Banish cables with BAT
Published: PRODUCTS
Alto Professional’s BAT receiver is designed to enable any XLR-equipped hard-wired mixers and active loudspeakers to enter the wireless world. The simple battery-powered Bluetooth receiver plugs directly into the XLR port on professional equipment allowing users to stream audio directly to the equipment. It features an internal rechargeable Lithium Ion battery (including an external USB battery charger adapter), as well as an integrated USB port for on-the-spot charging or continuous AC power in fixed installations.
The manufacturer has also recently introduced the TSL215 and TSL118S powered loudspeakers. Uniquely, the full-range cabinet and companion subwoofer integrate a dual LED lighting array, potentially allowing small bands and DJs to do without a dedicated lighting setup.
Powered by a 1,110W Class-D amplifier, the TSL215 is a two-way speaker housing a 15-inch woofer and 1-inch neodymium HF transducer. Two mic/line combo inputs accept sources into the system, which can be controlled using the integrated two-channel mixer. The enclosure has an angled rear panel enabling deployment as a stage monitor.
The companion TSL118S subwoofer features an 18-inch woofer mounted to a braced and ported enclosure. Onboard protection includes electronic clip, thermal and transducer overload. Connections are dual-XLR/¼-inch combo balanced inputs and dual balanced XLR line outputs.
