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 cross-over 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.
If you lend your product to another party, inform that party of the safety-related operating procedures and hand over this assembly guide. If you require additional copies of this manual,
you can obtain them free of charge from TW AUDiO or download them from www.twaudio.de

1. Safety | Intended use
Please adhere to the following safety instructions to avoid risks when operating 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 operating modes described in this operating manual. Other uses are not permissible.
Damage caused by improper use is not covered by TW AUDiO.
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.
When working with heavy loads exceeding 20 kg (44,09 lbs.), use suitable aids (dollies, hoisting slings, etc.). Multiple persons may be required depending on the situation.
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.
WARNING
When setting up loudspeakers, ensure that they are not exposed to the following ambient
conditions:
• direct sunlight
• Humidity
• Jolting
• Dust
Keep away from the immediate vicinity of loudspeakers that are operated at high sound pres
sure levels. These loudspeaker systems are capable of endangering your health. Sound levels
beginning as low as approximately 90 dB SPL can lead to long-term hearing impairment.
WARNING
Avoid:
• Feedback
• Distorted signals (clipping) and
• Peaks resulting from switching on devices, plugging in devices or unplugging devices during
operation.
Such signals can lead to loudspeaker overload and ultimately to loudspeaker failure.
WARNING
NOTE
NOTE

Ensure that the loudspeaker is not exposed to permanent thermal overloads. Thermal overloads may cause a fire and result in serious personal injury and property damage.
WARNING
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.
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 storage media, magnetic stripe cards
such as debit cards and CRT displays. A distance of approximately one meter is sufficient to
avoid damage.
Check loudspeakers and accessory parts regularly for visible wear. This is essential to ensure
continuing fault-free operation. Worn parts should be replaced immediately. Spare parts are
available from TW AUDiO.
