BASIS 10

We have reimagined the compact subwoofer to create the perfect partner for our smallest loudspeakers. The BASIS 10 not only impresses with its compact form factor, but also leaves nothing to be desired thanks to its remarkable low-end performance and innovative features.

With an amplifier power of 800 W per channel, this subwoofer delivers powerful and precise bass. A dedicated channel allows for the connection of an additional passive subwoofer or passive loudspeaker. Expanding the setup with a second subwoofer enables a stereo bass configuration, which not only doubles the output but also simplifies placement within the listening environment. All channels are also equipped with configurable DSP filters, allowing the sound to be optimally adapted to the acoustic conditions of the room. The distance from the main speaker to the subwoofer can be compensated via a time delay adjustable up to 2000 ms.

Thanks to the optional Dante interface with built-in network switch, the BASIS 10 is perfectly suited for professional audio setups. The input signals from the Dante audio stream can also be routed to the analog XLR outputs, making even analog studio monitors Dante-capable within this setup. The BASIS 10 is not just a subwoofer, but a statement for the highest audio quality and flexibility.

Experience the perfect fusion of design, performance, and technology.

Important information about deviations from sample pattern

Wood is a natural product. Even the most thorough manufacturing can result in deviations in colour or structure and is no cause for complaint.
