Delivering the same sonic signature of its much larger SB Series subs, but from a vastly scaled-down enclosure, SB10i is barely larger than two side-by-side shoe boxes. A single 10-inch driver offers 27 Hz bandwidth with 124 dB maximum SPL, yet measures only 21.3” x 21.3” x 6.7” and weighs just 33 pounds. Sonically corresponding with L‑Acoustics X4i and 5XT ultra-compact coaxial speakers, the new sub has an elegantly discreet design, and is available in RAL colors.
