As loud, fat and punchy as a good 4x10” but half the size and super light.
So much cunning in such a small cab. As loud, fat and punchy as a good 4x10” but half the size and super light. Switchable impedance - 4 ohms or 12 ohms to suit your scenario. Designed to be used landscape for maximum sonic weight or portrait for reduced boom and improved clarity. Stack multiple Two10S cabs with any others in the 10CR range and flick the impedance switch to share power correctly and keep your amp happy. Barefaced Line Array for excellent dispersion either way round and Hybrid Resonator for sealed cab feel and tone but ported cab output and efficiency.
Need more? Use up to four Two10S cabs to make a modular 4x10, 6x10” or 8x10” stack.

Hello! I finally got my cab yesterday … it seems awesome. I just want to make sure nothing is wrong with it. I have an orange terror bass amp. I put volume halfway… treble, mid, and bass halfway… and overdrive/distortion at maybe 2:00 ( or at about 75%) When I do this… it seems like the speakers are “farting” or rattling. Is this simply too much overdrive? What are your thoughts? Thanks!

I have the retro two10, (4ohm), used with a all tube Marshall super bass 100 w from 1969, with a 4 and 8 ohm switch. ( ohm switch on 4)
I really love the sound and weight of the cab, and my question is... If I add the new two10S, will it give me more power/punch/bottom for use in bigger venues or outdoor gigs?
(This setup compared to the retro six10?)
If so, should my amp ohm switch be set to 4 or 8 ohm, for the best performance?
With best regards,
Svenni

Hello, I hope all is well! I have owned Two10 and Four10 cabs of yours and they were fantastic. The Two10 seemed like I needed to push it a little harder than I wanted too, and the Four10 was a bit much and would get a little loud before I hit the sweet spot.
I was curious if you would be up for building a vertical Three10 cabinet. It would get the sound up higher without being so tall it gets tippy, still light enough to one hand it, and a perfect match for all these class d heads that do 7-800 watts into 2-2.67 ohms. Fantastic one cab solution for all small to medium sized stages.
You could also use the same finish you do on the 12XN cabs for extra durability. Please let me know your thoughts.

Hi Mike,
I know what you mean, it's something I've pondered before - but I think the 2.7 ohm impedance would make it too niche a product. However, we've got quite a few people using One10 + Two10S stacks, which is basically a modular version that gives you three sizes of rig - would that work for you?
Best regards,
Alex

I've been using these cabs since July 2019, and they've really changed my life for the better! They always sound wonderful, and they're so easy to get about. Thanks for making great things!

Hi Alex,
I'm still loving my Two10S you'll be glad to hear, and I'll get to try out a Four10 in a couple of weeks as part of a communal backline at a festival. This prospect is triggering some major GAS so thoughts are turning to the purchase of a second cab, but I have a doubt I hope you can clear up for me.
For context I pay in a five-piece covers band with vocals, guitar, bass, keys and drums. I usually play through either an Ashdown ABM 600 EVO IV or a Trace Elliot Elf head, depending on gig size, whether I can be arsed making two trips to the car, etc.
As I understand it as a layman, the ABM would put 600W into one cab at 4 ohms, but only 300W into two cabs at 8 ohms (both switched to 12 ohms). I appreciate that double the power ≠ double the volume, nominal impedance, and so on, but I'm struggling to understand what practical benefit having double the speakers with half the power might give, either for myself as the player or the audience, assuming the amp is run at full bore in both scenarios. Is the doubling up of the speakers the most important component?
I'm sure you get asked this question a lot so apologies for retreading old ground!
Kind regards
Greg
Hi Greg,
That's a good question - and very very difficult to answer! Quick answer is that outdoors it probably helps quite a bit, indoors, not so much.
You could of course use the Ashdown to drive one cab and the Elf to drive the other, so when you'd have 600W for one and 200W for the other. Or you could add a Four10 and get 600W into a modular 6x10" stack. Glad you're loving the Two10S!
Best regards,
Alex

Hey Barefaced,
Received the cabinet a week or so ago, took a while, but that isn’t a problem. DHL did good. I missed the first delivery but was at home for the next attempt.
Had to wait for my speaker cable to arrive, so a little late getting back to you. Cab sounds great. When I cranked the volume loud (about 3/4) I got some natural overdrive which was the best sound I’ve ever heard. Need to figure out how to get that same tone at a lower volume. My amp (Demeter Bass 400D) doesn’t have a gain control. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks, great doing business with you fine folks. Have a great summer!

Just confirming I received it today. Sounds terrific! Many thanks again!

Hey I received my 210 and I am thrilled with it. It’s the best 210 I’ve ever heard and it’s replaced my Aguilar SL210 and my GR Aero 212. I also was able to by a Big Twin recently when it came up on Reverb and I’m very impressed by that as well. It’s incredibly loud and clear. It’s big though and more than I need for rehearsal. So I wanted to grab a single 12XN cab to have for rehearsal. My concern is which I should order. I roll of all my highs so I don’t need the tweeter and was thinking the Super Compact was the way to go. But I wanted to confirm that it is as loud as my 210 CR. If not I would order the Big Baby. Please let me know if the Compact is enough. Thanks,
Dale
Alex responds: That's great to hear! The Super Compact has similar max output to the Two10S but requires an amp with more power to get there because it's slightly less efficient and an 8 ohm load.

