B&C Speakers 10CLA64

A B&C Reference Designed for the Bass-Midrange Register in a 10-Inch Format

The B&C 10CLA64 fits within the logic of modern sound reinforcement speakers: achieving a fast, clear, and dynamic bass-midrange in a reasonable size, while reducing weight thanks to the neodymium. In a multi-way speaker configuration, a 10-inch bass/midrange driver is often the choice for balance: enough radiating surface to provide body, and enough liveliness to maintain attack and presence in the lower vocal and instrumental spectrum.

With a specified frequency response from 75 Hz to 4 kHz, this model clearly targets the area where most intelligibility and impact occur: clean low-mids, projected mids, and possible crossover to a compression driver or tweeter depending on your filtering architecture.

Who Is It For and What Are Its Uses?

This speaker is primarily aimed at loudspeaker manufacturers, integrators, technicians, and DIY audio enthusiasts looking for a 10-inch driver capable of performing true bass/midrange work in portable sound reinforcement, stage monitors, compact front-of-house speakers, or direct replacements for drivers with similar characteristics.

Thanks to its efficiency and power handling, it is well suited for projects where a responsive and efficient speaker is desired, with a bass-midrange that "hits" without heaviness. The recommended enclosure of 29 liters tuned to 65 Hz provides a clear guideline for designing a coherent speaker, especially if your goal is a compact volume and controlled response.

Design and Key Features: Performance, Control, and Durability

Neodymium Motor: Power and Lightness

The neodymium magnet allows maintaining a powerful motor while limiting the total weight to 1.9 kg. This is a tangible advantage for mobile systems, stacked speakers, stage monitors, and any setup where every kilogram counts, without sacrificing control in the bass-midrange.

64 mm Voice Coil: Power Handling and Stability

The 64 mm voice coil is a central element of the 10CLA64's robustness. It helps handle the specified power while maintaining stable behavior, particularly useful when the speaker operates for extended periods at sustained levels. For bass/midrange use, this design also favors good transient response and clean reproduction of attacks.

Double Roll Suspension and Single Spider: Excursion Control

The double roll suspension contributes to mechanical support and centering during cone movement. Combined with an Xmax of 5.0 mm, it helps keep the bass-midrange controlled by limiting unwanted behaviors when increasing volume. The single spider complements the system with a firm response, suited for impact- and clarity-oriented use.

Exponential Cone with Waterproof Treatment on the Front

The exponential cone aids projection and midrange coherence, while the waterproof treatment on the front provides additional protection against moisture and field use constraints. This is an important detail for sound reinforcement applications where equipment may be exposed to varying conditions.
