Alto Professional TS315S Best Priced 15" Powered Subwoofer 2000 Watt Peak

[@gazzathebazza7967]

got two of these subs with the alto 15inch tops and more than enough power, been running them for two years now with no problem or complaints

I'm having a hard time finding the TS315S to buy locally. I could buy a TS318S tomorrow if I wanted. I'm wondering if there are any issues having a 2 different model subs? I play shows live with our own PA system. Any feedback on this? I was considering ordering another TS315S online, but maybe I should get the 18"

Ur the reason I just bought my full alto kit setup.. thanks so much 👏👏👏👏

[@PURESOUND4]

Just re-watched the video, and while I appreciate the effort that goes into making an in-depth review like this, I noticed something....your SPL meter is set to A-weighted, which rolls off the low end, and is primarily used to measure sound levels in factories and determine safe exposure levels. When used to evaluate speakers, the unweighted or C-weighted scale is more accurate, since it includes the lower frequencies when measuring.

[@expertisland]

Thank you for noticing that. I watched some videos about weighting and you are right. from now on I will test in C. FYI I got 10 extra dB out of the Speaker.

Hi, I'm about to replace the old passive subs i use. After watching your presentation i believe that these TS315s would be my best option to suit my TS315 top speakers. However in Australia they retail at around $850 each, whereas the Behringer B1500xp retails at around $689. $1378 vs $1700 (for a pair) is a fairly big jump in price. Do you think they are worth the extra? Thanks for your videos.

What if Im using TS410 what DSP output mode I will use? Is it 310?

[@pakitopang3147]

what if I crossover to TS415? what button do I use?

[@DSP1337]

I would certainly have considered to give the Alto subs a shot, but the TS3 subs are way too heavy in relation to their performance. Saved up a lot more and got myself 2x EV EKX-15SP which are the absolute limit of what I can carry around for

[@crispa1861]

How do you like the ev subs? Choosing between this and the passive version of the ekx-15sp. thx

[@DSP1337]

@@crispa1861 Due to Corona, I only got to use all my PA sound equipment only once (at all). But I can say with confidence that two of the EKX-15S subs were more than enough for a 200 people event (seated, indoors). If I remember correctly, I had them running at around -10/-12db and the were amazing! Deep enough for 95% of the mainstream music, easy to carry even up one flight of stairs and easy to set up (note, the lowpass does NOT affect the XLR outputs, only what the sub itself plays). I am not a pro sound guy, but I have great memories of what the EKX-15S were capable of. Together with the ELX-200 12p mains (which had to be cranked up higher to about -5db and sounded a slight bit overwhelmed), 2x Alto 308 as monitors and 2x Alto 308 as delay lines. Cant say anything about the passive versions though.

So my question is, if you have a different brand for your tops, how is it going to match or know what you have? Do you just say, choose the ts312 if you have a 12 inch top non alto brand? Any inputs is greatly appreciated.

Hi, im about to add another two TS315s is it possible to daisy chain four subs and how thanks

[@smoothsoundsstudioproduction]

Awesome reviews as always! I just have a question; I occasionally take my gear out to small- medium size events, as I am part of a small band. that is why I recently bought 2 ts315 tops, to start off with a good sounding system that gets loud enough for events that I do. By the way cudos to you, as your review of that speaker is what played into my decision to buy them. Anyway, would one of these subs paired with 2 ts315 tops provide adequate bass coverage for a small to medium size event? I just would like to have some opinions as to the amount of space this 15inch can fill up. thanks!

[@willknapplive]

I would love some advice - I’m a solo guitar play/singer that uses drum/bass backing tracks. (And I also host karaoke from time to time.). Generally small bars/pubs - 75-100 people max. I’ve tried some of the compact array systems but they seem to crap out. Do you think I could get away with 10s over 12 subs, or should I go 12s over 15 subs?

[@willknapplive]

Also, thank you so much for these videos!! They are incredibly helpful and always my go to when looking into new equipment.

I really want to buy one of these, but there is just one problem...Nobody has any in stock!

I watched the video and I have seen them before, Fun to watch but not a way to test an 18" pro audio sub-woofer any brand.

The Driver is matched to good with the amp plate, there is no damping inside the box so the bass can reverberate from the box not just the driver and ports. 18" subs are for clubs and halls.

You might be out of phase. Try toggling the phase button on the sub and see if it improves things. BTW, by being out of phase, you're actually noise canceling the lower frequencies. So it's important to toggle that phase button on the sub to what sounds right.
