Alto Professional offers sound reinforcement with the new subwoofer of the TS3 series

TS312S subwoofer enclosures, TS315S and TS318S provide extend the bass response of their well-known professional systems in this range.

The manufacturer of sound systems Alto Professional has presented the new subwoofer enclosures TS312S, TS315S and TS318S for the TS3 family of self-powered enclosures, that allow you to configure systems with a surprisingly wide range, with shocking bass and undistorted treble and mids.

On many occasions, even the best sound systems require additional bass that provide greater 'hitting'. In these cases, Alto Professional's TS312/315/318S self-powered subwoofer are presented as the most suitable option, relieving that speaker of the difficult task of playing the bass, to create a system capable of delivering a surprising wide-gamut response.

The result is that the audience will be able to enjoy the full sound spectrum clearly, from the most severe synthesized basses, to the highest pitched percussion bells, and everything in between.

All three subwoofer incorporate robust high-excursion bass speakers, mounted in a solidly reinforced enclosure, created with computer-aided design for maximum bass performance. The enclosures have been built with a dense wood compound, devoid of resonances, offering virtually perfect acoustic features, ensuring that the subwoofer's output is always clear and impactful.

Conventional enclosures that have thin metal or plastic walls, with a tendency to bend, deprive the speaker of the acoustic impact by dissipating the energy of the transducer as vibration of the enclosure. One composed of reinforced wood does not waste the movement of the transducer as resonance of the enclosure.

For a subwoofer to be part of a loudspeaker system it must be able to combine properly with the complementary speaker, and this is one of the points in which the subwoofer of the TS3 series stand out, which offer the ability to select from six DSP output modes, so that the frequency response of the subwoofer and the frequency of the crossover are perfectly suited to the speaker with which they are being used.

Four of these six output options make it easy for the subwoofer to match perfectly with Alto Professional's TS2 and TS3 series full-range speakers, while the other two (Hi-Pass or Bypass modes) ensure perfect compatibility with any third-party full-range speaker.

Computer-aided design techniques developed by this manufacturer, such as Finite Element Analysis (Finite Element Analysis, ugly), improve the magnetic structure of the speaker, in addition to maintaining a small separation in the coil to achieve maximum sensitivity.

The coils feature extremely tight windings that ensure maximum output signal performance, while the adhesives used have a high consistency and durability under high temperature conditions providing great reliability.

The three models of Alto Professional, brand that markets Audio-Technica Iberia, incorporate an internal amplifier of 2000 W (1000 Continuous W), equipped with exclusive limiting circuitry that provides clipping protection, thermal overload and transducer overload, ensuring that the system always delivers clean sound, regardless of the power requirement to which it is subjected.

Pyotr Belov, Alto Professional product manager, notes that "the new TS3 self-powered subwoofer sets a new standard within its category, as for a powerful reproduction of bass, combined with surprising versatility of use and installation possibilities. These subwoofer are exactly what people were expecting.".
