BIG sound, tiny cab. From hi-fi to old school. Freakishly loud and fat.

When we launched the One10 in 2015 it blew everyone away - no-one expects a cab this small to have such a huge warm sound, or go so loud. It's very versatile tonally because the 10CR250 driver has amazing treble extension with cone output running to almost 6kHz and dome output to 10kHz+.

If you want sparkly clean tweetery sounds we have the One10T version: You know that thing you like about great 4x10" + tweeter designs - the big fat lows, the dynamic response, the smooth mids with tons of treble clarity. It's that. But with far wider dispersion around the room so you don't have to stand in one spot to hear your tone. And it's less than a quarter the size and a fraction of the weight - but two of these will outperform most 410s, especially classic models.

What about upright bassists and doublers? Depending on your pickup/bass pairing, you can either go with the One10 or the One10T with the extra acoustic vibes from the tweeter's open airy tones. The better your pickup/mic set-up, the more you can turn the HF control up for a proper dose of finger on string reality. Some double basses / pickups need mellowing out in the highs so for them you can keep it simple and stick with the One10.

Existing Barefaced owners - here's some ways this can pair up:

It's a perfect match for a One10 to make a two cab stack. If you have a Two10S and an amp that runs down to 2.7 ohm you can make a 3x10CR vertical stack. If you have a Four10, Six10 or Eight10 then a One10 or One10T is best used separately - but is a great way to get your big rig tone in less LOUD scenarios. If you have a 1x12XN or 2x12XN cab (from Super Midget to Big Twin 3) then a One10 or One10T is a great lower volume full-range alternative - the inherent fatness does good things when Fletcher-Munson isn't being so kind to your tone...

Extra-wide "landscape" version for Three10+One10W stack:

At extra cost we can make you a wider landscape version of the One10 to stack on your Three10, loaded with a single 10CRA driver.

Hi, I just wanted to say a massive thank you for getting the cab built and delivered in such a short space of time, it arrived yesterday so I've even got a bit of time to start playing it in before the weekend.

Thanks again for the great service, you guys are great.

Rob

Dear Barefaced,

Many many many thanks. You are all brilliant. My new One10 arrived today, and it smells beautiful. Not only that it sounds superb. Absolutely fantastic service. With the delays of the 10CRs coming from the States, I wasn't expecting it for a month or two, but here it is....and I'm absolutely over the moon. Once again I'm so grateful to for pulling the stops out. You're the best.

Cheers,

Graham

Thanks Graham, let us know how you get on with it!

Best regards,

Hey,

I own a One10 and really dig it. I don't currently push a lot of watts through it, but nonetheless it gets pretty loud for a little 1x10!

My questions are about the following specs:

Broadband sensitivity: 95dB
Max power: 250W RMS (500W clean)

I read somewhere that Barefaced doesn't measure sensitivity at the fairly common 1w/1m. If that's correct, how do you measure it? I only ask because it seems comparably loud to other cabs with higher rated sensitivity.

Next question is the delta b/t 250w RMS and 500W clean. Since different heads have different baked in eq, and different pedals do different things to a signal, there's quite a bit of wiggle room between the conservative 250 and the 500 (which I wouldn't ever try to do with a single One10.) Would say 300-350W with some mild OD and maybe reverb be a reasonable ask of a One10?

My One10 is perfect for what I'm doing right now. As I hope to get into some new playing situations, a matching One10 or Two10 is on the horizon.

Cheers,

Mike

Alex says:

Hi Mike,

Glad you're enjoying the One10! Our sensitivity specs are at 1W/1m half-space, as is the standard. The difference is that a lot of companies either pick the loudest point on the frequency response curve, take an average which has no weighting towards the lower frequencies that matter, or seemingly pick a number out of thin air! Or they use the 2.83V standard which gets you a 3dB higher number with a 4 ohm cab.

