but big in performance, surpassing the capabilities of some larger speakers in the market. Let’s take a look at some of the key features of the product:Custom engineered high-efficiency class D amplifiers with passive cooling design (no fan means the speaker runs cleaner, quieter and has greater long-term reliability)

Small and lightweight. Other than impressing with its performance, the Alto TS310 is also designed to amaze with its compact body. The product’s casing measures 20.6 x 11.8 x 12.6 inches only, and it tips the scale at just a little over 30 pounds. Yes, it may not be the smallest and most lightweight option, but it is certainly easier to carry and transport than most other professional speakers. The rear of the speaker features an integrated 2-channel mixer with two combo XLR/¼-inch inputs; each input comes with a volume control so you can go directly from your audio source into the system with no hassle. There is also an XLR link output for linking multiple units together and an IEC power input alongside a ground-lift switch and a contour switch that allows you to apply a small amount of equalisation if needs be. To prevent the speaker from overloading this speaker is equipped with a transducer overdrive protector that stops you from overloading the system when your signal is too loud, it also works to eliminate distortion at high volumes, and you can see when the speaker has overloaded thanks to a clip limiter LED.

Alto TS310 2000 Watt Active Speaker Overview

Power comes from Class‑D amplifiers rated at 350 Watts peak or 175 Watts continuous, and the overall system has a specified frequency response of 75Hz to 20kHz at the ‑3dB points. Protection is provided by a built‑in analogue limiter and additional thermal overload protection circuitry. Two LEDs indicate power and the presence of signal/clipping, while a rotary control adjusts the input gain, which offers enough range to cater to both line‑level and mic‑level sources. There’s also a power LED on the front panel. The maximum SPL for a single speaker is specified as 117dB at a distance of one metre, which although not massive, should be adequate for many types of small venue applications including solo artists, duos and bands without loud drum kits. The speakers are suitable for both vocals and instruments such as guitar, though you’d need the larger models and/or an additional subwoofer if planning to put bass or drums through the PA. With a little mixer EQ you can get a very workable vocal sound out of these speakers, and a pair will provide adequate volume for smaller venues... The all-new Alto Professional TS3 Series of professional loudspeakers deliver solutions for every performance and installation challenge. With 2000 watts of explosive bi-amplified power and newly-designed transducers, these speaker systems deliver truly high-performance audio, without compromise or restriction. Their elegant industrial design, lightweight but rugged construction, versatile mounting/placement application and intuitive user interface achieves a level of excellence and refinement that exceeds expectations. On the rear panel is the usual IEC power inlet and power switch, XLR audio input, and an XLR link output for feeding the input signal to another active speaker. There are no EQ settings or mixing facilities, but you can plug a dynamic microphone directly into the speaker’s input. Using newly-designed transducers along with custom engineered, highly efficient class D amplifiers, the Alto TS310 delivers a hefty peak 2000 watts with a solid 1000 watts continuous RMS.

A host of useful features maximise the efficiency and audio performance of the TS310, taking it above and beyond expectations. Using the contour EQ switch you can get the perfect sound to suit your tastes while the ground-lift switch allows you to remove the buzz and hum interference from other devices and the venue’s electronics. Easily Portable with Versatile Setup Options Connectors: (2) XLR/TRS 1⁄4” (6.35 mm) combo inputs, (1) XLR link output, (1) IEC power cable input Controls: (2) Volume, Power on/off switch, Contour switch, Ground-Lift switch Combining powerful, fantastic audio quality with an elegant and lightweight yet rugged and versatile cabinet along with a useful, intuitive user interface - designed and tuned in the USA; the Alto TS310 active speaker impresses on all fronts.Despite the popularity of mini line‑array systems for small venues, there’s still a healthy market for the more conventional box‑style speaker. That’s an area Alto have much experience in, having produced a number of affordable point‑source speakers over the years that perform surprisingly well for their price. Their new TX range is designed in the US but manufactured ‘offshore’, and we’re informed that it is underpinned by some of the technology used in the company’s more costly TS3 series. The TX range goes from an 8‑inch model, via 10‑ and 12‑inch designs, up to a 15‑inch version. I chose the 10‑inch TX310 for this review, as it is well‑suited to smaller venues, is adequately loud with a reasonably wide frequency response, and is easily portable. Output Power: 2000 W peak (1300 LF + 700 HF) 1000 W continuous RMS (650 LF + 350 HF) LF Driver: 10-inch (254 mm) LF driver, 2.5-inch (65 mm) high-temperature voice coil The TS310 is equipped with a 10-inch woofer alongside a 1.4-inch tweeter that both work in perfect synch to deliver a smooth sound with a frequency response that ranges from 54 Hz all the way to 20 kHz and can reach a maximum sound pressure level of 129dB. This speaker is driven by a 2000w Class D amplifier while brand new transducers provide you with the cleanest possible sound. Thanks to the intelligent, super-robust design this speaker can be used as either a main front of house speaker or as an on-stage monitor.
