ALTO Stealth 1 - Mono UHF XLR Wireless Audio System, Transmitter and Receiver for Powered Speakers, Mixers and Dynamic Microphones

I have a Shure wireless microphone system that feeds into a Yamaha audio mixer and from there it goes into a laptop computer for broadcast on the web. The mic receiver, audio mixer and laptop are in the back of the conference room and I am unable to run a long audio cable from the mixer to the speakers located in the front of the room, as the cable would need to pass through a high foot traffic area. The Alto MKII-UHF wireless audio system solved my problem by allowing me to wirelessly transmit the audio signal from the mixer in the back to the powered speakers in the front of the room. The audio is crisp and clear and I have not observed any audio delay. No batteries are required as the Alto receiver and the two transmitters all come with power supplies. Highly recommended.

I needed this for two specific applications: wedding ceremonies and satellite speaker situations. In both settings, I don't use extension cords and either can't or don't want to run XLR cable. The Stealth 1 Mono system is ideal for this:It sets up fastIt's easy to useIt works.I've spent a lot of time with the Stealth 1 Mono wireless system. I've tried it in many situations. When you follow the instructions EXACTLY, it works perfectly: Set the speakers where you want them. Turn the transmitter on first and THEN the receiver. IF you turn the receiver on first, the whole thing becomes intermittent.I've tested the battery life twice with rechargeable batteries. They lasted 4.5 and 5 hours before the wireless turned off. That's more than enough time for wedding ceremonies, cocktail hours and short gigs. I've also ran it 80' apart without any issues. I haven't needed it to go further than that, but Alto says it will go 100'. I've also used it with the output on a mixer to the speaker and it worked flawlessly.UPDATE: I had the same static issue as HGDJ below. But it only happened when I was using this with a Bluetooth input on the speaker to send music to it on a test. As soon as I plugged the music directly into the speaker input via a cable and sent the signal out to the other speaker via the Stealth 1, the static went away and it worked perfectly. Maybe you can't use Bluetooth AND the Alto Stealth 1 at the same time?The Alto Stealth 1 Mono solves my problem perfectly. Would I use this with the band in a critical "this can NOT fail" kind of situation? I don't think so. If I wanted a wireless speaker system for the bands FOH system, I'd go with the Alto Stealth Wireless Pro.

I was very excited about receiving this wireless system. As soon as it arrived, I unpacked it, read the instruction manual and set everything up.I let the receivers scan for available channels and synced the transmitter up accordingly. Then I powered up my speakers and to my unpleasant surprise immediately I heard a very noticable mix of hiss and rumble.Tried the different squelch settings to no effect. Unplugged the receivers and instead hooked up my xlr cables, to make sure nothing was wrong with my speakers, unlikely for QSC speakers, but wanted to make sure it's not a defect from my side. Connected to the xlr cables the hiss/rumble disappeared. So I reconnected the stealth mkII receivers again to try searching for another channel. Now it took them over a minute to search and when they found and set themselves to supposedly free channels my speakers almost blew out my eardrums because all that came through was an extremely loud interference noise.Luckily I turned the speakers off before they could be damaged.Syncing up the transmitter to the channels didn't help. Now it just added the occasional burst of interference noise.I also tried to only use one receiver to make sure they were not interfering with each other, even though they both ran on different channels and properly set to left and right.The transmitter was also a mere 6 feet away with direct line of sight, so no obstruction nor too far of a distance of any kind.Knowing how frequencies can interfere with each other on live events, especially when other DJs or musicians set up their wireless equipment in neighboring rooms, I can absolutely not rely on these. Imagining a bride, a celebrant or just anyone standing next to a speaker when it's silent or playing background music, then interference happens and shoots out this ear piercing interference pattern into a person's ears, I'd lose credibility, potentially damage my speakers, because I won't be standing right next to them, to turn them off right away, potentially a lawsuit for bodily injury in form of hearing damage(mine are still ringing as I write this review) and definitely lose recommendations for potential new clients.I so wish the stealth system had worked but if it already gives me these problems at home, in a semi rural area, it'll definitely give me more problems in crowded places. I cannot take that risk and sadly will have to return them back to Amazon.

The media could not be loaded. This was a product I could not wait to receive. Alto is an awesome company. This was a product I could not wait to receive. This has great potential. It's UHF. It's battery powered. It's got a small form factor. The distance seemed pretty decent.The only issue was my unit had a lot of static or hiss. I'm not sure if it's defective since I've seen other reviews where it works great.I'm so sad I had to return it because I really wanted this to work.UPDATE: I purchased this a 2nd time. I hooked the transmitter into a mixer. It's drastically better. No buzz. No hum. Maybe a slight hiss. But, almost unnoticeable. Very pleased with the volume. Seems to produce plenty of output. Hooking it the way I have now, made a world of difference.

This product is great, they are very easy to set and use. The sound quality is great, the receivers are compact. The only downside is they are not rechargeable they need to be plugged in. They are worth the money.