Our cabs are as loud as its possible to make a cab that still does proper lows, so anyone claiming better sensitivity isn't telling the truth or the cab doesn't do comparable lows so the sensitivity will be lower where it actually matters for bass instruments.

More info on power handling here: https://barefacedaudio.com/pages/10cr-power-handling

500W is fine as long as the sound isn't so dirty, and/or your band so loud, that you can't hear the speaker complaining.

Best regards,

Alex

Received at light speed and now wrapped around cab.

Thanks again, you make fantastic products and dealing with you fantastic humans makes it all the better!

Hi Alex

Have had the One10T for a while now and really liking the tone difference compared to the 12XN cabs I have.

Whilst having a play around the other day I tried running the One10 and the Super Midget together as a stack and they sounded great - the best of both worlds!

My question however - is there any detriment to running the mix of speaker sizes together (i.e. - would the 10 get worked much harder than the 12 at higher volumes and could I potentially harm one of the drivers?).

Using an Aguilar AG700 currently.

Thanks in advance

The cab is awesome, as usual. I use it weekly at rehearsal with my pre amp power amp gear. The dinky 5mm amp I bought just for home practice and pedal testing.

PS I'm still loving my SC too I haven't considered another cab since buying it years ago from you. Well, ok, maybe considering a 2nd SC to make a modular ST!

Just been giving my new One10 the run through, and it’s fantastic. Everything about it, it’s exactly what I need. Much appreciated!

Your gear is phenomenal. I've been using it for over 10 years now, I will never play through anything else. My sound is mine, finally after 37 years of playing bass and still going.

The One10T arrived on Thursday and I’ve been having some fun with it.

I knew it would be awesome but It’s even more awesome than I expected. I can hardly wait to see ow two of them sound.

Cheers

I currently have a One10 and Four10 i’m using with an Aguilar AG700 and Noble Preamp. I love the sound and tones I can get from it. I have an Ampeg PF-20T incoming that should pair nicely with the One10 for a smaller rig. I’d like to get an Ampeg Heritage SVT at some point and they only run at 4 and 2 ohms, so i’d need to couple the Four10 with a Two10 in order to run it (or just a Two10 on its own at 4 ohms). I also like the idea of have 2 One10’s for a nice 4 ohm stack.

Thanks for your help. I love the cabs.

Hi, I'm pleased with the One10 I have, so easy to carry and set up. However, I'm now playing in a rock covers band and finding that I have to go pretty loud to get through, particularly in medium/larger clubs with stages etc. And then the tone seems to suffer. I have a Darkglass 500 head.
What is the best way to go? Lightweight is important! A second One10, a Two10? Or something different? I think I'd like a fatter low end, but with maybe a bit sharper top end when some numbers need it. Tweeter?

Oh, what is the best placement for the one10 in gig situations. I'm always at the back with everyone stood in front with the one10 on the floor. Would it be better to raise the speaker on a (small) stand, or is floor resonance useful?

Bill

Hi Bill,

A rock covers band sounds pretty loud for a single One10! Adding a One10T will make it fatter and louder and give more treble brightness. Where to place the cab depends on the room and situation. You generally want at least one solid room boundary nearby (floor or solid wall), more nearby solid boundaries give more lows, fewer cost you lows.

My One10 arrived earlier this week. On arrival I found the box to be dented quite a bit. The cabinet however has not suffered any damage at all thanks to the superb packaging. That really payed off so compliments for that!
What a gem that little One10 is! I tried it out at home with a Crate Power Block which isn´t even a bass amp but it gives me an idea of what a powerhouse this cabinet is. Next week I will take it to our rehearsal room and introduce it to my Eden top. I expect it to be a revelating event.
Thank you so much for your service Alex, I´m a happy camper!
Best regards,

I have been using my 2x10 and 1x10T for the last year or so, they are both stunning!
Is there any chance of a 2x10T? Or a modification?
I didn’t think I would ever be asking for a tweeter, but the 1x10T is very usable,
I miss that now when using the 2x10 on it’s own.
All the best, keep up the incredible work!
Matt.

