Introduction
The M10 combines the advantages of the compact M8 with the imposing qualities of the high
performance M12. The M10 is fitted with the same 1.4“ mid-high driver as the M12 and the
M15, enabling a deep crossover frequency, thus giving a sound with the best possible intelli-
gibility and directness. Something that you do not get every day within this class. The low-mid
range is served by a 10“ driver with an extended voice coil for extra large linear excursion.
As a full range speaker, a compact monitor or a top, for instance in actively crossed over
combination with a B18 or B30 subwoofer, the M10 offers a direct sound with plenty in
reserve. Almost invisible. But impressively audible.

1. Safety | Intended use
The M10 loudspeaker was developed for use in professional sound systems. The loudspea-
ker may only be used by trained and qualified personnel.
WARNING
WARNING
WARNING
NOTE
NOTE
Please adhere to the following safety instructions to avoid risks when operating loudspeakers.
Note the operating modes described in this operating manual. Other uses are not permis-
sible.
Damage caused by improper use is not covered by TWAMBO.
Loudspeakers generate an electromagnetic field. Persons with pacemakers are not permit-
ted to remain in the immediate vicinity of loudspeakers as the electromagnetic fields can
cause pacemakers to malfunction.
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 90dBSPL can lead to long-term hearing impairment.
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.
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
NOTE
NOTE
Ensure that the loudspeaker is not exposed to permanent thermal overloads. Thermal over-
loads may cause a fire and result in serious personal injury and property damage.
Note that TWAMBO 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 TWAUDiO.
