#44917 - 11/19/15 06:17 AM New PA speaker
MountainKing advanced member Registered: 01/04/13 Posts: 69	Hey guys, I am going to buy an AltoTS112A for connecting my 11R direct during gigs and rehersals. From what I can tell, 12" is enough but the store has a 15" bstock with the same price. Is it worth taking the 15" or is it not worth the hassle (weight and maybe eq'ing if there is too much bass)? _________________________ Live and Let Play http://www.youtube.com/user/Cyberowen?feature=mhee

I haven't felt like I am missing any bass, though most of the shows I play I use it as a monitor and not as a PA speaker.. I do like that it is smaller and lighter!

I dont know if this may sound mad but since i read that the altos are pretty accurate, would it make sense to also use them as studio monitors? ( i dont do mixing for a living, only for fun) _________________________ Live and Let Play http://www.youtube.com/user/Cyberowen?feature=mhee

mojah member Registered: 07/09/14 Posts: 41 Loc: Massachsetts	When I was buying FRFR's at GC the rental guy told me his Alto 15's broke down a lot but the 12's where rock solid. I have an Alto 10 for duo I'm in and it's flat like my Jbl prx12's but the Jbl's are more articulate. I also have EV ZLX 12's too. Good for program material but I hate them for guitar monitoring. They are very scooped sounding and the dsp isn't much help..

Marc C. advanced member Registered: 07/03/13 Posts: 297 Loc: Montreal, Quebec, Canada	One of the members of my tribute band is likely getting a couple of the TS 210A for some little acoustic solo gigs he does on occasion. He has borrowed my pair of 110A a couple of times and really liked them. Re the 210A, I'll tell you what I told him - try them first. Compare them to the 110A, if you can. Based on very early comparisons it MIGHT be that the 210A sounds brighter and more harsh.

MountainKing advanced member Registered: 01/04/13 Posts: 69	Hey there. I ended up buying the old one cause I had a gig coming up so I could not wait. So far I am not disappointed the sound does not translate 100% into recording so I ended up tweaking my recorded sound a little but other than that i am happy _________________________ Live and Let Play http://www.youtube.com/user/Cyberowen?feature=mhee
