KA-10BNC Loudspeaker

KA-10BNC Loudspeaker – Where Precision Meets Performance

The KA-10BNC Loudspeaker represents the pinnacle of acoustic engineering, seamlessly integrating proven B&C drivers with an acoustically optimized cabinet to deliver a truly immersive sound experience. Designed for professionals and discerning audiophiles alike, every element of the KA-10BNC has been meticulously crafted to ensure exceptional clarity, balanced tonal response, and dynamic impact across the entire frequency spectrum.

Advanced Driver Integration

At the heart of the KA-10BNC Loudspeaker lies a synergistic three-driver configuration that leverages the strengths of each component:

• B&C 10NW76 10" Woofer: This robust 10-inch woofer is engineered to produce tight, powerful bass and articulate midbass performance. With a design optimized for both high power handling and precision, the 10NW76 delivers controlled low-frequency output with minimal distortion—even when pushed to its limits.
• B&C ME10 1" Hyperbolic Cosine Horn (90° x 60°): Serving as a key element in the mid-to-high frequency range, the ME10 horn’s hyperbolic cosine design ensures a wide and controlled dispersion pattern. With its 90° by 60° coverage, it envelopes the listener in a uniform sound field, projects the midrange with exceptional clarity, and sets the stage for an expansive soundstage.
• B&C DE160 1" Compression Horn: Complementing the ME10, the DE160 compression horn is dedicated to handling the high frequencies. Renowned for its crisp and articulate treble, the DE160 delivers detailed transient response while maintaining optimum output efficiency. This dual-horn high-frequency section ensures that every nuance—from the subtlest harmonics to the brightest note—is faithfully rendered.

Precision Crossover Engineering

Flawless integration is achieved through a rigorously designed multi-way crossover network. Utilizing a fourth-order (24 dB/octave) Linkwitz–Riley topology, the system ensures:

• Phase Coherence: Each driver’s output is perfectly aligned in phase at the crossover points, resulting in an overall flat frequency response and seamless blending between the low, mid, and high bands.
• Accurate Power Distribution: The crossover directs the bulk of the energy to the low-frequency woofer while gracefully allocating the midrange and treble to the horn sections. This precise split preserves the natural dynamics of the music and prevents driver overload, even during extended high-level playback.
• Optimized Frequency Transition: By carefully selecting crossover points and employing steep filter slopes, the network minimizes overlaps and cancellation effects, delivering a balanced sound signature with exceptional clarity from 20 Hz up to 20 kHz.

Craftsmanship & Construction

Every KA-10BNC Loudspeaker is housed in a custom-designed cabinet that exemplifies both function and form. Built from premium 18mm Baltic Birch, the enclosure offers:

• Uncompromising Rigidity: The use of high-quality Baltic Birch ensures incredible structural strength while minimizing internal resonances, so that the raw output from each driver is translated into clear, undistorted sound.
• Acoustic Optimization: The cabinet’s design, including carefully calculated internal volumes and strategically angled baffle structures, is engineered to maximize driver performance. This approach reduces standing waves and dispersion irregularities, resulting in a precise and natural tonal balance.

An Immersive Listening Experience

The KA-10BNC Loudspeaker is more than just a collection of drivers and filters—it’s a complete system engineered to elevate your audio environment. Whether you’re in a high-energy live sound venue, a professional studio, or an upscale home theater, the KA-10BNC delivers:

• Deep, Resonant Bass: The 10NW76 woofer produces a rich, commanding low end that anchors the music while remaining tight enough to preserve clarity.
• Wide, Engaging Midrange: The ME10 horn provides generous coverage of the mid frequencies, creating a centered and expansive soundstage where vocals and instruments shine naturally.
• Brilliant, Detailed Treble: The DE160 compression horn captures the high-frequency nuances with precise definition and vibrant detail, making every note sparkle with life.

Conclusion

Marrying exceptional driver technology with advanced crossover design and state-of-the-art cabinet construction, the KA-10BNC Loudspeaker is a testament to precision engineering and acoustic artistry. Every component has been carefully selected and integrated to create a system that not only reproduces music faithfully but also transforms the listening experience into something truly extraordinary.
