About The Theory Audio Design sb210aw Outdoor Speaker

The Theory sb210aw is an all-weather, 4 Ohm or 70V/100V surface mount loudspeaker with dual 10” (254mm) carbon fibre bass drivers and a 6.5” (165mm) coaxial mid/treble driver.

Big brother to the remarkable sb25aw, the sb210aw offers wide-bandwidth, all-aluminium and stainless steel construction with mounting options to meet every possible installation need, including amusement parks, porches, patios, pool decks, backyards, restaurants, bars, hotels, houses of worship, marine, and anywhere broad, high-resolution, high-fidelity background or foreground sound is needed.

Available in black or white, the sb210aw incorporates a durable perforated stainless steel grille, water-tight loudspeaker wire entry point, selectable hi-z or low-z operating modes, and has an optional yoke mounting bracket available.

You have never had such a capable, slender, high-output loudspeaker in your system design toolbox before. Capable of astonishing range and output, the less than 6” (152 mm) deep, sb210aw will have you rethinking how you incorporate sound in your next high-value project.

The Theory of Everything

Theory is genuinely unique - their products have completely changed the level of performance attainable from small to medium size installed sound systems. Part of the way they attain this level of performance is by employing proprietary DSP techniques to process the signal for their loudspeakers and subwoof­ers with a very high degree of precision.

As such, the Theory ecosystem of products is a little different than what you're used to as all The­ory loudspeaker models require the application of Theory High Resolution Digital Loudspeaker Processing. For this reason, it is best to think of Theory loudspeakers as "active" or "powered" speakers - Theory have just elected to place the electronics, normally installed inside the loudspeaker itself, in rack-mountable chasses, outside the harsh environment of the loudspeaker, and where wiring and service of the electronics can be accomplished painlessly.

So, when configuring system designs, always pair your chosen Theory loudspeakers with appropriate Theory Amplified Loudspeaker Controllers. These highly powerful and flexible units will make deploying Theory systems simple and painless and will guaranty the best performance available for your application.
