After over 40 years of DJing I am too old and sickly to carry 100 pound subs and lift 50 pound tops. I wanted to do some occasional gigs but I had to face my physical limitations. I thought about purchasing the EV Evolve 50 but the price and SPL numbers seemed off. I opted for 2 EV ELX12sp subs from zZounds and was looking at 8 or 10 inch tops to complete my new lightweight , but loud system. Decided on the EV ELX 10s until I came across the Alto TS408. The price/SPL and weight was too good to be true, so I bought just 1 from zZounds to test out. Paired with the EV 12 inch sub this set-up kicked some serious butt. It was loud, clear and slamming. I soon ordered a second , and I now have a small quite loud system that can easily accommodate a 150 person wedding no problem. One thing I dislike about the Alto is how high you must turn the gain on the speaker in order to get decent volume. (Practically all the way). I use a mixer so it works out fine as far as headroom but I found this pretty weird at first. They also scratch easily, so a bag or cover is advised. The built in crossover for 12,15, or 18 inch subs is a Godsend. Top that off with Bluetooth and the Alto App and it adds up to a lot of value for $249.00 bucks. If you are an aspiring DJ the Alto TS 408 series 8, 10, 12, or 15. should be on your list of possible speakers. They lack a DSP screen but for the price what do you expect? They are not EV, QSC, or RCF quality, but there is a lot here to like.They are loud , light, clear, look sweet , and will definitely do the job for you.

Wanted to create a small but powerful system for small to medium size weddings. Bought 2 EV ELX200 12SPs from zZounds. For the tops I half way reluctantly chose the Alto TS408. They did not disappoint! The sound quality, and clear volume totally complimented the 12 inch subs. These small speakers are quite impressive considering how cheap they are in price. They are not QSC K8s but they are a solid choice for any DJ or band. Most will use them as monitors but they are working well for me as Top speakers on My compact setups. I would feel fine doing a 150 person wedding with this set-up.

I purchased a pair of the TS408's for both live performances and studio monitoring. I can honestly say they are ideal for both applications. Absolutely flat response and super clear. Fantastic build quality and features. These monitors are full of great functionality such as different sub options, Bluetooth connectivity, app support and USB connections. I was on the fence between these and the new Headrush offering. These offer more at a lower cost.
