ALTO Bluetooth Ultimate XLR Equipped Rechargeable Stereo Bluetooth Receiver for Mixing Desk/Audio Mixer Setups and Active PA Systems

Excellent Bluetooth

Intuitive to connect and produces good clean sound and good stereo separation once your gain levels are set up properly. TOP MARKS ALTO! Love this product. Watch out for Bluetooth disconnects which will cause an alarm beeping through via its outputs. {Hence WATCH LEVELS WHEN PAIRING, UNPAIRING AND DISCONNECTING} I tested this with a pair of cables directly into my FOH speakers and through a Behringer X1204 mini mixer. WATCH YOUR LEVELS WHEN PAIRING. Whilst you can plug this directly into any active speaker, the pairing chime is likely to cause your eardrums to split if it decides to disconnect and then re-pair and your levels are high! On the whole I prefer to push this into a mixer with channel mute buttons so I can contain the noise from the pairing feedback process. Also a mixer allows you to moderate what I think can be a really hot output level on both left and right channels if you happen to turn up the volume on the Bluetooth source device which will cause some clipping and/or distortion. This product sounds and behaves a lot like the onboard Bluetooth in my Alto TS415 speakers. Plugging in directly to actives is handy for setup and break down but be careful with levels and avoid pairing and unpairing when connected WATCH LEVELS WHEN PAIRING, UNPAIRING AND DISCONNECTING.

Superb bit of kit ,works perfectly

The sound is good quality and has good connectivity....I'm a singer and it allows me to connect to my analogue mixer.

Using on my mixer and turntable in the house to Bluetooth music from my phone whilst chilling on the sofa 😜

Works really well through my mixing desk sound is clean very good buy..

So easy to use worked straight away no wires so good

First, I would like to address buying a used product from Amazon. I purchased the Alto Ultimate with the condition described as: "Used - Very Good. Item will come in original packaging. Packaging will be damaged." I received a large cardboard box with a small clear plastic baggie containing the Alto. Nothing else except for paper padding. No charging cord, no instructions. By the time I purchased a charge cord I saved a whopping $4 USD. Whoopie! Now on to the product review.... I am an audio professional, with over 40 years of TV broadcast and sound reinforcement experience. I will not bore you with response and distortion specs. This is not a straight wire. It does color the audio. If the intended use involves an area with 500 people, each with a cell phone, then you had better have a backup plan. So what can it do? Well if a performer wants to play tracks from a laptop controlled by the drummer, then that can be set up wirelessly in about a minute. How about a church "Kid-Fest" with a bouncy castle and other activities? You want sound from speakers that cover the area but don't want a bunch of XLR cables that have to be taped down. Specifically, a non-critical activity where you can use very good audio with a bit of latency. I really like having a couple of these in my tool box for a quicker setup and strike. My wish list: Wish there was a clipping LED to make setup even easier. And a way to turn off that ridiculous signal loss beep. In summary, the sound is very good and works great in many situations. Just have an XLR cable ready just in case.

Fonctionne très bien.

Studio-level quality. It adds a slight lift and sounds excellent, without the need for high volume. Very comfortable to use. It connects to a dedicated channel, with independent control over all effects, completely separate from the other channels. I’m really enjoying this product.

Prodotto TOP. Lo utilizzo ormai da anni ed è super affidabile e performante. Costicchia è vero, ma stiamo parlando di un prodotto professionale.

Der Alto Bluetooth Stick ist sehr empfehlenswert. Ich habe ihn sehr oft bei Live Veranstaltungen im Einsatz und er hat mich nicht ein einziges mal in Stich gelassen. Schnell und unkompliziert verbindet er sich mit dem iPad und auch die übertragene Tonqualität der Halbplaybacks ist ausgezeichnet.
