Key Features of Alto Trouper

Great design and shape

The trapezoidal shape is unique and striking. But this shape helps reduce internal resonance which results in clearer, better, and cleaner outputs. The upper bass ranges and vocals are easily captured, but some say that the lower bass end may not be as good. This is why many use the Alto with other loudspeakers like a subwoofer for better bass reproduction.

With a built-in mixer

No need to connect to a mixer as you got one built-in inside an Alto. This PA system comes with a 3-channel mixer with a 2-band EQ for every channel. The built-in mixer also comes with an RCA and XLR plus ¼ and 1/8 – inch connectors that will let you connect any kind of audio input source. Connect your TV, Blu-Ray, DVD, home theater system receiver, or your PC to this loudspeaker and capture everybody's attention.

Compact, easy to take anywhere

Turn this speaker backward and you'll find a convenient handle. This rear handle helps you hold this almost 25 pounds speaker and transport it anywhere. You can also mount it permanently in an indoor or outdoor venue as it comes with a mounting socket and a pole socket.

Connect wirelessly using Bluetooth

This loudspeaker comes with convenient Bluetooth and thus, any Bluetooth-compatible device can connect to the Alto. You can easily pair up to two linked units to this loudspeaker and still enjoy clear, clean audio.

There are some complaints about how Bluetooth keeps on cutting in and out for this device. Some also found it hard to pair with this Bluetooth speaker and are not so happy about wireless connectivity despite being impressed with the speaker's other features.

Will connect with other speakers

Although this loudspeaker comes with a two-way 200-watt bi-amp system, large woofers, and driver, you can enhance this speaker's performance by connecting it to any loudspeaker or subwoofer. Enjoy clear and reverberating bass when you connect this to a powerful subwoofer. Of course, proper speaker room placement is also very important.

Easy to mount and dismount

This loudspeaker may be mounted from its stand mounting socket permanently or temporarily for an event or venue. You can also use its pole socket to attach it to a ¼-inch pole so it can stand on the floor or mounted on a wall. Dismount is also easy as you simply detach it from the wall or a floor mount and keep it when not in use.

Good sound quality

Sound quality varies depending on different factors. The Alto produces loud and clear results. The frequency ranges from 65 to 20,000 Hz, with a maximum peak performance of 120 dB-SPL @ 1M. Because of these, we recommend this speaker to small venue users, home theater users, and so on.

Verdict

The Alto Trouper has a lot of great features and has an impressive design. It may have some flaws, especially regarding its Bluetooth connectivity issues, but overall, it is a good PA system to check out especially for small indoor or outdoor venues. We recommend the Alto Trouper for professional use as well.
