A cool little monster
Anto- 18.12.2023
A very nice little amp ideal for small venues:
- 2 channels combined jack / canon (the first one with phantom power for condenser mics)
- 1 channel for Bluetooth / aux (to play along a backing track)
- outstanding battery life and built in charger (no external transformer... just connect the power supply and the alto busker will recharge)

Pro:
practicality, great build quality, reasonably easy to use
Cons:
- only channel 1 is suitable for voice... connecting a mic to channel 2 will provide very low output.
- connecting an acoustic guitar makes it sound ok, but an electric guitar sounds very bland. TIP: Connect an overdrive in front of it as a treble booster (a Soul Food or an Electro Harmonics Hot Wax) and even if the OD is not engaged the sound improved dramatically.
- connecting the app is a bit tricky... to do the initial pairing it rewquires you to enable the location services. If pairing is not successful, control to have the location enabled.

Very good sound, with a down side
Fede Satyam 18.10.2024
Super lightweight and compact.
The sound is good, detailed, punchy and loud!
The battery lasts for very long time.
The effects are useful, not the best but still good to have.

The cons:
Bluetooth! I returned one unit because it Bluetooth receiver was super weak. It was enough to hold the phone in my hand in order to lose the signal, even 3 meters away.
The second unit is better, but still loses signal once a while for no apparent reason.

Anyway I’ll keep the unit because of the sound quality and portability

Schade, eigentlich eine tolle Box...
Kim Dino 27.12.2023
Als Hobbymusiker habe ich eine kleine Aktivbox gesucht, die zu meinem hochtransportablen Piano passt (ein Roland go:piano 61 samt Ständer in Rucksacktasche). Es soll für kleine Auftritte taugen und mindestens 2 Eingänge haben (einer davon für Mikrofon).
Diese Box macht einen sehr soliden Eindruck, alle Regler, Schrauben, Kunstoffe und Spaltmaße wirken hochwertig, dabei ist sie leicht und kompakt. Im Vergleich mit der Bose S1 klingt sie für meine Ohren bei mittleren Pegeln an Piano oder "Konserve" sogar fast genauso gut.
Weniger gefällt mir der Betrieb am Mikrofon (SM58), denn hier ist bereits für mäßige Lautstärke eine deutliche Pegelanhebung am Kanal (-Gain) und Main-Volume nötig, was zu vermehrtem Rauschen führt. Selbst bei einigen Metern Abstand hört man in den Sprech- oder Gesangspausen deutlich das Rauschen. Und auch ganz ohne angeschlossene Instrumente und bei Null-Pegel rauscht diese Box (dann allerdings kein weißes Rauschen, sondern eher "flatternd"), wenn auch nicht besonders laut. Für mich kommt sie daher auch nicht so wirklich als Monitorbox infrage, da die Nähe dann das Rauschen deutlich hörbar macht.
Die Effekt-Sektion ist mir persönlich nicht so wichtig. Eigenartig fand ich allerdings, dass manche Effekte kaum wahrnehmbar sind, also zu gering wirken. Eine einfache Klangregelung wie bei der Bose S1 wäre nett gewesen, aber immerhin ist das per Bluetooth-App möglich. Und zwar zum einen für die Eingänge (high, mid, bass) und für das Master-Signal (per graphisch dargestellter Kurve im Frequenzverlauf, deren Breite und Höhe einstellbar ist).
Eine grobe Klanganpassung ist auch mit einem Taster möglich, der die Verwendungsarten Pole, Monitor, with Sub, via App berücksichtigt.
A propos grob: Da die Pegel-Regler wegen der Bluetooth-Nutzbarkeit Endlos-Regler sind, kann man nicht einfach den eingestellten Pegel überprüfen. Z.B. wenn man vor dem Gig oder am Vortag einen Soundcheck gemacht hat und zum Auftritt dann mal geschwind die gleiche Einstellung vornehmen will. Wer die Box also ohne App verwenden will, hat ein paar Nachteile inkauf zu nehmen.
Für mich wäre diese Box eigentlich genau richtig, aber die Kombination von zu großem Rauschen am Mikrofon und quasi Notwendigkeit der App veranlasst mich doch, diese zurückzusenden.
