The Blackline F10 is a versatile, 2-way passive system, designed to provide exceptional sound reinforcement and
stage monitoring from a very compact enclosure. It features a powerful 10" (250mm) low frequency driver and
a 1" (25mm) HF compression driver mounted on a constant directivity 90˚ x 50˚ horn. Depending on the
application, the HF horn can be rotated to allow the multi-angle enclosure to be used in either its vertical or
horizontal orientation.
The 2-way passive design of the F10 enables simple, high performance systems to be put together whilst
minimising the number of amplifier channels required. Where extra low frequency is required, sub-bass systems
such as the Blackline S12, S15 or S18 may be added.
The enclosure is provided with ten M8 inserts and four M8 inserts for a variety of mounting arrangements. It is
also provided with a top hat fitting for use with a tripod or as a pole socket for mounting above the Blackline
subwoofer.
Use of a controller with the F10 is optional. For demanding applications, an M3 or DX1 controller configured to
perform EQ and limiter functions is recommended.