I'm already a happy owner of a Two10S and would like to add a second cab and have a couple of questions.
How would I order the Two10ST? Would I need to do that direct rather than through the web shop?
Alex responds: Yes, it’s now on the website, select the tweeter option on the Two10S
6/11/22 - Two10S - France
I receive my Two10s last Friday, on good conditions, and everything's OK. It works good!
At home, at low volume, it sounds great (with a clean sock in the port) and I'll try it soon with one of my bands.
It's easy to ear the different frequencies between the 2 speakers, and the mids and hight-mids are great (very 70's has I like)
I'll tell you more after a few times of practice
Kind regards,
Antoine, a happy bass player

Hi I recently purchased a used retro two10 to use with my SVT CL and I am in love. I am interested in purchasing a second one. I was wondering if you still had any cabinets left with the old badges with the black cloth grille? Thanks for your time!
Alex responds: Glad you're loving it! We have a handful of the old badges left that are unallocated, so we can make you a matching cab if you get in quick!

2.10 arrived
looks beautiful
need a bit of advice connecting up
i run a 800w fender rumble head through the 2.10 i bought a while back
i had the toggle on the back of the head in the 8/4 ohms setting and the 2.10 toggle on 4ohms setting
now that i have 2 2.10s
i have 2 questions
Q1: what should i have the toggle settings set to
Q2: do i daisy chain out of the first cab and into the second or do i come out of the other speaker output on the head
thanks
RD
Alex responds: Either switch both cabs to 4 ohms and the head to 2 ohms. Or both cabs to 12 ohms and the head to 8/4 ohms. And then you can daisy-chain or go direct from amp to cabs separately - it's all in parallel electrically so it doesn't matter which you do.

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.

The cab arrived safe and the first tests with the SVT Skunkworks are just WOW !
Warm, round, accurate, powerful, even at low volume... A pleasure to play, feel like my fingers are directly connected to the speakers.
The tweeter is definitely a great add-on for the use with the Synthi.
Bigger in sound and smaller in size than what I expected. It's amazing how such a small cab can sound so huge.
I'm super happy with my purchase.
Many thanks for your great work and service.

Thanks for building another excellent cab. Came just at the right time
as we are having a shelter in place order here in Santa Cruz. Maybe that long delay was good after all, now I have lots of time to break it in.
All the best

I've tried the 2 two10's out now and i'm very happy! They were perfectly packed, perfect finish, and the sound is just like you and the reviews say.
I like the many options i have, stack them on top ,or beside each other makes a difference in sound. They really work great with my OrangeAD200MK3.
Thank you Alex and the team!

Checking out some new heads and cabs, with the aim of sorting out a lightweight/compact rig for gigs around town that I can easily put in my trunk without me whining about it. Haven’t delved into this area in years, but I’m learning that modern amp/speaker tech is 🥜. So here we have a Bergantino Forté HP, with two Barefaced Audio Two10s. It’s crazy how much sheer impact this little rig has, with a very solid tone. And all three pieces together weigh less than 70 lbs

Like the rich, velvety underside of a charging attack mammoth.
That’s with a Genzler Magellan 350 and a Bartolini equipped Jazz Bass.
Just thought you’d like to know.

Hi,
Just thought I’d let you know that the Six10 arrived and it is amazing.
The sound of my SVT through it compared to two super compacts is difficult to explain but it’s basically the sound I had in my head when I wanted a bass tone.
One quick question though. What are the little ribbon tabs on the front for?
Thanks
Simon
Hi Simon,
Great! The tabs are in case you ever need to take the grill off (please don't though, unless something is broken!)
Best regards,
Alex

Rehearsing with the TWO 10 again last night and weight and power aside the best thing about this little box is the tone. Warm and solid in the mix in a reasonably loud rock band.

I am currently using a Barefaced Two10 along with my Darkglass Microtubes 900 as my main rig.
I love the sound of the Two10 as well as how light it is. Being able to carry everything I need in one trip from the car into the venue is awesome!

The Two10 arrived in great shape, thanks! I’ll reserve comment on the sound until it fully breaks in, but so far so good! This is now my 4th Barefaced cabinet that I own (not including the One10 that I bought but resold due to needing more output for my situation). I still find a use for each and every one of them. I ordered the Two10 because my Super Twin and Big Baby 2 don’t fit in the trunk (boot) of my new car (2017 Mustang convertible). For the record, the Two10 just BARELY fits ;) I’ve attached a picture. It’s pushed as far forward as it will go. I think that is probably the largest bass cabinet on the market that will fit in that trunk. I’m SURE it’s the largest SOUNDING cabinet that will fit in that trunk by far.
One comment on the padded cover: I prefer the covers for my ST and BB2 with the Velcro strap on the bottom to help protect that side and keep the cover from coming off. I would have liked that feature in the Two10 cover as well. Small grievance though.
Thanks again!

Thank you for your advice. I am enjoying the Two10 more and more with every gig and getting lots of compliments, especially on a recording date, the engineer loved the tone.

I just received my Two10 and it looks awesome! Can’t wait to get home and play it!
A very sincere thank you to you and everyone at Barefaced for making such excellent cabinets and providing outstanding service.
As an owner of a Big Baby II, a Super Midget and now a Two10, I am able to proudly say nothing but Barefaced for me.
Thank you again.

Hi Folks, just a quick note - been gigging the Two10 and it KICKS ASS!!
Using it with a Road Worn P (LaBella flats), a Diamond BCP-1 and a Markbass SA450. This combination works brilliantly. I can wind up the rig with no issues - a throbbing, muscular yet well-defined tone that just gets as loud as it needs to be with no fuss and no drama. Plus I can be heard at ANY position in the room. I'm absolutely loving the baked-in sound of the cab too, it's 100% what I was looking for. EXCELSIOR!! :)
