Swissonic NT10A

No studio is complete without a set of boxy speakers with bright white woofer cones, and the new Swissonic NT10A makes it quite obvious where the designers looked for inspiration. The Yamaha NS-10M still has a lot of fans, and if you’re one of them, you’ve now got another option for a speaker that looks just like them. Unlike the original and Avantone’s CLA-10, however, the NT10A is an active, bi-amped design.

The NT10A features a 7” woofer and a 1.25” ‘natural silk’ tweeter. They’re driven by two amp modules with 50 and 30 watts, respectively. The crossover frequency is 2 kHz. Swissonic states a frequency response of 50–20000 Hz.

The rear panel offers a low cut filter at 56, 80 or 100 Hz, LF and HF trim switches (-2/0/+2 dB) and a variable mid EQ. In addition to balanced XLR and TRS inputs at +4 dBu, there’s an unbalanced RCA input. The speakers come with removable fabric covers.
