BASSO Series models allow users to choose the most adequate subwoofer setup for any given situation from within a family of products with common finish, design solutions and performance philosophy, as well as shared rigging and transport accessories.
BASSO10 is a very compact 10" subwoofer that delivers serious SPL levels for installations that require professional sound reinforcement in spaces where integration and size are key requirements.
The 10" low-frequency transducer allows this compact, powerful box to deliver high-quality audio signal with maximum electro-acoustical efficiency, power-density and outstanding maximum SPL levels.
Built with the same durable, rugged construction as all BASSO family members, BASSO10 cabinet is made with 15 mm birch plywood and finished with exclusive IDEA Aquaforce textured painting. The 1.5 mm weatherized steel grilled with Aquaforce coating and an internal foam panel protect the loudspeaker from any weather or ambient conditions.
BASSO10 features two integrated handles to easily handle this lightweight 15 kg subwoofer.
This compact form-factor cabinet measures only 395 x 300 x 400 mm allowing for unobtrusive, discreet integration into any location while providing excellent SPL for low frequency reinforcement for professional installations.
