The SB10 is a remote-powered sub woofer.
ideal in areas where space is at a premium but bass extension is still a requirement. However its
power output of 210 Watts RMS also enables the sub bass to be used in larger rooms and
applications requiring a powerful yet portable monitor. The
filters, which allow it to be matched accurately with a variety of full range cabinets. Used in
conjunction with the Quested S6, S7 or S8 active 2-way monitors, the SB10 enables an active, 3-
way, full range system in rooms that would preclude the use of a large full range monitors
The SB10 is remote powered, i.e. the amplifier and crossover electronics are housed in a separate
1U box. This brings with it several advantages. Firstly you can now mount the SB10 electronics
close to hand, bringing monitoring functions and metering to hand. This also makes it a lot easier
to precisely setup the sub bass. Additionally very low frequency reproduction causes vibration. In
standard self-powered designs these vibrations often feed back through the microphonic
components within the amplifier and cause distortion. Another advantage of this design is that the
cabinet and electronics can be upgraded independently of each other. Typical applications include
near to mid-field bass extension or dedicated LFE channel for recording/mixing, programming, post
production suites, broadcast and surround sound.
