Description

Both drivers in the Two10 work in unison to produce big bass and punchy mids but to improve dispersion only one has treble output - just like a PA line array.

It might seem counter-intuitive but the dispersion of a wave source is inversely proportion to the size of the source vs the wavelength - so side by side 10" drivers can have good dispersion through the lows and lower mids but once you get into the higher mids and treble the lateral dispersion narrows drastically. By only letting higher mids and treble come from one speakers we get much better dispersion through those frequencies so you have more consistent tone around the stage and venue. Not something you'll notice in a shop but something that can feel life changing on noisy gigs.

Critic Reviews

Cab Lab – Barefaced Audio Two10 | Bass Gear Magazine

bassgearmag.com

The Barefaced Two10 is a compact powerhouse that cleverly marries retro aesthetics with modern engineering. Its hybrid resonator design mimics the feel of a sealed enclosure, offering impressive low-frequency output and power handling for its size. The cab’s flexibility in orientation and modular design for impedance options make it adaptable for various settings. However, while it shines in sonic versatility and portability, some might find the lack of stacking corners and limited high-frequency extension a drawback. Overall, this cab offers remarkable performance and value, particularly for those looking for a lightweight alternative to bulkier setups.
