Mackie Thump Go vs Alto Busker, Battle of the Budget Battery PA World $350! Sound Demo Comparison

[WWeiss-nvvz]

Alto has a number of important features I didn't mention that the Mackie doesn't have:
From the App besides treble and bass there is also a mid control for the Bluetooth channel.
On the back of the Alto there is a physical switch for line/mic, there is a USB charge port, FX volume control, 48 volt mic switch, and numerous reverb choices. Features Alto wins Hands Down!

Thanks for all the reviews. Purchased the Alto for my daughter to sing thru. She has yet to use it but Im confident thanks to your demos

Viewer comment: I agree Thump Go are great I own 4 and have used them almost every weekend they are really built like a tank and the battery life is amazing!

[WWeiss-nvvz]

Positive viewer comment: I bought 4 of the s1 pro speakers and sent them all back the battery was a big fail for music playback and voice I only got 3 hrs max and when I bu a product I expect it to work as stated, I waited to see if something else would come out and the Buskers I bought 2 and the battery life is amazing, the sound is loud and clear and the mixer is far superior as far as features, I am buying 4 more my experience, I am 15 gigs in with these, they are loud and portable 4 hrs and the battery doesn't come off the green

Thanks for the review. I'm looking for the smallest budget speaker to use at work in a factory. Leaning towards the alto because of size and price. At max volume on Bluetooth is there much clipping or distorted audio.?

Thank you so much for the great video! Please keep these coming because they are very helpful!

Which one would you use for an outdoor ceremony. One microphone and one input for music.

Next video: Budget $350 Alto Busker paired with $900 Bose Sub1, a Real subwoofer!
Spoiler Alert: Huge difference! True full range sound 🙂

I'm considering the Thump. I need it for an outdoor wedding. I think I may need two. I want to keep it simple. Other use may be for an outside 4th of July church event. I want to keep it wireless. How do I include a microphone - wirelessly? I will just use a laptop for the music source.

While I was watching the comparison, I was thinking that the Mackie just had a bigger sound. But then I questioned myself and wondered if I was kind of suffering from a visual placebo effect. Then my wireless headphones died. I continued to watch and I think you verified that the Mackie kind of sounded either bigger or more full. But I definitely agree it was close!

The Thump Go’s tweeter is on the bottom. Might need to raise the Thump Go more than normal to get the horn to the intended audience

Hi, Weiss, Ev everse 12 is out today. Though similar to ev8

[Mr.Brolic]

Does the pink flamingo 🦩 add more bass 😅

[MyDJcontrol]

I am waiting for your review about the new Mackie ShowBox vs Everse8. 😊

[AleSuggests]

Did you take a look at the new Mackie ShowBox presented at NAMM '24? It'd be interesting if you'd review it. Thanks for the nice vids!

[chumbels]

Thanks. Really leaning towards Alto. Battery life???? Maybe you mentioned it.

[WWeiss-nvvz]

I don't think I mentioned, the Alto Busker has a USB charge port to charge your devices, original Bose S1Pro doesn't have this!

I purchased one for use at wedding ceremonies. After hearing the strong performance of one, I ordered another one and coupled it with my 18" RCF sub and will use these as my main system going forward. So, I went from using EVOX 12 speakers with an RCF 18" sub to using two Alto Busker speakers with the RCF 18" sub directly from the controller with no Driverack PA2. I may decide to use my portable rack to house the Shure wireless, furman power conditioner and Driverack PA2. I'm so impressed with the Alto. If i need more sound, I'll get two more Altos and call it a day!

Hello! Thank you for your video.
What would you recommend for a clean sounding classical guitar and a singer?
I don't want to add any subwoofer. Just carry a portable PA, to play on the street and small wedding occasions.
Your comparison videos are really good, thank you 🙏
