Alto TX408 350W 8-inch Active PA Speaker with Bluetooth
Looking for a compact speaker for announcements, playlists or on-stage monitoring? The Alto TX408 brings straightforward controls to a portable PA setup, helping you get sound running without a complicated equipment list.
Choose Your Setup Around the Event
For a presentation, start with a microphone. For background music, stream a playlist from your phone. For a DJ setup, connect your controller or mixer and plan your speaker placement around the room.
A Practical Starting Point for Smaller Setups
Consider the TX408 when transport space and simple operation are priorities. For louder events or music that needs substantial bass, discuss your room size and listening requirements with us before choosing your complete PA system.
Build a Setup That Suits Your Sources
Think about how many microphones and instruments you need before buying. An external mixer gives you room to manage additional sources and makes it easier to adjust your sound during a performance.
Who Is the Alto TX408 For?
- Presenters and event hosts: consider it for announcements and spoken-word sessions.
- Fitness instructors: plan a setup around voice and music playback.
- DJs: consider a compact speaker for monitoring or smaller music setups.
- Performers: build a monitoring setup around your stage layout.
- Community venues: choose equipment around the room, audience and programme.
Tell us your room size, audio sources and preferred listening level so we can help you choose suitable speakers and accessories.
