Featuring balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA inputs and outputs, adjustable crossover and phase controls, and a front-ported, internally braced 1\" MDF cabinet with a distinctive curved design, the DS10 steps up from the DS8 with a larger driver and greater low-end extension — ideal for small to medium-sized rooms demanding authoritative, accurate bass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e10\" High-Excursion Paper Composite Cone Woofer:\u003c\/strong\u003e A lightweight treated paper composite cone with rubber surrounds, high-power voice coils, and powerful magnetic circuits delivers warm, natural bass with speed and control.
