Operating Manual B10
Introduction
Thank you for choosing a high quality product "MADE IN GERMANY" from TW AUDiO.
A sudden impact in depth paired with an exactly defined sound – this is what “bass”
sounds like.
The dimensions of our “smallest” let not assume such a performance. But the B10
wouldn’t be a TW AUDiO sub if it hadn’t more to offer: Its newly developed long excursion cone driver with an uncompromising 3" dual voice coil and optional passive crossover with switchable high-pass outputs enable the standard bi-amp mode amongst numerous other passive applications:
one single B10 in stereo mode together with two C5 tops, two B10 switched to mono
each with one M8, or four B10 together with two M10, all variations powered by one
standard amplifier.

Operating Manual B10
1. Safety | Intended use
Please adhere to the following safety instructions to avoid risks when operating the loudspeakers.
The B10 loudspeaker was developed for use in professional sound systems. The loudspeaker may only be used by trained and qualified personnel.
Note the operation modes described in this operating manual.
Other uses are not permissible.
TW AUDiO GmbH shall not be held liable for any damage that ensues from unintended
use.
WARNING
Loudspeakers generate an electromagnetic field. Persons with pacemakers are not permitted to remain in the immediate vicinity of loudspeakers as the electromagnetic fields
can cause pacemakers to malfunction.
WARNING
Ensure that the units are in a stable position and are firmly attached. A falling loudspeaker can result in serious personal injury and property damage.
When using and assembling TW AUDiO loudspeakers, only use materials specified by
TW AUDiO. These tasks must be performed by qualified personnel. Adhere to the applicable safety regulations.
NOTE
When using the loudspeakers, ensure that they are not exposed to the following ambient
conditions:
• Direct sunlight
• Moisture
• Jolting
•Dust
WARNING
Keep away from the immediate vicinity of loudspeakers that are operated at high sound
pressure levels. These loudspeaker systems are capable of endangering your health.
Sound levels beginning as low as approx. 90 dB SPL can lead to long-term hearing impairment.
NOTE
Avoid:
• Feedback
• Distorted signals (clipping)
• Peaks that result when devices are switched on or hot plugged and unplugged.
These signals can lead to loudspeaker overload..

Operating Manual B10
Note that TW AUDiO does not provide a warranty for damage that can be attributed to
this type of overload and therefore cannot be held liable for any secondary damage.
WARNING
Ensure that the loudspeaker is not exposed to permanent thermal overloads. This may
cause a fire and result in serious personal injury and property damage.
NOTE
A permanent, magnetic field is present in the immediate vicinity of loudspeakers. Ensure
that objects which react sensitively to magnetic fields are not located in the immediate
vicinity of the loudspeaker. In particular, this applies to magnetic data carriers, EC cards
and CRT displays. A distance of approx. one meter is sufficient to avoid damage.
NOTE
Check loudspeakers and accessory parts regularly for visible wear. This is essential to
ensure fault-free operation on a permanent basis. Replace worn parts promptly. Spare
parts can be obtained from TW AUDiO.
