- Optional acoustic lens widens horizontal to 105°
- Point source mode: 90° x 35° for tight, controlled coverage
- 132 dB max SPL, punchy for its size (11 kg)
- Integrated line array rigging hardware for fast fly rigs
- Pair with d&b D40, D80, D90, D25, 40D, 10D or 25D amps with T10 preset

Common Uses
Small-to-mid line array FOH systems, side and delay hangs, corporate awards, conferences, houses of worship, theatre reinforcement, festival side stages, and mid-size live music venues. The dual point/line source capability makes it a rental favourite: a single fixture that can fly as line array on one job and drop into a point source stack on the next.
d&b T10 vs Y-Series vs V-Series
The T10 is compact and flexible (line or point source in one box). Step up to the d&b Y-Series (Y7P, Y10P, Y8, Y12) for higher-output touring point source, or into the V-Series (V8, V12, V-SUB) for bigger live music rigs. The T10 is often chosen for compact fly rigs where a full V-Series or KSL system would be overkill.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the d&b T10 a line array or a point source?
Both. The rotatable HF waveguide lets you use the T10 as a curvable line array element (90° horizontal line source pattern) or as a stand-alone 90° x 35° point source loudspeaker. One box, two use cases.
Do you hire the d&b T10 with NL4 or NLT4 connectors?
Both variants are available. Specify NL4 or NLT4 when booking.
What amp do I need for the d&b T10?
Pair with a d&b D40, D80, D90, D25 (mobile) or 5D, 40D, 10D, 25D (installation) amplifier with the T10 preset loaded. The preset sets the tuning and limiter protection.
What’s the max SPL of the d&b T10?
130-132 dB max peak with D25/5D/25D/D40/D80/D90/40D amps.
What’s the frequency response of the T10?
68 Hz – 18 kHz standard at -5 dB. Switch to CUT mode when paired with a sub and the response tightens to 120 Hz – 18 kHz.
How many T10s per amp channel?
Up to 4 cabinets per amp channel, subject to venue power supply.
Does the T10 have line array rigging built in?
Yes. Integrated line array rigging hardware for fast fly rigs. Compatible with the d&b TB10 fly bumper.
How heavy is the d&b T10?
11 kg per cabinet. Light enough for compact rigs and quick trucking.
What’s the difference between the T10 and the V10P?
The T10 is dual-mode: line or point source in one box, and a rental workhorse. The V10P is a dedicated V-Series point source with higher max SPL (138 dB) and tighter 80° x 40° dispersion. Pick the T10 for flexibility, V10P for pure SPL.
