dB Technologies B-Hype 10 Speaker

Multifunctional 10"/1" Active Speaker in Plastic Housing with 240 Watt Amplifier!

Speaker Configuration

The extremely compact and lightweight B-HYPE 10, weighing only 9 kg, features a 10" low-mid driver and a 1" compression tweeter, making it ideal as a high-frequency unit combined with a subwoofer or as a stand-alone solution for speech, music, or as a compact floor monitor.

Bi-Amp Digital Amplifier

The entire B-HYPE series is equipped with a modern, digital 2-channel amplifier that actively separates one channel each for the woofer and tweeter, delivering a peak power of 260 watts. Thanks to convection cooling, the B-Hype 10 amplifier operates fanless.

Internal DSP

The internal DSP offers high resolution at 56-bit and 48 kHz and provides an active crossover including delay adjustment, phase and frequency correction, plus two sound presets: "Flat" for neutral playback and "Boost" for enhanced bass reproduction.

Limiter for Maximum Operational Safety

Like all dBTechnologies active speakers, the B-HYPE series features an input-side limiter for maximum operational safety and high audio quality, even at the performance limit. Both long-term and short-term overloads are detected and limited. In case of overheating, the thermal limiter activates to prevent component damage.

Asymmetric Horn Tweeter

Unique in its class are the asymmetric horn tweeters of the B-HYPE series, which ensure optimized dispersion behavior in both near and far fields. Thanks to software-supported development and simulation, these tweeters provide wide dispersion in the near field (120°) and reduced level loss over distance (85°) due to horn narrowing, ensuring optimal sound distribution across the coverage area. The 25° upward limited dispersion angle reduces ceiling reflections.

High-Quality Multifunction Housing

The B-Hype series is made from high-quality, extremely durable, and UV-resistant polypropylene plastic. For a sleek and professional look, the housing features a metal front grille. For easy handling, the B-Hype housing includes three handles—one on top and two on the sides. The 35mm stand flange allows use on a speaker stand or pole. The 45° angled rear side also enables use as a floor monitor.

Connections and Settings

The entire B-Hype series is equipped with a combo input jack that accepts both 6.3mm jack and XLR cables. A balanced XLR output is available for daisy-chaining the signal to other devices. Input sensitivity is switchable between "Line" for connecting mixers or other electronic devices, and "Mic" with increased sensitivity for direct microphone connection. The "Volume" control adjusts input sensitivity and playback volume. Power is supplied via a 3-pin VDE socket.

Usable as a stage monitor, full-range speaker in small setups, or in combination with a subwoofer!
