L-Acoustics Unveils Ultra-Compact SB10i Subwoofer for High-End Residential and Commercial Projects

August 23 2021, 05:10
French professional audio manufacturer L-Acoustics is determined to expand its range of solutions to reach also commercial installation and high-end residential markets. The latest product now unveiled by the company meets those requirements in the low-end. The L-Acoustics SB10i subwoofer extends the company's line of SB subs, with a vastly scaled-down enclosure design, not much larger than two side-by-side shoe boxes.
 

“The L-Acoustics R&D teams took on the challenge of designing a low-frequency enclosure with the industry-recognized L-Acoustics sound in a living room-proportioned enclosure,” says L-Acoustics Product Manager Germain Simon. “Even though it may sound like it defies the laws of physics, our new SB10i is a brilliant realization of that objective. It condenses the full power of an SB Series sub into an incredibly small, efficient package that will fit into any environment where a visually discreet yet high-performance system is desired.”

This highly effective, innovative subwoofer design delivers a bass output that truly belies its size. Equipped with a single 10-inch driver, the L-Acoustics SB10i reaches a 27Hz bandwidth limit, and is able to generate 124dB maximum SPL output, while measuring only 540 x 540 x 170mm, and weighing a mere 33 pounds (15 kg). Design to extend and sonically match L-Acoustics' X4i and 5XT ultra-compact coaxial speakers, the new SB10i sub has an elegantly discreet design, and is available in RAL colors. A feature set that the company believes makes it "a prime choice for high-end residential and commercial environments, and sophisticated hospitality settings, sports luxury boxes, museum installs, and much more."

The SB10i also offers flexible installation possibilities with a single unobtrusive panel containing all connectors and mounting points, so mounting hardware, cables, and connectors can be tastefully hidden, regardless of where or how the SB10i is installed.

“There has been increasing demand in the residential and commercial markets for audio systems that give the same experience as being at a dynamic, vivacious live show,” says Nick Fichte, Global Business Manager for L-Acoustics Creations. “With the launch of the new SB10i, we now have the perfect aesthetically unobtrusive subwoofer that delivers the impactful low-frequency punch that is a hallmark of our renowned festival and touring sound systems. The fact that it’s understated enough to be placed under a chair or a couch will be an unexpected bonus for residential and commercial projects alike.”

The new SB10i subwoofer is available for order now, with volume shipments scheduled to begin in the first quarter of 2022.
