DB Technologies B Hype 10 - 130W 10-inch Powered 2-Way Portable Loudspeaker with 120 x 85-Degree Coverage in Black Finish

The DB Technologies B Hype 10 is a compact yet powerful 130W 10-inch 2-way powered portable loudspeaker designed to deliver professional-grade audio performance in a highly portable and versatile package. This active speaker is part of the B-Hype series, which is known for combining aggressive sound pressure levels, exceptional clarity, and portability. Tailored for a wide range of users, the B Hype 10 provides an efficient and powerful sonic experience suitable for professional and casual environments alike, from live performances and DJ setups to presentations and smaller events.

Equipped with a 10-inch woofer (1.5-inch voice coil) and a 1-inch compression driver (1-inch voice coil), the B Hype 10 offers an impressive sound reproduction with a maximum SPL of 121 dB, ensuring that it can fill a space with sound despite its compact size. The asymmetrical dispersion pattern on the vertical axis and differentiated horizontal dispersion (85° up and 120° down) ensure even coverage, making it ideal for use in reverberant environments where precise sound direction is essential. This advanced horn design delivers uniform sound distribution and extended coverage, ensuring that all areas of the room experience consistent audio clarity.

The B Hype 10's integrated Class D amplifier with passive convection cooling provides 260W of peak power, ensuring efficient performance and minimal overheating even during extended use. The built-in DSP processor offers a preset EQ function, allowing users to easily switch between "Flat" for natural sound reproduction or "Boost" for enhanced low and high frequencies, depending on the application. This flexibility ensures that the speaker performs well across a variety of audio sources, from microphones to line-level inputs. Additionally, a combo input with a source type selector accommodates both dynamic microphones and standard line inputs, making it an incredibly versatile speaker for different setups.

The speaker's lightweight polypropylene cabinet, weighing only 9 kg (19.84 lbs), is designed with portability in mind. It features three handles (two on the sides and one on top) for easy transport, and the compact size ensures that it can be effortlessly moved from one location to another. The B Hype 10 can also be used as a stage monitor, with dual monitor angles (45°) for flexibility. A 36mm pole mount cup allows for use on a tripod or stacked on DB Technologies subwoofers, making it suitable for both small and large venue setups. The full metal grille offers durability and protection, ensuring that the speaker withstands the rigors of live performance and transportation.

In addition to its superior sound quality and portability, the B Hype 10 is designed with ease of use in mind. The back panel includes intuitive controls for volume, input sensitivity, and DSP preset selection, making adjustments simple even during live performances. The speaker also features a balanced XLR link output for easy connection to additional speakers, providing scalable audio solutions for larger events.

Overall, the DB Technologies B Hype 10 is a versatile, powerful, and portable loudspeaker that combines professional acoustic performance with user-friendly features, making it an excellent choice for a variety of applications, from live music to corporate presentations and DJ sets.