Cab arrived a few weeks ago and it’s fantastic: small, light (fits great in my Fiesta!)

and most importantly it sounds great. Have played a couple of gigs now, many positive comments, in particular one guy who said, “you can hear you fine even at the back of the room”, and that’s versus the rest of the big band!

Thought you might also appreciate the attached of my super portable rig with another sonic marvel, my LX Minis, which I only came aware of thanks to your guitar cab blog. I was inspired to build some and now I never need to buy speakers ever again.

When funds and need allows, I’ll probably have to get another One10. Thanks again and I’ll do my best to spread the word about your cabs.

Gentlemen,

You've made both the bassist and senior citizen in me very, very happy.

It’s a very punchy, clean and full sounding cabinet that has been perfect for my kind of playing situations.. and then there’s the weight.

Thank you big time!!

John

16/06/19 - One10 - UK

I know it’s a One10 but my goodness it’s smaller than expected, there is a lot coming out of that little box, worth 2 kidneys not 1!

Mike

Just got my One10!! Where do these deep lows come from?!? I'm still afraid to push it too hard since I'm using a 500W head but damn it's sounding good

Just dropping a line to let you know that I had my first band experience with my One10 yesterday. Alex, this cabinet is perfect!

So far I had been using it on my own, for practice and I loved its sound. But yesterday in the jazz workshop was a revelation. The sound is incredibly homogeneous across the frequency range. Each note is tight, full-bodied, punchy, clear and accurate. I was playing my Hervé Prudent five-string Lolita electric double bass through an Ampeg PF-350.

You've found the perfect formula! I had never heard that sound in real life (I had on recordings but not in real life). I just had to roll off the bass to 10 o'clock and add a little mid on the PF-350 EQ

I realize I had been trying to achieve this sound with my generation one Big Baby (no tweeter) and it took me quite a lot of tweaking: switching the midrange driver to "flat", fitting my Markbass MoMark with a tube preamp, fiddling a lot with the EQ (quite a challenge for me: a four-band EQ including two semi-parametric!).
With the One10 it's all here, easy and straightforward. Congratulations and deep thanks Alex!

Picked up this today. Was not prepared for the punch it packs. Even with the low A of a Dingwall NG3 it handles great. Can’t wait to gig with this!

My baby barefaced arrived today, so cute and small, really light just perfect..... Then I plugged it in and IT SCARED THE SHIT OUT OF ME. sat on top of my BTll I thought I had plugged in the wrong cab...... Blimey what a sound. Thanks guys another great cab. Just got to break it in a bit now........ 👶🎸🔊💨🎧 Yikes

Cabs arrived this morning safe and sound. I love the tone! Cant wait to use them on gigs this week. I think I’m more of the coloured tone type, these have the right amount of honk that I like to my ears compared to the Big Baby 2. Will let you know my thoughts after my gigs.

With a few gigs done, I’m totally stoked! The tone they have meets the tone I have in my head more than any other cab I’ve owned, including my two Big Baby II's. The rest of the band all commented on how they love the new One10's. Big and tight bass, great mids that cut and are defined. The mellow top is not a problem, as I can push the tops on my Bass preamp if needed. So with two One10's, Aguilar TH500, Sadowsky Bass, my sound is really happening. I think I'll have to consider moving on my two Big Baby II's as at the moment I cant see myself going back to them, most of my gigs have PA support, It’s really only if I have a large outdoor gig that I might need something bigger speaker wise. I haven’t had to push the amp too hard so far. Have you had feedback/experience with two One10's stacked on a really big stage? I’m wondering where the tipping point for needing bigger cabs is with this mini stack. Keen to hear your response. Thanks, so happy!

I have tried the Barefaced 10 inch cab with my double bass and I am really amazed at the sound quality and the way the low frequency project.

I think more people should know about your great products.
