Could please advice me which one to go for between JBL Encore (100w RMS) and this TS408. I want to play it mostly on my room. both got similar price with some Christmas offers. TS is 30 pounds more costly. Mu second question is do you have any idea beside these two models? I love the sound of Klipsh SLP 100, to me is the best, but that is only a subwoofer and I do not know what I should buy to pair with it for highs, any advise on that would be really appreciated.

@FrancescoNasone Жыл бұрын

Very difficult to answer it. I would say both are ok, just have in mind that alto is louder. Both can be suitable but probably you need to test them and see which one you prefer.

@johnd7715 Жыл бұрын

That was a useful comparison. To my ears the Alto is much more open in the mids and therefore more natural sounding. The Bose, like everything they make has a lot of low mids, which sound good initially, but get very annoying in certain situations. It’s quite easy to recreate the “Bose sound” with EQ, but considerably more difficult to “un-Bose” a Bose.

@FrancescoNasone Жыл бұрын

Agree, the Bose’s eq is quite strong and makes it more ready to go but less a white canvas to work on.

I have both I like the Bose for outdoor show due to the way the speakers project the sound in a wide way that attracts more people to your performance I use 2 Bose powered PA speakers I like the fact I don't need to eq the Bose a lot but I do i hate the knobs angles hard to see when adjust from an angle. Altos I use playing in hall spaces that are big and with a band setting I find is great, like every other PA like EV has great sound just bring mid eq down a bit treble slightly higher and your ready to go But as solo artist nothing beats the Bose you Got to have that warm sound easy set up and wide sound projection also Bose sounds great in halls bars and outside performances. You can even drive the speakers with tube amp pedal with eclectic guitar sound awesome warm punchy and loud without the harsh tones Iv been useing 6 years same batteries no issue with them they perform perfect. Alto I had 8 months still awesome powerful sound.

Very good comparison. 👍 Thanks! I would be interested in Alto TS-408. Do you think it would be suitable for a duo of 2 guitars and 2 voices? We would connect the mics and guitars to a mixer, and from the mixer to the speakers (2). I have seen on the net that Alto TS-408 has 1.000 WAT RMS. Do you think would be enough for audiences of 200 people or more?

@FrancescoNasone Жыл бұрын

If you use a couple of speakers lifted on stands and your aim is to have a background/med level music it can works. 200 people are quite a lot but It changes a lot if you're gonna play in a theatre or a quiet good sounding space or in a loud one. You can play a proper concert in good spaces and struggle in loud venues.

@Marthins1 Жыл бұрын

The idea is to play voices (2) and guitars (2) in closed spaces (theatres, etc.) I hope it's enough. Thanks for the reply!

Secondo me non ha senso compare due prodotti destinati ad usi diversi. Il bose è un partatile ricaricabile mente Alto ha bisogno di alimentazione ed è proprio per questo che la potenza è nettamente superiore! Semmai potresti fare un raffronto tra il Bose e Alto professional Busker che è un prodotto portatile e ricaricabile
