2.1. Product description
The 10S, 10A and 10AL and their "D versions" are a family of high

performance 2-way loudspeakers employing a single 10” driver in

a bass-reflex enclosure and different HF sections for a wide range

of installed sound applications. All models are lightweight passive

designs using neodymium drivers and large horns for accurate

pattern control.

The 10A and 10A-D are the array versions of this family providing

rotatable dispersion characteristics of 75° x 50° (10A) or 110° x

55° (10A-D). Both loudspeakers employ a 1.4” exit compression

driver. The cabinets are equipped with an integrated rigging

system for the design of vertical arrays providing application

specific dispersion characteristics.

With a frequency response extending from 60 Hz to 18 kHz, the

cabinets can be used as full range systems or supplemented by

different subwoofers of the xS- or xA-Series.
The enclosures are constructed from marine plywood with an

impact resistant black paint finish. The fronts of the cabinets are

protected by a rigid metal grill backed by an acoustically

transparent foam.

The cabinets are Ball Impact Resistant according to DIN 18032-3.

Rigging components
10A/10A-D cabinets are connected to form a vertical array each

using the Z5416 Connector plates 10A. Splay angles can be set

between 25° and 60° with 5° increments. A vertical array may

consist of up to three 10A cabinets. 18A or 27A subwoofers can

be integrated into the array.
Vertical arrays are supported using the Z5414 Flying bar xA and

a pair of Z5413 Flying bar connector plates xA.

Note: For approved configurations as well as safety and

mounting instructions, refer to the respective rigging manual.

Cabinet options
The weather resistant version (WR) is suitable for outdoor use

(IP34, vertical aiming up to +15°). The cabinets have an impact

and weather protected black PCP (Polyurea Cabinet Protection)

finish.
