Members madjack Posted December 18, 2012 Members Share Posted December 18, 2012 I bought a pair of GSR12s for my wife's karaoke system when they were on sale. Now the second one was sent in for warranty work, but Avid sold M-audio to inMusic, and they don't have parts for repairs. They are offering to replace either one, or both of the GSRs with the Altos. My question; how do the altos compare with the m-audios? Anyone have firsthand experience with both cabs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dookietwo Posted December 18, 2012 Members Share Posted December 18, 2012 Although I have not heard either speaker the reviews seem to be good for at least the TS115a Alto.http://forums.prosoundweb.com/index....,135512.0.html Its been awhile but I did seem to remember some woofer problems with the Alto series. Maybe a search on google will find it. Dookietwo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members dedmeet Posted December 18, 2012 Members Share Posted December 18, 2012 I have heard the Alto TS122A cabs and plan to buy a set in the near future. No, they are not as good as my EV and QSC powered tops, but they are light and loud. I plan to use the Altos as small gig FOH and monitors when needed, especially when weight or concern about environmental issues weigh on my mind.

Members madjack Posted December 21, 2012 Author Members Share Posted December 21, 2012 Received some more information and thought I should share. Apparently, the amp module is faulty in the gsr12, and inMusic doesn't have replacement parts for it. I suggested that the ts115a cab spec'ed closer to the gsr12, but inMusic would only offer the ts112a as replacement. They are, however, offering a full one year warranty on the alto, instead of my warranty expiring in March, so one alto is on its way and I have a rma to return the remaining gsr12 at inMusic's expense, and they will send a second ts112a.

Driver specs look about the same. Guessing you will be getting very similar speakers in return. You'll have to let us know what you think! At least they are doing something to help you out, although its pretty lame when a nearly new speaker already has no support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tlbonehead Posted January 20, 2013 Members Share Posted January 20, 2013 Bump Curious how this is turning out for you. Also, who did you contact about warranty repair? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members nousername Posted January 20, 2013 Members Share Posted January 20, 2013 Would you say the TS112A is loud enough as a vocal monitor next to an acoustic drum kit? Rock music, standard volumes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
