Cuboid 10 is a full range, two-way, passive, 10” loudspeaker designed to outperform its compact size. For short to medium throw distances, it effortlessly delivers rich and detailed sound with punch and precision.
With its wooden cabinet, steel grille and optional mounting hardware the professionally presented Cuboid 10 can be fixed in either portrait or landscape mode for a flexible, simple installation.
Cuboid 10 features a 10” (250mm) low frequency (LF) driver for impressive bass and midband with a 1″ (25mm) exit high frequency (HF) compression driver for clarity of vocal and high frequency projection. The HF section delivers consistent coverage in either plane from a user-rotatable horn.
For enhanced bass performance, Cuboid 10 can be teamed with Sub 15.
SmartAmp will provide amplification, optimal sound settings as well as limiters to protect the drivers when playing at louder sound levels.
When teamed with Zone and WebApp, system set up and end user control is effortless, and can be further supplemented by ZonePad wall controllers.
Optimal Audio Cuboid 10 FAQs
There are several key features and benefits:
- Full-range performance: Delivers rich and detailed sound with a 10-inch low-frequency driver and a 1-inch high-frequency compression driver, ideal for applications requiring clear vocals, music, and background audio.
- Compact and powerful: Despite its compact size, the Cuboid 10 offers a maximum SPL (Sound Pressure Level) of 120dB (continuous) and 126dB (peak) for effective sound projection in medium-sized venues.
- Wide sound dispersion: Offers a user-rotatable HF horn with a 90° horizontal and 50° vertical coverage angle, ensuring flexibility in directing sound towards the desired listening area.
- Passive design: Requires a separate amplifier to function. Optimal Audio offers compatible amplifiers like the Amp series.
- Professional design: Features a steel grille and a choice of portrait or landscape mounting options for a clean aesthetic.
The Cuboid 10 is well-suited for various indoor applications due to its powerful sound, compact size, and professional design. Some examples include:
- Restaurants and bars (background music and clear audio for announcements)
- Retail stores (in-store music)
- Conference rooms (speech reinforcement and presentations)
- Houses of worship (speech reinforcement and music)
- Gyms and fitness studios (background music)
For situations requiring deeper bass, the Cuboid 10 can be paired with a subwoofer from Optimal Audio, such as the Sub 10 or Sub 15. This combination enhances the overall low-frequency performance of the system.
While both Cuboid 10 and Cuboid 8 are full-range speakers, Cuboid 10 offers several advantages:
- Larger driver size: The 10-inch woofer in Cuboid 10 delivers a stronger bass response compared to the Cuboid 8’s 8-inch woofer.
- Higher maximum SPL: Cuboid 10 offers a higher maximum sound pressure level for louder audio output.
- Wider horizontal dispersion: Cuboid 10’s user-rotatable HF horn provides a wider 90° horizontal coverage angle compared to Cuboid 8’s 45°.
The Cuboid 10 is a passive speaker and requires a separate amplifier to function. Optimal Audio offers compatible amplifiers like the Amp series designed to work seamlessly with their Cuboid speaker range. The amplifier should have a compatible impedance rating (typically 8 ohms) and sufficient power output to drive the Cuboid 10 speakers effectively.
