Active PA Speaker With 10" Woofer and Class D Power

The dB Technologies B-Hype 10 is a 2-way active loudspeaker aimed at small venues, mobile setups, and solo performers. Built around a 10" woofer with a 1.5" voice coil and a 1" compression driver, the cabinet pushes up to 121 dB SPL from a 260 W peak Class D amplifier. At 9 kg with a 36 mm pole mount cup, it works on a tripod, stacked on a sub, or laid on its side as a wedge monitor.

Asymmetrical Horn and Onboard DSP Presets

What separates this cabinet from a generic 10" plastic box is the asymmetrical horn, which shapes horizontal dispersion to 85° up and 120° down. That geometry reduces reflections off floors and ceilings, so the speaker behaves more predictably in reverberant rooms. A DSP running at 48 kHz with 28/56-bit processing offers Flat and Boost EQ presets, while Peak, RMS, and Thermal limiters protect the drivers during long sets.

Amplifier, Drivers, and Connectivity

The Class D amplifier uses passive convection cooling, so there are no fans to add noise or moving parts that can fail on the road. A balanced XLR/TRS combo input accepts mic or line sources, and an XLR link output feeds a second cabinet for stereo or distributed setups.

• Amplifier Power: 260 W peak / 130 W RMS — Class D topology with passive cooling
• LF Driver: 10" woofer, 1.5" voice coil — reaches 55 Hz (-10 dB)
• HF Driver: 1" compression driver — asymmetrical 85°/120° horn
• Max SPL: 121 dB — headroom for small rooms and outdoor sets
• Inputs/Outputs: XLR/TRS combo in, XLR link out — supports mic and line sources

Right for Mobile Performers and Small Venues

The B-Hype 10 is the right choice for solo musicians, duos, small bands, mobile DJs, and presenters who need a self-powered cabinet that works as both main PA and stage wedge. Its 9 kg weight and three-handle layout make it easy to carry from car to stage, while the 36 mm pole mount fits a standard speaker stand or a dBTechnologies subwoofer. Users wanting Bluetooth playback or bi-amp topology will need to look elsewhere, but for wired vocals, instruments, and mixer playback, the B-Hype 10 pairs cleanly with a dBTechnologies sub for a full-range rig.
