PreSonus AIR XD 10 – a 2-way active PA loudspeaker with a custom 10" LF driver (2.36" voice coil), 1" PEEK-diaphragm compression driver, 1,500 W Class-D bi-amplification (1,060 W LF + 468 W HF), DSP with a 2.6" full-color LCD and Bluetooth TWS Bridge Mode. Maximum SPL: 130 dB. Dispersion: 90° × 60°.
The AIR XD 10 is a compact multi-role loudspeaker designed to work as FOH, stage monitor and permanent install without swapping enclosures or accessories. Delivering 1,500 W and 130 dB SPL in a cabinet weighing approximately 14 kg that fits in a car's backseat, it represents a significant step forward from the previous AIR generation. The PEEK diaphragm in the compression driver provides heat tolerance up to 250°C and fast transient response under prolonged high-output use.
DSP, presets and built-in 3-channel mixer
The DSP section with 2.6" full-color LCD provides access to a complete toolkit: application presets (FOH, monitor, music playback, speech, enhanced low-end), ±10 dB EQ for LF and HF independently, and location presets that optimise the frequency response for stand, flown and bracket-mounted configurations. A built-in 3-channel mixer combines two combo XLR/1/4" mic/line inputs with a 1/8" stereo AUX input, with the summed signal available at a Mix Out XLR output for daisy-chaining additional speakers. Bluetooth TWS Bridge Mode enables wireless stereo pairing with a second AIR XD 10 without extra cables or hardware.
Mounting options and portability
The polypropylene enclosure with 1.2 mm steel grille includes a 35 mm pole socket with dual positions (0° and 7.5° downward tilt), M10 rigging points (2 top, 1 rear), and non-skid rubber feet on both the bottom and side for FOH or wedge monitor placement without additional accessories. A top-mounted carry handle completes the mobile package. Compatible mounting configurations include: AIR XD subwoofer pole, tripod stand, flying via M10 points, wall bracket and floor wedge.
